What you'll do

Overview

Go learn to speak French on this unique 1 week complete French immersion course in or near Nice where you live-in with your teacher to fully immerse yourself in the language and culture of France and accelerate your French learning experience.

This is no ordinary French language learning experience, as you will not just be led through a text book but, instead, live with your teacher in the beautiful city of Nice, meaning that you will be guided through the language at all times to really help develop your linguistic skills and put them into practice from day 1.

These French language immersion programmes have shown to give the same results in 1 week as opposed to 4 weeks in a language school classroom environment which means making the most of your time in France.

Finding the best tutor for you is important to us to ensure you not only receive the best tuition but also the comfort of a home away from home. We ask you to provide us with a little information about you and what you want to get out of the course as well as what your interests are and any allergies or dietary requirements and so on. This then allows us to find your perfect tutor match.

Accommodation in your own private room in the teacher’s house is included in the cost of the holiday, as well as 3 meals a day plus at least 3 accompanied outings to local places of interest during the week. This means that not only do you get to experience local cuisine and cultural & local customs but you will also have the chance to practice the language outside of your lessons in a natural environment in the company of native speakers.

Although you are living with your teacher, you are of course free to come and go as you please so you have complete freedom and the opportunity to explore everything the city of Nice and the Côte d’Azur has to offer on this learning holiday with a difference.

Arrival

– Arrive at your host teacher’s home and spend the day and evening settling in to your new surroundings

A Typical Day

– As lessons are tailored to you, there is no set times for the learning
– Your hosts tend to recommend lessons in the morning as that’s when most people are more responsive to learning but schedules can be tailored to fit around you
– Usually lessons run Monday to Friday so you have the weekends free
– Outside of your lessons, you will be continuously immersed in the language as you will be living and dining with your language teacher, think of it as being a close friend or relative coming to stay and while you are free to come and go as you please, your host will welcome you into their home and daily life

Departure

– After breakfast, get ready for your departure, whether you’re heading home or onto another adventure

Your local host

Your teacher

Over the years, results and feedback from guests have proven that studying and living with your teacher is the most effective way to learn a language. The greatest care is taken to learn as much as possible about the students and host families so that teachers of similar backgrounds can be matched to the student. Teachers may be working part or full-time in a school, retired teachers, or people who worked in a different field before beginning their immersion teaching. Such a variety of backgrounds makes it easier to place students with the right teacher. As soon as we receive your enquiry, we'll send you a short questionnaire to complete so we can understand your language goals and personal interests. This will ensure we find the right teacher to suit your needs.

Getting there

Please note that prices for the holidays do not include flights. We recommend using www.skyscanner.net to check flights.

Nearest airport:
Some host families are based in and around the Nice area but could be anywhere along the Cote d’Azur so multiple airports may be convenient. If you have a preference of location or airport, please state this with your request and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

The exact location of your host teacher’s home and the nearest airport will be confirmed as soon as you have agreed to a family profile and confirmed your booking.

What our travellers are saying...

This was a memorable experience, My host teacher could not have been kinder or more welcoming. She is an excellent teacher and good fun too, a wicked sense of humour. The accommodation was excellent, I slept soundly every night. The food was ample and delicious, how I am still in the same jeans is a mystery. The trips out were enjoyable too, it was all delightful. Marco and I made some local dishes together and I observed my host teacher cooking
