French immersion in Brittany
Learn French by using it, not only by studying it. Real situations, a native teacher beside you, and the Brittany coast as your setting.
Plan my immersionLessonsWhat immersion means here
Immersion does not mean being thrown in at the deep end. Your teacher first prepares each situation with you (the words, the structures, the tone), then goes with you to practise it for real. You hear French, you speak French, and you are corrected on the spot.
The lessons are given in French from the beginning, at a level adapted to you.
A setting that does the teaching
Dinard and the Emerald Coast offer everything a language learner needs: markets and bakeries, cafés and restaurants, the seafront, local producers and cultural outings. Each of them becomes a lesson, and along the way you learn how French people really speak, and a little of how they live.
Intensive or relaxed
Some students want a full week of immersion; others prefer a few sessions during a holiday. The programme is tailor-made, so the rhythm is yours.
Examples of immersion activities
- Finding your way around a French supermarket
- Ordering a drink or lunch and chatting
- Asking local producers about wines and cheeses
- Renting a bike or buying a train ticket
- Visiting a museum or exhibition with your teacher
- Asking the tourist office about cultural activities

What our students say
« I took French classes for two weeks during the summer of 2018. My French improved greatly. My favorite part was that the classes are full immersion: our private lessons were completely in French. After just a few classes I could see my confidence go up when interacting with the locals. »
« As a complete beginner I spent one week of intensive studying French. My teacher gave me an excellent basis of the French language. She adapted the course to my goals and my speed of learning. Learning French in the historic centre of Strasbourg was a great experience. »
