Many of us start learning a language, but then things get in the way. The textbook starts gathering dust, you miss a lesson here and there . . . you unsubscribe!

With the best intentions, you embark on a learning journey, but it is not always so easy to get speaking a new language, and especially on your own!

Sometimes you need a different approach. You need an intensive immersion to shift you totally into the next gear: to get started speaking, to be able to join conversation, to cover the basics, or to thrash out the nitty-gritty of grammar that has tormented you for so long! 

Immersive Homestays are a way of living in France: 100% French every day, lessons, learn local recipes. conversation, trips out, intensive reading sessions, meals with friends and just plain relaxation . . . a French week totally dedicated to YOU, just YOU.

This is for you if . . . 

• Are committed and ready to make a giant leap into progressing your spoken French.
• You want to life the life in France but not alone. 
• You want your teacher with you so you can max out on the learning and the in between moments of French conversation
• You love feedback and fast progression.
• You're ready to put the time in to really study intensely for a week.

This is not for you if . . .

• You don't like old country houses 
• You don't like garden fruit and vegetables or fresh eggs from the chickens
• You don't want to speak French all day for a week!
• You think learning a language is something that happens by magic overnight. 

The mistake that most people make is that they think that drifting around the internet for random learning is the cheap option. What they don't take into account is how slow or ineffective that can be.

Or worse...

...the social or job opportunity costs associated with not being able to communicate confidently. The lost friendships, being passed over for promotion or remaining scared to fulfil the lifetime dream of visiting France. And then, the holidays where you point at the menu and hope you get something decent!

Never mind getting ready for that speaking exam and being able to breeze through it since you're speaking naturally and comfortably, whatever your level. 

So, if you are like so many of my students and want to stop surfing the internet for freebies, stop hiding behind the fear to speak, and finally get properly committed and fast track your French Learning Success  

...then Immersive Homestay is your opportunity and Christine is your guide!

And you can get access today 

You might also ask what it will cost if you stay on a French speaking plateau and you find you’re saying the same things all the time?

It doesn't have to be that way.

We want to make it as safe as possible for you:

You can cancel if circumstances change. We do not want to profit from this unfortunate event, so we will refund your money.

Simply send us an email as soon as you know about your cancellation to [email protected] with the email address you used to order your Homestay. Things happen and changes sometimes have to be made at the last minute.  We understand this.

Please bear in mind that if we have had to spend in advance on your behalf, it is not always possible to refund those  particular costs.  Before spending, you will be able to agree to preparation purchases.

When you’re speaking confidently having mastered the tricky grammar that was constantly bugging you. 

Imagine losing that fear of judgement of what others think of us when we speak French. 

Many of us feel we don’t have the time to squeeze in the most important part of learning a language – and that’s getting valuable personal support and intense practice.

With NO ENGLISH distractions!

We also feel it’s a big financial commitment, when in fact, you possibly already spent more than this on random learning, books, courses, other lessons, who knows!  

It doesn’t have to be this way!

When you do an Immersive Homestay, things change fast!

Imagine meeting French people who want to connect with you too...

...and mastering those ‘brain freeze’ moments.

Imagine looking forwards to speaking French, instead of that stomach sinking feeling of dread. Your friends will be waiting with equal excitement to share their week and progress their French in discussions and practise learning with you!

Imagine having the confidence to speak in public, at work, in meetings and actually make a more positive contribution!

Imagine meeting a family member who is French and  you've not been able to connect properly before, and then enjoying speaking French with them!
