Learn french in Toulouse with Gaelle

Hello everyone!

Whether you are alone or with someone, I look forward to meeting you: I love having visitors and meeting lovely people from around the world. My name is Gaëlle and I am a former literature teacher in the national education system, now retrained as a French teacher for foreigners. I speak French and English and have some knowledge of Spanish and German.

I enjoy hosting friends, doing sports (yoga, tennis, ping-pong, cycling, dancing, etc.), walking in beautiful places, organizing picnics by the Garonne River, biking along the canal, going dancing in bars, or simply lounging on...

I am a former certified teacher of the national education system in Modern Literature and I also hold a master's degree in FLE (French as a Foreign Language). I have taught in very diverse environments; in France in middle and high schools, as well as in language schools and organizations welcoming migrants, abroad as well in high schools (Scotland, USA).
My master's thesis focused on immersion in the French language through the arts. Thus, I love to combine language courses with cultural discovery, whether it's through the study of paintings, films, literature (novels, comics), songs...
A language stay is also an opportunity to put the lessons into practice: working on shopping vocabulary by going to the market, art vocabulary by visiting a museum, learning culinary vocabulary while cooking...
We will define the program together: exam preparation, discovering French culture, improving language skills, perfecting accent, or simply acquiring some basics in French for everyday communication. I propose a B&B and no half board to give us more freedom. However, we can share meals from time to time: we will then share the grocery costs. Restaurants, train tickets to travel to other cities, drinks in bars, entrance tickets for cultural activities... Everything spent on leisure is not included in the price of the stay.

Full Immersion Guaranteed

The host family optionally guarantees that there will be no other people speaking the same language during the stay.

Life with your host family

I propose one activity per day in addition to the French classes (if you wish to benefit from it).

Here are some possibilities:

- Cultural visit of Toulouse during the day
- Picnic by the Garonne River
- Sport of your choice: yoga, tennis, ping-pong, cycling by the canal
- Toulouse by night: restaurant, bars, concert, theater play, cinema...
- Day trip outside of Toulouse: by the river in Rabastens, visit of the city of Carcassonne, Albi...
- Games (some of which can be focused on learning Fre...
