GLOBAL LANGUAGE IMMERSION PROGRAMS
We offer a wide range of individual, personalised programs to suit your needs and language objectives.
​
Programs are available for all ages and all levels. You can choose options to make your trip even more enjoyable and enriching.
How Our Immersions Work
​​​
-
You are the only student, you are completely immersed in the target language, and are treated like a family member.
-
Lessons and/or activities are personalised and the host teacher designs a program based on your objectives.
-
Outside lesson and activity hours you practise the language by sharing daily family life and through social interactions.
​
All Influent language immersion programs include
​​
-
An individual bedroom in the comfortable home of a carefully selected host who has satisfied the most stringent recruitment criteria and home-quality inspections
-
3 meals per day with the host/family
-
Access to a Regional Manager who is always on hand for any questions or issues that may arise during the stay
-
A 24-hour helpline
-
A progress report at the end of the language program
Home Tuition Program
​It is the most effective way to make rapid progress: you live with your teacher who will give you private language lessons and correct you at all times. Our home tuition program completely immerses you in the language you are learning as you put into practice what you have learnt during your lessons through social interactions and mealtimes with your host/family.
The program includes:
​
-
10*, 15, 20, 25 or 30 hours of private language lessons per week
-
Accommodation in the teacher's home
-
Meals and social interaction with the host/family
*10 hours are possible when combined with General Activities and/or Cultural Visits and/or Farm Activities.
Stays are from Sunday to Saturday and are available all year round
Key details:
​
-
A language test is taken before the start of the program to determine your level
-
The course schedule is established with the teacher, and the program is entirely adapted to your needs: grammar, conversation, comprehension… Lessons usually take place on mornings, leaving afternoons free for leisure activities and social interaction.
-
A placement test at the end of the stay enables you to evaluate progress.
-
A Teacher's Report is provided, and a Certificate of Attendance is available, on request.
The Home Tuition Program can be personalised with Leisure Options. These are compulsory for all students under 18 years old, and recommended for participants of all ages to ensure the best language immersion experience.

SHARED PROGRAMS
Duo Shared Program
Share your immersion program with a friend or relative. If you require lessons you should be of the same language level.
You share the lessons and/or activities and usually share a bedroom.
You each benefit from a 20% discount.
Family Immersion Shared Program
If you wish to go with your child, parent or friend on his or her full immersion program, without booking lessons yourself, this can be arranged.
