Posted on Ed HatcherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely fabulous experience with Celine and Gilles. Each day, I improved my French thanks to Celine’s expert teaching with great adventures and hikes in the beautiful Breton countryside. A truly great experience!Posted on Natasha HatalskyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My immersion experience was amazing. My teacher, Céline, was incredible. She taught me so much, and by the time I left after one week, my ability to speak and understand French had improved astoundingly. I was so much more comfortable in the language, and I even felt comfortable going into new situations with people I didn't know and just talking with them. Every time I had a question, Céline was able to explain exactly how the language worked and why. It was super clear that she's been teaching French for 30 years. Her breadth and depth of knowledge are such an asset. She was also funny, generous, kind, and delightfully creative. My lessons were completely tailored to both what I needed and what I was interested in learning. Living in her beautiful home and talking with her family and friends was also an amazing learning experience. I've found that one of the best ways to learn French is not only to hear it a lot, but then to have a the chance to speak it in an environment that is kind and safe where you can make mistakes and not worry. Céline and her family and friends made this totally possible for me. They even adjusted their language and conversation so it was more on my level, but still with some words I didn't yet know. It was incredibly helpful to have the chance to both listen and speak in French for the entire time I was there, and since both she and her husband are fluent in English (and one of her friends was too), I could always get a clarification in English if I needed it. The activities we did were also wonderful. From meeting all the family's delightful animals, to going to see the coastal cliffs and the menhirs, to Celtic dancing and going to a fabulous marché, I felt like I had the richest possible visit to that area of Brittany that I could possibly have had. A million thanks to Céline, her family, and her wonderful friends for their extraordinary kindness and generosity and for an incredible learning experience. Merci beaucoup!Posted on Veronica RorichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter and I stayed with Dominique in Burzet for a week of French immersion. We both loved every minute. Dominique is an attentive teacher and we felt that we learnt so much. The venue is peaceful with lovely country walks around. Thank you Dominique for an unforgettable experience!Posted on Lyn OngTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spent two weeks with Dominique in Burzet, Ardeche and it was one of the most enjoyable and effective learning experiences I have ever had. Dominique is a wonderful teacher - patient, kind and encouraging, while also challenging you to improve. She gave me a strong foundation in the language, particularly sounds, pronunciation, sentence structure, listening and speaking. She corrected me at every turn, which I really appreciated. What I found particularly refreshing was her approach. There was no rote learning and I didn't write a single word during class. Instead, she uses visuals, listening, conversation and creative methods that, from my experience, work far better than traditional language teaching. The lessons were focused, challenging and fun, and we laughed a lot. I have never enjoyed language classes more. The outings were also a wonderful part of the immersion - thoughtfully planned and a great way to practise the language while experiencing the local culture. I swam in rivers, played pétanque, visited beautiful villages and markets, and met a goat farmer and a beekeeper. If you're looking for a genuinely immersive and different approach to learning French, I would wholeheartedly recommend Dominique and S.I. Immersion.Posted on Susan Mayes-SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spent a week with Marie and her family in Fayence, Cote D’ Azure. I had a fabulous time everyday. The language instruction each morning was fun and rewarding and the daily activities and excursions interesting. I loved learning more about French history and culture, including more about life in the Middle Ages. Visiting several villages provided an experience that surpassed my expectations. Marie is an excellent teacher, wonderful cook and her home and family provided. a delightful and meaningful experience.Posted on NancyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An outstanding immersion week with Naomi and her family! Not only did I progress with my French, but I enjoyed a beautiful visit to this wonderful area. Naomi's structured 1:1 lessons were very effective; she is a gifted teacher. Additionally, I very much enjoyed gorgeous Auvergne, the community, and the lovely people. I experienced a true connection with the community that could only be possible through this program and Naomi. Really can't say enough about what an exceptional experience this was in every way. Many thanks!Posted on Tony PaykelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In April and May this year, I spent 3 weeks in a small village called Burzet, In the Ardèche region of France. I lived with Dominique my language teacher and her husband Fred, in their wonderful home, that sits approx, 500m above the village in the surrounding mountain area. The whole experience was absolutely amazing! Dominique was so professional, so well organised and completely attuned to me and my needs as a learner of the language. She was flexible in how the course elements were presented to me, to ensure I gained the maximum benefit from my time spent during the immersion. The full 45 hours of lesson time was delivered as promised, as were the eleven (yes, 11!) amazing excursions that were included in my course, outside of lesson time. Dominic‘s experience, knowledge and commitment to delivering the best product possible for her students is a great example of the standard of the courses that are available. I very much recommend undertaking a course with SL immersion. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, it’s a wonderful way to immerse yourself in French life and culture and of course to improve your language skills. Thank you to the SL immersion team and all those who contribute to making it such a wonderful experience all round !Posted on KeelyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
