French Immersion Courses
For more than 10 years French Immersion Courses with Language In Provence have been enormously popular with learners of all language levels, ages and nationalities. Small groups of maximum 4 students, a supportive environment and excellent experienced teachers contribute to the success of these courses.
As well as small group immersion courses we also offer one-to-one (individual) French immersion courses for adults based on the learner's personal requirements.

Which level to choose?
- Level 1 - a confidence-building course for learners with limited language skills focusing on conversation. Topics include shopping, social situations (weather, health, sport, travel, holiday, personal information) and making simple arrangements. (European Framework A1)
- Level 2 - aimed at the intermediate learner, this course encourages the student to communicate more fluently with native speakers, to be able to discuss a wide range of topics and handle many areas of grammar more confidently and accurately. (European Framework A2/B1)
- Level 3 - for the more advanced student this course explores in more depth many aspects of the French language, its uses in modern contexts, changes in vocabulary and usage and advanced discussions. (European Framework B2/C1)
Our teachers use a communicative approach to language teaching with a significant focus on the spoken language and communication of ideas. The study of grammar and vocabulary will of course be included but will be taught within a context. Please throw away any pre-conceived notions about recital of irregular verbs!
