Students’ opinions on immersion in France
Immersion stay with our teacher Claude | Normandy
“I spent a week with Claude and Jean Paul Gamelin in Normandy. They are very warm and friendly. They made me feel very welcome in their home. The courses were perfectly adapted to my needs. We went on beautiful excursions and I learned a lot about the history of Normandy. They invited some of their friends to their home to meet me and give me a chance to talk to people with different accents. It was a wonderful week!”

Claude is an outstanding French teacher, a real pro.We explored several sites in Normandy, most of which were quite interesting.My level of French is B1/B2.Claude identified my weak points and developed a program in which I saw an improvement.In addition, I ate like a king and was treated like a member of the family from the start.All in all, a truly educational and fun experience!

“A week (or two) of total immersion is highly recommended for all language students, but I’d particularly recommend SL Immersion to any other intermediate French learner looking for something to do beyond Skype/Zoom lessons. Come to France, it’s the best way to learn!”
