Is a home-stay immersion program right for me?
You want to learn French in France? You know that it is important to travel in the country to immerse yourself in the language and culture. That’s what immersion is all about! In the broadest sense of the word, a language immersion program means going to the country to learn the language. In all the stays proposed by S.L.Immersion, you study the language and you live with your teacher, under a complete immersion.
But is a home stay with a teacher in France right for you?
Here are 10 points that will help you understand.
If you answered “YES” to the majority of the points. The immersion program is for you.
To summarize
For your stay in immersion, your teacher will give you an à la carte course according to your tastes, your interests… You will have a certain connection with the teacher who will very quickly identify your difficulties, thus facilitating the implementation of adapted methods. As soon as you feel at ease, it is easier to dare to speak up. Confidence is established more easily and any inhibitions fall away.
The formula of immersion stays at the teacher’s home is also very suitable for people who have trouble concentrating in class or who are discouraged by the “back to school” spirit.
With home-stay immersion, in addition to having tailor-made lessons, you will practice guided conversation during activities, meals and daily life. Depending on the program you choose, you will have breakfast, lunch and/or dinner with him/her or his/her family. This is a great way to bond with your partner, establish a close relationship and boost your language skills.
Don’t worry, we make sure that we choose a teacher that matches your profile after asking you a few questions about your hobbies, your tastes…
In addition to structured morning classes and meals, you will also have the opportunity to share quality time during excursions with your teacher. These moments will be a perfect excuse to improve your oral fluency and practice the concepts learned in the morning during private lessons.
As you can see, language immersion programs are extremely effective. The great immersion in the language and culture makes you practice and progress in a natural way. A trip of one or two weeks already makes a big difference. Our immersion stays at the teacher’s home are very successful, proof of the effectiveness of our method. Indeed, it is the best way to experience the French language and culture! The bonus: we make friends 🙂
