In 2025, Michele came from the United States to improve her French in Oaxaca. Watch and read how this immersive experience impacted her language learning journey.
The French immersion in Oaxaca was a dream come true. I wanted to improve my comfort and fluency in French as much and as fast as possible, I was eager to experience the magic of Oaxaca, and I love exercise, though not in a gym. Simon provided everything I wanted: constant immersion with the frequency and type of correction I needed and requested, expert guidance in experiencing the culture, history, and incredibly interesting and delicious food of Oaxaca, and a bike adventure and hikes tailored to my physical condition and interest.
Simon is also an incredibly awesome active listener whose facilitation of both deep and light conversation improved my listening comprehension along with my oral expression. In addition, his proficiency in Spanish and intimate acquaintance with Oaxaca helped me feel safe and secure personally as well as significantly more fluent in French.
I would love to do another French immersion in Oaxaca.
