IMMERSION FRANCE

Intensive French language courses in the Val de Loire

 

 


Welcome to the Immersion France web-site

You will find here all the relevant information you need to know about our intensive French study courses where we will well and truly immerse you in the language! The site's pages will also tell you about the settings where these courses take place; the local areas of interest and prices and dates of our courses which offer the ideal opportunity for you to enjoy your study holiday by learning French in the French environment. We offer professional courses run by university lecturers to cater for all levels, while accommodating you in the homes of French families.

Why Immersion France?

Many visitors to France speak French well enough to get by in shops and restaurants, but find themselves at a loss when it comes to talking in French about the things that really interest them. Getting recipes from the butcher, discussing the new Government with neighbours, chatting about this year's wine harvest in a local café - all this is of the essence of living in France. Immersion France, founded in 1996, offers intensive six-day language courses in which French is the only language heard and spoken. We seek to capture the essence of La France profonde while helping individual students to develop their linguistic skills and confidence at their own level. The work done in the class room is consolidated by the fact that accommodation and meals are provided by local families so that from the moment you arrive in Suèvres until the moment you leave you will be truly immersed in the language and culture.

What kind of students come to us?

We cater for adult students of French who have an established interest in the French language and way of life and are anxious to improve their linguistic skills - either in general, or in preparation for specific courses such as those of the Open University. We also specialize in the revision and consolidation of oral and written proficiency in the run up to public examinations. Many of our students have returned to us a second, third and even more times! Although our courses normally last for six days, we are more than happy to plan a fortnight's course or longer for those who would like a deeper immersion in the language and way of life.

We can also offer specialist 'group' weeks, for example in French art and literature, or French cuisine, and Primary French teaching.

We are also happy to organise tailor-made courses for groups of four or more.
