Frequently asked questions

From complete beginners to very advanced learners, I offer a programme tailored to your needs. It is a tailor-made stay that lets you build your skills and put them into practice in real situations with native speakers.

It takes a few days to settle into an intensive learning rhythm and start feeling the benefits. From two weeks on, the effects are tangible, and the well-known 21-day mark for forming new habits applies here too.

We are not a language school: we offer language immersion stays in our own home. You come whenever you like, for one week, two weeks or more, depending on your goal.

Pascal is a qualified French teacher with extensive experience, and he supports many learners preparing for the DALF or DELF or working towards professional goals. You can also continue with online lessons with Pascal after your stay, right up to the exam, to give yourself every chance of success.

You progress much faster and more effectively during an immersion stay than in a language school, where classes are large, everyone follows the same lessons whatever their level, and you get far less speaking time.

After an initial assessment, a programme of lessons and varied real-life situations helps you reach learning goals set clearly in advance. You progress step by step, at your own pace.

Every stay is tailored to the learner, but a typical day goes like this:

– In the morning, 2 hours of lessons with Pascal (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation…), then 1 hour on a cultural audio or video topic to work on listening comprehension.

– At lunchtime we eat together and keep speaking French over the meal.

– In the afternoon, a cultural outing or a hands-on or personal-development activity, still aimed at improving your French, but in a relaxed and enjoyable way.

– In the evening we have dinner together and the conversation goes on.

During your stay we take care of everything: a complimentary pick-up at the station or airport, meals, outings, etc.

No, you book your own journey to Nantes, and Pascal will pick you up at the nearest station or airport.

No, you need to complete your own visa formalities.

Our tours of the region and cultural walks are offered as a friendly courtesy. If paid admissions (museums, monuments) or local transport tickets are needed during outings, they are paid by the student alone, directly on site.
