This experience was a boost to my speaking confidence
I had a truly marvelous week in May 2023 improving my French with Thomas.
Getting here was an easy train ride from Paris. The private apartment he and his family provide is comfortable and charming, in a beautiful riverside location.
Thomas is a diligent instructor, tailoring lessons to one’s individual needs. Each day was a combination of morning lessons and afternoon excursions into the beautiful, historical part of France where he and his family live, practicing the language as I learned some of the history and delicious food and wine traditions of Alsace. Getting acquainted with Thomas’ family during the week gave me additional opportunities to converse in French. His dad even told me he could see improvement in my conversation by the end of the week. Thomas put a lot of energy into making it a very positive learning experience.
I finished the week feeling more confident in my speaking ability as I continued traveling in France for another ten days before returning to the States. I still have a lot of work to do to refine my language ability yet this experience was a boost to my speaking confidence and got me back on track toward my language learning goals. The whole experience was enriching in so many ways! I plan to continue using Thomas’ high quality online learning materials.
Thank you, Thomas and family for a cherished experience!
I loved my week there so much!!!
I can’t say enough good things about my homestay with Thomas. I loved my week there so much!!! Thomas is a very kind, generous, and thoughtful host who did everything he could to ensure I would have an amazing week. I loved all of our excursions, especially to the beautiful Alsace villages nearby and to the mountains to walk through the trenches and caves used by WWI soldiers.
Thomas is such a fun person to spend the day with–we certainly laughed a lot and there was never a boring moment. He tailored his lessons to my personal needs and interests, and he even made a book for me which included pictures, vocabulary, and grammar that we discussed during my week there. The book is one of my most treasured souvenirs ever.
Unfortunately I was not able to spend time with Thomas’ family as they were getting over Covid, but I did meet his wife and she was delightful also. The gite where I stayed was beautiful, and the owner of the gite was also very kind and welcoming.
I know that anyone who does this immersion will have the time of their life in one of the most beautiful areas of the world, all while practicing and improving their French. I will be forever grateful to Thomas for taking such good care of me while I was there and for allowing me to experience a truly extraordinary week in the Alsace.
I highly recommend Thomas’ French immersion
I spent a week of French immersion with Thomas. I already had 4 semesters of French in college. By the end of the week I felt a remarkable improvement in my understanding and ability to speak French.
Thomas was an excellent teacher . He tailored the studies to my need. He is vary kind and concerned person. I went on memorable visits in Alsace and had excellent breakfasts and some wonderful Alsatian meals at his house cooked by his lovely wife. He made me feel at home.
I highly recommend Thomas’ French immersion.
J’ai beaucoup apprécié le homestay
Merci Thomas.
J’ai beaucoup apprécié le homestay. C’était vraiment amusant et nous avons visité des sites géniaux. Mon français s’est amélioré et j’ai trouvé la cuisine et les activités idéales pour pratiquer vocabulaires différents.
On s’entendait super bien et je recommanderais à tout le monde qui est jeune et qui peut-être a un peu peur de passer une semaine avec quelqu’un que tu ne connais pas de venir chez lui, tu vas l’aimer beaucoup !
Je tiens à vous remercier pour le travail incroyable que vous faites
J’ai vraiment apprécié les 7 vidéos, elles étaient super. Je suis également abonné à votre chaîne YouTube, que j’adore. Je tiens à vous remercier pour le travail incroyable que vous faites.
Thank you Thomas for giving me the inspiration I needed
I have recently watched the videos,7 Secrets pour Apprendre le Français and also read the transcripts. Thomas’s passion for teaching the beautiful French language is infectious, I now feel so motivated to learn how to speak French and I know with Thomas’s excellent videos, I CAN do it and I WILL!
Thank you Thomas for giving me the inspiration I needed (I should now say merci beaucoup).
Je recommande sa méthode
J’ai récemment fait le cours « Les sept secrets pour apprendre le français ». Je l’ai trouvé très intéressant parce que Thomas donne des informations avec une base scientifique. J’aime bien ses vidéos. Je les utilise avec mes élèves. Je recommande sa méthode.
J’ai appris tant de choses grâce à vous
Merci Thomas, j’ai appris tant de choses grâce à vous, et j’ai amélioré mon français en écoutant vos podcasts, surtout le série de secrets du français.
Merci encore une fois
pour ces efforts.
J’espère que je pourrai participer à la « Homestay » à l’avenir
J’ai vraiment apprécié le cours gratuit de 7 jours et j’adore les vidéos d’Immersion Français sur YouTube. Je trouve que l’esprit vif de Thomas et l’amour de Thomas pour la langue rendent l’expérience si agréable et la matière est remplie de bonnes idées et de suggestions. J’espère que je pourrai participer à la « Homestay » à l’avenir. Il semble merveilleux et exactement le genre d’expérience d’immersion dont j’ai rêvé.
