So have you ever heard of the phrase: “the struggle is real”? Especially when it comes to learning new languages, it can be really tough! It seems like the best way to learn is to immerse yourself in the culture, but most schools don’t do that! Check out the article below for more about the most effective French Immersion program and check out the video for some Struggle-free French! (This week: the verb BATTRE – to beat)

Are you nervous about immersion?

Hi, I’m your coach.

I’m the person who you wonder if she ever sleeps. Between the newsletter and the specials hot-from-the-oven, the daily videos and the FB updates, you may think that I never get any shut-eye.

Oh, but I do!

Especially this week I sleep very well – a couple of hours a night, but very, very well.

That’s because this week I’m preparing for the Immersion Retreat, and oh-là-là is there ever going to be so much fun and lots of coffee! Lots of coffee because you can’t shift to a new time zone in a single week, and you probably don’t even need to, because the days will be so eventful that, when the night comes, you’ll be crashing in your 4-star hotel bed as soon as you touch the pillow!

The mornings, however, tend to come earlier than you are used to :) And without a coffee you will probably feel like a zombie.

But then the French ‘insult’ you with baguettes and pastries and a coffee with a fragrance more heavenly than its name, so really, there’s nothing better than that first hour of the morning.

But then, you receive the schedule for the day from me, the video that I made yesterday and some awesome surprises, which makes you wonder how I knew exactly what you want to do the most in Paris!

Oh, but I know! ;)

I may need a couple of coffees to properly wake up but that has never been a problem in Paris. My favorite: café Chantilly (viennois) – I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

Between the coffees, we’ll experience Paris. Of course, each of us creates our own experience but you know that, when you go to the places you always dreamed of (or never dreamed they even existed) you know that what happens between the Parisian coffees is just as surprising, as sophisticated, and as fulfilling as the black potion brought to us from the Heavens.

I’m keeping the agenda of next week’s immersion hidden in a chest with 10 locks. This way, you’ll get to experience “from the comfort of your home” (probably the one time this phrase has a negative connotation) the adventure and surprise, the unknown and the anticipation as if you were there with me (unless you are).

You’ll receive from me the news as they unfold. You too will wake up jumping on the email to see what’s going to happen every day and wondering if I show you pictures and videos.

Oh, but I do! :)
