Language study program: 1 teacher per student

1. With the family of your Indigenous teacher, selected by our local organizers. Learn how families are selected.
2. Families living in residential neighborhoods.

Choose between: 1 or 2 participants per family (depending on the location)

On a guided tour of England, participants can choose to be the only French speaker in their host family or to be placed with another French person ( who could, of course, be a friend or relative) with whom they will attend classes. This latter option will make it easier for them to adjust to their new environment.

In the U.S., Canada, Spain, Germany, England, Ireland, and Malta, when traveling independently, the young person must be the only French person in their host family.

   1. 2 or 3 hours of private lessons per day in England, including a guided tour.
