I have been telling friends that the experience was really helpful, mostly thanks to you and Astrid being at our sides when on walks or at lunch because you encouraged the use of French by speaking slowly and listening. While traveling I try my French with natives, but I often feel like I am wasting the time of a server/shopkeeper/tourist office worker so we switch to English. But in the group, especially at lunches, we had the time to gather thoughts and speak (no matter how badly) because you both were so good at listening and making us feel welcome to try.

I think for a first immersive experience this was perfect — fun and not too demanding, and very accepting/welcoming. And this particular group of people was just wonderful, a real pleasure to spend the week with. Alice, I love and appreciate your demeanor and would love to do another, more intensive immersion with you.

Judy

I had a great time despite knowing less French than everyone else. What a lovely group! And fun lessons.

Carolyn

It was an amazing week that inspired me to adjust my approach to learning French – consistency and making time daily is so important. Merci beaucoup for everything!!!

Meryl

The manner in which I felt my French improve was I was able to recognize the kinds of errors I make when I speak. This type of breakthrough is such a helpful improvement for me, because I can continue to pay attention and refine on my own.
Furthermore, I did appreciate all the ways this week integrated oral comprehension (comprehensible input). This was incredible on many levels. Lastly, while I’m sure being “on” all the time for you, Alice, is exhausting, in reality, it is your creativity, innovative method for making everyone feel comfortable, your accessibility, encouragement, and acceptance that made this a fantastic week. I cannot forget to also remark at the many ways Astrid was a complement to the experience as well. Her contributions emphasized the quality of this immersion.

I would absolutely love it, if you would consider it again. Many, many thanks !!! (three magical exclamation points)
