Looking to improve your language skills as quickly as possible? Can’t commit to a whole course session?

Intensive immersion programs offer an exciting and effective way to learn a new language. Our One Day Immersion and Intensive One Week programs immerse you in the target language, allowing you to speak, think, and even dream in it! Immersion programs emphasize practical usage and meaningful communication. Be ready for a boot camp all in French!

Here’s why they’re fantastic:

Continuous Exposure: In immersion programs, you’re constantly surrounded by the language.

Stay Current: Immersion ensures you learn the most up-to-date version of the language, including expressions and nuances that might not be found in textbooks.

Embrace Mistakes: To become fluent, you must communicate, warts and all. A fear of making mistakes won’t help—embrace the learning process!

Remember, language immersion is an adventure that opens up a whole new world of communication and cultural understanding!

Our native French speaking teachers benefit from the expertise of the Alliance Française for the most effective methods of French language instruction. Our class sizes are small (max 10-12 students) providing more opportunities for you to communicate in French, creating a lively classroom atmosphere.

If you have never taken a class with us before and have prior knowledge of French, but are not sure which level to take, we ask that you complete the written and oral sections of our placement test to ensure you enroll in the right course level.

Curious about the One Day Immersion?

We have several dates throughout the fall session on Fridays and Saturdays. Check out our class page for details.
During our one-day immersion, you get 6h of class + 1h of lunch time (lunch is provided by the French Library). The program is divided into three distinct levels: A1, A2, and B1, based on the global scale of the CECR (explanation is found just below).

Curious about the Intensive Week?

Our Intensive week program will take place on December 2 – 6, 2024.

Welcome to our intensive week program: 3h each morning for five days, focusing on oral and written comprehension, as well as oral and written production. You will study grammar, syntax, phonetics, and vocabulary in context. The program is divided into four distinct levels: A1, A2, B1, and B2, based on the global scale of the CECR.

• A1: Absolute beginner. At this level, learners can understand and use familiar and everyday expressions as well as very simple sentences to satisfy concrete needs.

• A2: Advanced beginner. Learners can understand isolated sentences and frequently used expressions in relation to immediate areas of relevance.

• B1: Intermediate. Learners can understand the essential points when clear and standard language is used and if it is about familiar things at work, at school, leisure, etc.

• B2: Advanced. At this level, learners can understand the main ideas of complex texts on concrete and abstract subjects, including technical discussions in their specialty.

These levels are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Each level has specific objectives that allow learners to progress and develop their French skills. Our intensive program is designed to help learners achieve these objectives in an effective and enjoyable way.

Our intensive French program offers several advantages:

• Rapid Progression: As the program is intensive, you can progress quickly in your learning of French. You will be able to improve your language skills in a relatively short time.

• Comprehensive Approach: The program covers all aspects of the language – oral and written comprehension, oral and written production, grammar, syntax, phonetics, and vocabulary. This gives you a complete knowledge of the French language.

• Clearly Defined Levels: With the levels A1, A2, B1, and B2, you know exactly where you are in your learning and what you need to do to move to the next level.

• Alignment with the CEFR: The levels are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which means that your level of competence will be recognized internationally.

• Intensive Interaction: Due to the intensive nature of the program, you will have many opportunities to practice French, both in class and in real-life situations.

• Confidence Improvement: By rapidly improving your French skills, you will gain confidence to use the language in your daily life, for your studies, or your work.

To sum up, our intensive week program is designed to help you master French in an effective and enjoyable way. It offers you a complete and enriching learning experience.
