" Juillet 2022

Ruth : "Je suis très heureuse d'avoir Géraldine comme enseignante. Elle est professionnelle, patiente et gentille.

I cannot recommend Geraldine's French immersion program highly enough. The combination of exceptional instruction and a beautiful setting makes this experience truly remarkable. Geraldine is an outstanding teacher and a delightful person to learn from. If you're considering French immersion options, I wholeheartedly encourage you to choose Geraldine.

French Instruction:

When I arrived in Provence, my French was limited to "bonjour" and "au revoir." Geraldine's teaching style was both patient and ambitious. She created a warm environment where I never felt self-conscious about my abilities. She knew how to challenge me while also recognizing when to slow down and elaborate, ensuring I could fully grasp each lesson. Her passion for teaching shines through, and her lessons were meticulously tailored to meet my needs. The balance of individual study and guided instruction was perfect, and the materials she provided were both demanding and accessible. The online interactive components are a fantastic resource for continued learning after the program ends.

Geraldine's approach is diverse, with invaluable instruction extending beyond the classroom. Our study program included guided tours of local sites, where Geraldine's deep knowledge of Provençal culture and history enriched my experience. I left La Roquebrussanne with a newfound appreciation for both the language and the culture that will inform my studies moving forward.

Lodging, Village, and Food:

Geraldine's home is a charming and comfortable retreat. The guest room offers privacy and a lovely terrace with stunning views of the countryside. Her home is conveniently located in a quaint village, close to essential amenities and restaurants, as well as scenic hiking trails. Geraldine's family is incredibly welcoming, making interactions a joy. Meal times were not only a delicious exploration of Provençal cuisine but also invaluable opportunities to practice language skills and expand my vocabulary. Beyond being an exceptional instructor, Geraldine is an extraordinary cook, eager to share her culinary expertise.

In conclusion, it's hard to fully express how special Geraldine is as both an instructor and a person. The setting and experience exceeded my already high expectations in every way. I am deeply grateful for this immersive journey, which has not only improved my language skills but also enriched my understanding of the culture. I cannot wait to apply what I've learned!

J'ai passé 1 semaine chez Géraldine et c'était super! Le meilleur choix que j'aurais pu faire.

La maison est incroyable, le village du Roquebrussanne est très mignon, et Géraldine est une personne très sympa et à créé un programme extraordinaire pour moi. Et les repas et le vin étaient très bons aussi ?

Le deuxième jour, mon français était courant et nous avons travaillé sur des problèmes plus grammaticaux.  Depuis, je suis enfin confiant pour parler.

My week-long immersion with Géraldine in her lovely home in Provence was even better than I imagined. This is my second attempt at learning French. Like many, I spent my junior year of college in Paris. After this time, life got in the way, and I made little to no effort. Flash forward 30 years, and I decided to re-learn the language during the pandemic, simply for the pleasure of it. This is when I found Géraldine and her immersion course. She and I began working together on my French via italkie in the 6 months prior to the immersion. 

My stay with Géraldine was filled with so many memorable moments, all personalized to my interests AND all while speaking French: a delicious picnic during a hike, a coffee at a cafe in her charming village of La Roquebrusssanne, a visit to a local cheese farm, a morning hike up to the cave of Marie-Madeleine in the nearby mountains, a moving theater piece in Marseille one evening, a long lunch with Géraldine and her friends on the Mediterranean Sea, a tour of Aix-en-Provence including a stroll with a view of the famous Mont Sainte-Victoire which Cézanne painted, a drink with her charming parents one evening, ETC.

Géraldine is a very experienced, patient and encouraging French teacher. She understands when and how to make corrections and give guidance on improving your language skills. In addition, she is a knowledgeable guide of Provence, a wonderful host and healthy cook, and a truly interesting person who has taught in numerous countries around the world. 

I will be back!

My 12-year-old daughter and I spent 10 days at Geraldine's home.  Geraldine had a very enjoyable and well thought out program prepared for us. She catered to our personal preferences and language proficiency levels. We went on outings on most days, which included getting familiar with Roquebrussane, having real-life situations such as buying items at the local pharmacy and supermarket and going food shopping at the weekend-outdoor market in a nearby village, as well as touring other towns such as Aix-en-Provence, Hyères, Toulon and Marseille.  Geraldine found exciting and unique activities for us. At Roquebrussane, we participated in a guided tour of the local goat cheese factory, which included a hike to meet the goats "en-personne", a picnic in the mountain, and a visit to the factory.  We had a lot of opportunities to integrate with other tour members, all native French speakers.  In Marseille, we were guests at the "mise en scene" of cooking Marseille's most typical dish, the Bouillabaisse, performed by a chef and a musician, it was a magical night.  Geraldine is a creative teacher, effective and extremely well-organized. She also provided an enriching program for my 12 year old daughter. Geraldine organized several private lessons focused on grammar and structure while keeping it light with games and activities that she loved.  We felt at home with Geraldine's warmth and kindness and spoiled with her healthy, tasty and generous meals.  Her house is beautiful and our accommodations were spacious, comfortable and private. Her lovely family was very welcoming, we ate and played fun table games together on the days that they were around.  She also taught us how to play a fun outdoor game called Petanque.  Geraldine's program was our introduction to life in France and part of a larger trip to improve our language skills.  My daughter and I felt that our stay at Geraldine's prepared us very well, both linguistically and culturally, to continue our French-language learning journey.  We also got valuable advice from Geraldine for our travels in the South of France.  The program was truly immersive.  Although she is fluent in English, during our time there we only spoke french.  We felt extremely fortunate to have landed in such an extraordinary program and home with an excellent teacher and person like Geraldine.

I had been looking for an immersion programm for a long time.  Finally, I fund my way to Roquebrussanne. What a wonderful experience for me. Géraldine and her lovely family took good care of me. I quicly became a member of the family. Géraldine was patient and very supportive in bringing me to a new level of french. The whole family helped me.  During my stay, I had precious experiences and I learned a lot about French culture and the art of living. It's an unforgettable time for me. Thank you Géraldine.

I was already residing in France and had a reasonable level of French proficiency. However, my progress was hitting plateau as I had no apparent objectives but to be able to communicate better in French. In the end, I decided to take DALF C1 exam in order to have a bit more structure in my learning. Although it was a last-minute decision, my host teacher, Geraldine had supported me and dedicated so much of her time and shared with me her wealth of knowledge. (and I did pass my C1 exam!).  Although I was already living locally, I actually had experienced the French culture and enjoyed the local nature and cultural activities a lot more than what I had experience in the entire year! Being introduced to the teacher’s social community, participating in outdoor activities or cultural activities together made my three-week stay a lot richer than any other language school programs or homestay experiences I’ve ever had. I have learned English, German and French in my life, and I must say that learning languages may not require home stay experience. However, I must emphasize the importance of immersing oneself in the local life in order to really understand the language at deeper level. This would accelerate the linguistic progress dramatically, especially at advanced level. 

J'ai passé un séjour parfait. Géraldine et sa famille étaient super !

J'ai eu une très bonne expérience chez Géraldine. Vous ne trouverez pas de meilleur professeur qu'elle. Elle est très ouverte, parle clairement, lentement et prend le temps de tout expliquer. J'étais une vraie débutante mais après une semaine, j'ai remarqué que je m'étais beaucoup améliorée. La maison est charmante, la chambre super confortable et les repas sont délicieux. La famille, Fred et les garçons sont très sympas aussi. Récemment, Géraldine m'a aidé à passer mon examen DELF B1 en décembre 2021 avec les cours de zoom. Honnêtement, c'est un très bon professeur que je recommande sans réserve.
