If you are considering an immersion course to improve your French, stop right here and sign up with French Bubble Immersion. I cannot imagine a better immersion course. I spent a week with Delphine in mid-September of this year and had a fantastic time and learned a great deal. My only regret is that I did not schedule a longer stay. For those of you who may be wondering why I am writing a review in English and not in French after an immersion course, not to worry, I am writing this in English so that beginners or others who are just starting their French journey will be able to fully understand and not miss anything. However, if you spend a week (or more) with Delphine your French skills will be greatly improved no matter your level.

Delphine is a fantastic teacher. You can tell she really enjoys teaching French and exposing students not just to the language but the culture. There are many adequate teachers but the really good ones, like Delphine, know how to connect with the student and tailor the lessons and interactions accordingly. Just tell her what you want to work on or what concerns you have and she will get to work and set up a program to help you.
If you are like me you may be concerned about certain things such as: whether you will be comfortable in the student apartment; whether you will get along with Delphine; whether the lessons will be too hard or uninteresting; whether you will have enough time alone or maybe too much time on your own. Rest assured, you have nothing to worry about. Delphine and her partner, Adrien, are very warm, charming and fun to be around. The apartment is very comfortable and located in a quiet building in a lovely calm neighborhood that is only a short walk from the city center of Pau. Pau is a great city, the climate is nearly perfect, it is big enough to be interesting but small enough to be accessible and friendly. The apartment is two floors above Delphine and Adrien’s, so it is very convenient to meet for lessons or excursions, but being a separate apartment, you will have your own space to relax when you need it. As far as the level of the lessons or their form, that is entirely up to you and Delphine. She is very intuitive and will adapt the lessons and interactions so that you are comfortable.
Make sure you take advantage of one or more of the excursions. These are great opportunities to speak French, see something new and interesting and just have fun. We went to the mountains, and the local caves, both of which were fantastic. As an added bonus, Delphine’s mother joined us for the excursion to the ski/mountain resort of Artouste. As you can see, Delphine does not treat you just as a student but really endeavors to make you feel at home and part of the family.

« An incredible twelve days in the magical town of Pau in the foothills of the Pyrenees mountains.
Delphine and Adrien were friendly hosts and I felt welcome and looked after throughout my stay.
Delphine is an excellent teacher and the morning lessons were adapted to my needs. We spoke only French and engaged many interesting conversations. I’ve realised after my stay that my level of comprehension and spoken French has improved considerably.
The separate appartment was well-equipped and comfortable.
Delphine suggested many activities on offer in the town and area (including eating out). I picked the ones of interest to me such as visiting the thermal baths, cycling along the river and visiting the largest permanent « brocante » in France. I would highly recommend the extra excursion to the mountains and beach. Delphine included me as a member of the family and I even made a basque cake with her mother-in-law !
I would highly recommend a stay at Delphine’s to learn French, whatever level you are, as well as getting to know this special part of France. »

After two weeks of immersion with Delphine and Adrien, I would highly recommend French Bubble to anyone looking to very quickly grow in their aptitude for French and their ability to use the language in everyday situations. I entered the program as an A2 beginner, having taken some classes in high school and dabbling a bit since then; I was very pleasantly surprised when after only a few days I was more comfortable speaking to native French people and in forming full thoughts than I had ever been before. The program is ideal for practical understanding of the French language and common-sense application of both simple and more complex grammatical concepts. Whether you are just beginning as I was or are more advanced, I am sure you will not regret the decision to try immersion with French Bubble. And aside from the language aspect, my time with Delphine and Adrien was fantastic! From the very beginning Delphine was accommodating of my schedule and the things I wanted to do while in Pau, and she went out of her way many times to ensure that my stay and experience were overwhelmingly positive. From the excursions to the beaches of Biarritz and Hossegor to the weekend seeing Medieval castles around Carcassonne and the constant trying of world-class foods and wines, I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a unique and wonderfully fulfilling time in France!
