“Rester avec Thomas et Ingrid était une pure forme de belles vacances. C’est sont les gens très sympas! Le matin, j’allais avec Thomas à la boulangerie acheter du pain, et les petits déjeuners avec toute la famille étaient l’occasion d’échanger. Vous pouvez organiser votre programme de séjour avec Thomas avant votre arrivée, mais je souhaitais voir les possibilités sur place, rencontrer la famille de Thomas, les voisins, etc. Tout ce que Thomas propose dans la vidéo devient réalité pendant le séjour. Je suis ravi et j’y retournerai certainement. Je le recommande vivement à tous les amoureux de la langue française.” — Gosha, Poland

Our Unique Methodology at Français Immersion
At Français Immersion, we specialize in crafting fully immersive French language experiences, guided by Thomas, a YouTuber and the founder of the program. Since 2022, Thomas has designed language stays that are completely tailored to each participant, allowing for true cultural and linguistic immersion. Our methodology goes beyond traditional learning—it’s about living the language every day.
Scientific Foundations Behind Our Methodology
Our approach to language learning is grounded in the latest research from prominent psychologists and linguists. We believe in using evidence-based methods to create the most effective and stress-free immersion experience possible.
1. Lev Vygotsky – Sociocultural Theory of Learning
Vygotsky’s theory emphasizes the importance of social interaction in language learning. According to his research, language development occurs most effectively when learners are engaged in meaningful conversations and activities within their cultural context. This is the foundation of our immersive approach: using real-world conversations and experiences to develop language skills in context, not just in a classroom.
2. Jean Piaget – Constructivist Learning Theory
Piaget’s theory of constructivism suggests that learners develop their understanding of the world through active, hands-on experiences. Learning is most effective when it involves direct interaction with the environment and is connected to real-world situations. In our program, this means that every activity—from walking around a French town to cooking a meal with locals—is designed to help you learn through experience, not just theory.
3. John Hattie – Cognitive Load Theory
Hattie’s research on cognitive load highlights that learners perform better in environments that reduce unnecessary stress and anxiety. His work shows that when learners are not overwhelmed, they can focus more effectively and retain more information. This is a key element of our methodology, as we focus on providing an immersive, supportive, and low-pressure environment where you can learn without the fear of making mistakes.
4. Richard E. Mayer – Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning
Mayer’s theory suggests that learning is enhanced when information is presented in multiple formats (visual, auditory, etc.) and when learners engage with material actively. This is why our immersion experience includes a combination of speaking, listening, reading, writing, and even drawing and taking photos in your personal Immersion Journal, all of which help reinforce learning and enhance memory retention.
How Français Immersion Puts These Theories Into Practice
1. Social Interaction and Real-World Context
Drawing on Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory, our method immerses you in the language through real-life social interactions. You will practice French with locals in cafés, markets, and daily life situations. This ensures that the language you’re learning is immediately applicable and relevant to your environment.
2. Active, Hands-On Learning
Following Piaget’s constructivist approach, Français Immersion encourages active learning. You won’t just study vocabulary in a book—you will use the language in practical situations, such as cooking a traditional French meal, hiking in the countryside, or exploring a historical site. These hands-on activities allow you to experience the language in a context that is memorable and meaningful.
3. Creating a Low-Stress, Confidence-Building Environment
As John Hattie‘s research shows, reducing stress is key to better learning outcomes. Before your immersion trip, you will have a one-on-one pre-trip session with Thomas, your coach and guide. This session helps break the ice and reduces the anxiety often felt when speaking to strangers in a foreign language. By the time you arrive, you’ll already feel comfortable and familiar with Thomas, which significantly lowers the stress and anxiety associated with speaking French.
4. Engagement Through Multiple Learning Formats
Inspired by Richard E. Mayer’s cognitive theory, our immersion experience incorporates various methods of learning. In addition to speaking and listening to French, you will create your own Immersion Journal, a personal travel diary where you can jot down new vocabulary, write down expressions, draw pictures, and even add photos. This interactive journal enhances your ability to remember new words and grammar rules by engaging multiple senses and reinforcing what you’ve learned through active engagement.
The Power of the Immersion Journal
An essential part of the Français Immersion experience is the Immersion Journal—a personalized travel diary created by you and Thomas. Throughout your stay, you’ll collect new vocabulary, useful expressions, and even quirky phrases learned in context. This journal is a creative space for you to jot down notes, draw pictures, paste photos, and reflect on the moments of discovery during your immersion. Whether it’s a grammar rule you’ve just mastered, a new idiom that made you laugh, or a memorable conversation with a local, this journal becomes a unique record of your language journey.
By writing down and reflecting on what you learn, you’re not only reinforcing your memory but also connecting emotionally to the language. This method has been proven to improve long-term retention of language skills.
Thomas’ Personalized Guidance
As your guide, Thomas brings years of experience in creating personalized immersion stays. His in-depth understanding of language learning allows him to adapt the program to meet your specific goals. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your fluency, he will support you every step of the way.
Achieving Your French Goals – No Pressure
For those who wish to reach an official level of proficiency, Français Immersion has already helped hundreds of students achieve their DELF or DALF certifications. However, we also recognize that language exams can serve as a powerful source of motivation for many learners, providing them with clear goals and a sense of achievement. According to Deci and Ryan’s Self-Determination Theory, setting specific, challenging goals can enhance intrinsic motivation, helping learners stay engaged and committed to their learning journey.
That said, if your goal is not to pursue a formal qualification, there is no need to place unnecessary pressure on yourself. The most important thing is to enjoy the process of learning French in a relaxed, stress-free environment. Language learning should be a fun, natural experience, not one that feels overwhelming.
At Français Immersion, our priority is to ensure you have an unforgettable experience where the focus is on enjoying each moment, embracing French culture, and practicing the language in authentic, real-life situations. No exams, no stress—just pure enjoyment as you improve your French skills in the best possible setting.
Why Choose Français Immersion?
If you’re seeking a unique, tailored experience that prioritizes real-world language acquisition, you’re in the right place. Our immersion program is designed for those who want to break away from conventional methods and truly live the language. No classrooms, no group lessons—just a personalized journey in the heart of French culture.
