A Morning of Full French Immersion

It's time to live in French! Join us for a unique half-day immersion experience designed to help you socialize, speak, discover, play, eat, and even breathe in French alongside fellow francophiles. Led by our long-time instructor Patrick, this engaging program combines cultural exploration, conversation, games, movement, and community to recreate the feeling of being on a French immersion trip without leaving Seattle.  This program is open to levels A2+/B1/B2.
