Helping Adults to Learn French - Naturally.
Experience French Immersions as Unique as You.
Learn to communicate in French - naturally!
Communicating in French through French language holidays for adults, French immersion activities & personal coaching. We offer curated French experiences for people that love France & want to acquire the French language, not in a classroom, but through our unique & personalised immersion plans.
Unlike Traditional Language Schools
We use the proven “natural approach” because nobody learns their first language with grammar, rules & exceptions. We learn by hearing, experiencing & then speaking - only when we’re able to communicate do we learn the rules. This is how we all learn our mother language.
Immersions that match your goals & budget
Whether you’re looking to dive deep into French history & culture, improve your CV/resume or live in France - we have created programs to match your objectives & your wallet.

Fig in France
I’m often asked “What is the difference between learning French in France versus online apps or Google Translate?” My answer: the best fig in my life will always be the fig I tasted in France. Apps can provide the French equivalent word for fig (figue), but it will not create the smile I had when I ate my first fig in France.
Je Ne Regrette Rien
For many years, I started (and usually quit) the French language programs into which I was enrolled.
The result: thousands of dollars and time wasted without progressing on my “French journey”.
Please learn from my mistakes!
The French Menu (Have No Fear)
For me, learning to navigate a French menu has been a process. I know, just seeing the words “La Carte” a few years ago would send shivers down my spine. What was I ordering? Would I make a mistake? Would I embarrass myself (my biggest fear)?

Best Way to Learn French?
The tips for learning French include listening to French audio regularly, exposing yourself to French through various mediums such as magazines and documentaries, not worrying about making mistakes when speaking French, and learning through physically engaging experiences. A combination of these techniques, along with writing and learning grammar rules, can be an effective way to learn French.
Learn French in Paris?
It's an important question: Should I learn French in Paris? One of the most asked questions that deserves some time to consider & look beyond the clichés but our simple answer is: not full-time. Why not? Simply because language learning cannot be rushed & if you're stressed because the Paris waiter is impatient with you (did you see how many tables they serve?) then your brain will "lock up". It's the same reason that lots of us get anxious as soon as the teacher tells us that we will have to read the next paragraph from the French lesson.
Choosing a French Language School
To find the right French language school in France, consider your learning style and goals. Determine if you prefer classroom or activity-based learning and if you need to obtain an accredited certification or learn conversational French quickly. Established language schools such as Accord Langues, Alliance Francaise, Berlitz, Elfe, LanguageTeams, and LSI are good options. It's also important to speak to the schools and ensure that they personalize the lessons to suit your needs and have the same teacher throughout the week. This will ensure that your learning is consistent and effective.
Learn French On-line?
Online French learning has grown rapidly with the advent of French learning apps and the pandemic forcing people to stay at home. There are many French videos, vocabulary, grammar and flashcard apps available for free on platforms like Youtube, Vimeo, Facebook, and TikTok. However, good structured content is worth paying for, and there are services like Babbel, Duolingo, FluentU, iTalki, Memrise, Pimsleur, and Preply available for those who prefer to learn French alone. Immersing oneself in physical activities in France is a better way to retain conversational French and create lasting memories. XPF offers online review sessions with an XPF guide to review photos and videos from French immersions along with new vocabulary learned.
