Program Overview

Get ready for an epic 7-day immersion in the vibrant city of Oaxaca!

For a full week, it’s just you and me, speaking nothing but French from 9am to 6pm every day. We’ll jump into exciting cultural activities and outdoor sports, exploring Oaxaca’s city vibe and its breathtaking surroundings. Every day, we’ll kick off with breakfast at local cafés and refuel with lunch at fantastic restaurants.

This immersion is all about results: level up your speaking and listening, build confidence, supercharge your fluency and spontaneity, and grow your vocabulary. With over 70 hours of full engagement, you’ll be using French more than ever before — and that kind of consistent, real-world practice leads to real, lasting progress.
