Welcome to French Bubble immersion program !
Come, learn French or boost your skills while visiting a beautiful French region !
I’m Delphine your French teacher, and I, with my companion Adrien, welcome you to an immersion language stay in Pau, a city on a human scale in the south-west of France.
Your immersion stay :
Become French for one, two, or three weeks. Immersion offers you a unique opportunity to
discover French culture from within, in your teacher’s family. I will be here to offer you tailor-
made private lessons adapted to your level, your project, your needs and your tastes. During
your stay, you will still have your independence in a comfortable apartment close to all
amenities in the same building as your teacher’s home.
Pau, an ideal destination for your immersion
Between sea and mountains, Pau is a dynamic city ideally located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pyrenees. It is easy to reach thanks to its airport and its train station. No matter what the season you arrive, it is an ideal experience all year round !
You’ll enjoy a stay in a region with strong tourist potential while improving your French. It is classified as a city of art and history, home to the castle where King Henry !V was born which is now a national museum.
Why choose to learn French in an immersion program ?
Immersion is a most effective way to improve your foreign language skills. It allows you to learn and practice the language in context, through daily activities while you are in real
communication situations with native speakers. In addition to the courses, you will have many
opportunities to interact with merchants, restauranteurs, tourism professionals and others
during visits and excursions. Being immersed in a French speaking universe for the whole of
your stay, you will find yourself progressing more quickly than you even imagined. Your understanding of the spoken language will evolve repidly : most of the time students see real
progress after only a two or three days ! They gain confidence and autonomy which puts them
in a position to experience success and which motivates them to continue their learning of French.
Who is this for?
Whatever your desires, your language goals and your current level, I adapt to create a tailor-
made immersion stay program ! Even if you are a beginner, do not hesitate : all levels are welcome ! I am convinced that the best way to learn is to face real and concrete communication situations. Private French lessons will be adapted to your level and your needs
(personal, professional, diploma preparation, expatriation). We will define your project together before your actual arrival.
You have been learning French for several years and you feel that you are stuck, that you have stopped progressing ? Try a different appproach from books or classroooms ! The immersion I am proposing is individualized ; you will be my only student during the courses so the content will match your needs. The time spent practicing French is substantial : in addition to class time, you willl have many opportunities to talk with native speakers, watch movies, read and interact.
A week of immersion allows you to speak French for 35 hours of more. For some, this represents a year of practical training with traditional apprenticeship ! You will also have a great advantage : practicing today’s spoken French, at times far from the frozen language you may have been confronted with (old methods or lack of oral practice for example).
” 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.” Joshua, Alabama, july 2024
