Traveling or studying, having fun or learning, why choosing if you can do both at the same time?

​

Learn  and practise outside the classroom, meet new people and interact with locals. After all, this is why you're learning French, right?

  Visit a new place

Known for its great cuisine, its breathtaking landscapes and its very strong identity, South West region is very unique. Don't think twice, it's definitely worth a visit. Or Two. Or more because the exploration of this extraordinary place is endless.

Experience the authentic French lifestyle while staying with your French teacher and meeting native French people.

Janet Ruby, Melbourne

In 6 years of studying French, I haven’t had a better learning experience. There is really nothing like learning French in context.  In the Pays Basque this includes 101 ways to talk about the weather!

I was interested in culture and nature, so Sarah proposed a program based around visits to villages with historical and contemporary signifiance, as well as exploration of the countryside. The Pays Basque region of France is indeed very beautiful and fascinating.

Sarah is very warm, welcoming and an easy-going host. She was enthusiastic for my success, and is a passionate and highly skilled teacher. She is creative and responsive, and rapidly adapted her lessons and our activities to my strengths and weaknesses. As a result we made extra visits to sites where I could benefit from a guided tour in French and Sarah made sure I understood the jokes! The program was enriched with many unplanned visits and impromptu activities, based around my interests. These included cultural museums, a concert and even a spin through an Emmaüs centre as I was interested in the story of l’abbé Pierre.

My immersion in French language and all things Basque with Sarah was both enjoyable and enriching. It exceeded my expectations in improving my grasp of the spoken language. I recommend an immersion with Sarah in the strongest terms if you want to improve your confidence in French, immerse yourself in French culture and have fun at the same time.
