- A deep commitment to rapid mastery: Some of our learners choose Total Immersion out of sheer passion for the French language, wanting a solid command without professional constraints. This program is the perfect answer to this thirst for intensive learning.
- Maximized learning time: With 35 hours of face-to-face lessons per week, you benefit from maximum exposure to the French language, promoting rapid and effective assimilation. The ‘active lunch’ is an additional opportunity for informal exchanges and practical application in a convivial setting.
