Holiday itinerary
This is no ordinary language learning experience, you will not just be led through a text book but instead, living with your teacher means that you will be guided through the language at all times to really help develop your linguistic skills.
This intense method of learning a new language will have you thinking in as well as speaking French in no time at all and once you think in a different language, you will find that you can progress at a rapid pace.
All teachers are highly qualified and have either a teaching certificate recognised by the state, or a university degree (or equivalent) accepted in the private sector.
All qualifications are verified and the teachers’ homes are regularly and thoroughly inspected to ensure standards are maintained.
Although you are living with your teacher, you are of course free to come and go as you please so you have complete freedom on this learning holiday with a difference.
