Learn French & Stay at Your Teacher’s House (Near Paris)

I recently spent a five day french immersion week at the home of Georgiana Maes Onesim. It was a wonderful experience and I improved my french language knowledge quite a bit for such a short time. She was able to quickly adjust her teaching style to my particular needs as I was not a typical french learner. Moreover her family is an additional joy to pass time with and her cooking is excellent! Her home is easily accessed from Paris by train in less than an hour and quite close to Versailles. Many reasons to choose her immersion program if you are looking to improve your french language skills.

Excellent Teaching Tailored to Individual Needs Georgiana is an excellent teacher who tailors her lessons to the language study needs of her students. She is professional and very patient. I spent an enjoyable and productive week with her in her lovely home. My focus was on verb tenses, and we worked on those, while placing them in the context of subjects I am interested in, such as art and film. Comfortable and Private Accommodations The accommodations are very comfortable, quiet, and private, with a separate entrance. Delicious Meals and Warm Hospitality I had lunch and dinner with Georgiana each day, joined from time to time by her charming husband and delightful twins. The meals were delicious, and I appreciated the focus on fresh, local, and organic (bio) ingredients. Excursions and Cultural Exploration Our excursions to châteaux and museums in the beautiful Chevreuse Valley region were interesting and fun, and our continuing conversations helped me feel more and more confident in my ability to speak French. Highly Recommended Immersion Experience I can recommend an immersion stay with Georgiana without any hesitation. She is an exceptional teacher.

A Rich and Immersive Experience I had the most enriching experience with Georgiana for my French Immersion Homestay. Initial Concerns and Supportive Teaching At first, I was a bit worried because my French is really basic, and I was only spending six days for this experience. However, Georgiana is a very experienced and patient teacher, and she tailored the lessons to my abilities and my goal of improving my speaking skills. Her methods are rigorous and creative, making the lessons interesting and dynamic. A Caring Family and Enriching Conversations Moreover, the whole family was genuinely interested in helping me improve my French, and we had wonderful conversations during meals and activities we shared together. Delicious and Thoughtful Cuisine Speaking of which, the food at Georgiana’s is sensational, always prepared with fresh ingredients and with care and attention that you can taste! Comfortable and Welcoming Accommodation The accommodation is superb: a private and spacious studio with a kitchen and bathroom separate from the bedroom, and access to a beautiful garden. A Desire to Return and Continue Improving I returned home inspired to continue improving my French and to do another (longer!) immersion with Georgiana and her lovely family in the near future.
