Discover Elizabeth’s adventure: an authentic immersion at Caroline’s home in Florensac!
Hi there!
Get ready to be swept away on a French adventure full of surprises, discoveries, and emotions! Today, we’re delighted to share with you the experience of our student Elizabeth, who enjoyed a unique immersion stay in Florensac, Occitanie, at Caroline’s home.
On her arrival, Elizabeth was greeted by her teacher Caroline. Caroline was her guide to the region. Together, they explored the hidden corners and typical markets of southern France, chatting happily away.
Thanks to Caroline, Elizabeth was able to immerse herself completely in this vibrant culture, forging deep bonds with the locals and creating unforgettable memories. Every day was a new adventure, a new opportunity to discover the hidden riches of this welcoming land.
As the days went by, Elizabeth felt more confident, and during conversations, she no longer needed to search too long for words. Conversations with locals during activities were fluid! But more than that, she realized that the real beauty of learning a language lies in the human connection it creates, and in the bridges it builds between cultures.
Elizabeth’s daily life in Florensac
Every morning, Elizabeth awoke to the sound of church bells and began her day with a typically French breakfast of croissants and coffee. Mornings were often devoted to intensive French lessons with her teacher Caroline, where they covered not only grammar and vocabulary but also idiomatic expressions and the subtleties of the language. In the afternoons, Elizabeth explored the city and its surroundings, visiting lively local markets where she practiced her French by chatting with shopkeepers and discovering regional products.
During meals, Caroline guided the conversations, encouraging Elizabeth, and they discussed a variety of topics, from French culture and history to current events. These exchanges allowed Elizabeth to immerse herself even more deeply in the French language and culture while reinforcing her language skills in a relaxed and enjoyable context.
Language and Cultural Immersion through Elizabeth’s Eyes
In her testimonial, Elizabeth expresses her gratitude to S.L.Immersion and Caroline for this unforgettable experience:
“I’ve just returned from France, and I wanted to say a big thank you to you and Caroline for a wonderful immersion program! My immersion program in Florensac was truly exceptional. I made great progress in one week thanks to Caroline’s teaching, guidance, and patience. She’s a superior instructor!
Caroline introduced me to so many things about the Occitanie region. I explored the incredible market and architecture of Pézenas. We took a boat trip to learn more about Mediterranean oysters. We went through Béziers, Florensac, and Marseillan; we drove all over the region! It was all wonderful!
Best of all, I met Caroline’s family and friends, all of whom accepted me with a kindness and generosity I’ll never forget. The experience was truly a dream come true. I’ve already bought two more French books to continue learning, and I’ve signed up for an intensive course in the United States.
Thank you for the preparations, the communications, for everything! I hope to come back for another immersion program! I’m sending you a few photos from my trip. I took so many that I can’t send them all.”
These are the words Elizabeth shared after her stay to thank S.L.Immersion and Caroline for this wonderful experience.
It’s our turn to thank you Elizabeth for this wonderful message that touches us so deeply.
