Student reviews about French immersion
Immersion stay with our teacher Anne Laure | Bordeaux
“The week was very good. Of course the daytime classes helped me a lot. Anne did them precisely to make up for the weaknesses in my French. The excursions to see the monuments of Bordeaux and the surrounding area were very interesting, in particular the town of St Emillion for a wine tasting was a very good day and finally ending up at the underwater basin for a sound and light show was wonderful, but the best part was probably talking during meals with her and the others on several topics. Overall, it was a great experience of French culture.”

Immersion stay with our teacher Anne Laure | Bordeaux
“This was my third stay with S.L.immersion and I had another incredible experience – this time with Anne Laure in Bordeaux.
Anne Laure was an excellent teacher and put me at ease right from the start of the stay. She quickly found the best way to improve my French in an enjoyable way.
Bordeaux itself is a charming city with a pleasant mix of old and new. It is very easy to walk to anywhere in Bordeaux from Anne Laure’s apartment. I also recommend a bike ride around Arcachon. I highly recommend Anne Laure as a host and teacher.”
