Item Description
Claudine Alberti has been teaching French as a foreign language since 1987 in France, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Japan. She has a BA from the University of Besançon and a Masters in Teaching French from Rouen. Claudine herself is multilingual (English, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish). She operates a successful immersion program in a charming village in Burgundy, where she offers weeklong one-on-one immersion language lessons. The Alliance has referred a number of students to her program in Burgundy, and all recommend it highly.
The winning bidder (one person) will enjoy three days of Claudine's one-on-one immersion program located in the village of Montbard, just an hour by TGV from Paris. Says Claudine: "Immersion in a little French town means living French culture on a daily basis, and getting to know a region well by experiencing its rhythms and seasons." Your home base will be your own private apartment for guest students in Alberti's home, located on the grounds of a renovated nunnery.
This three-day program is open to French learners at all levels, from beginners to advanced.
Day 1 - Arrival in the morning. Three hours of one-on-one lessons in the morning and a local tour in the afternoon. Lunch and dinner provided. Overnight lodging in the private apartment.
Day 2 - Breakfast and lunch, three hours of morning lessons, followed by an afternoon tour of local sites of interest. Dinner on your own. Overnight lodging in the private apartment.
Day 3 - Breakfast and lunch, three hours of morning lessons; late afternoon departure.
To be arranged for a mutually agreeable date with the donor, check out Claudine's reservations page for possibilities. You can reserve for 2019 or 2020 - make sure to arrange well in advance, because Claudine books up very early. She has limited availability in 2019 but plenty of availability in 2020. In any event, make sure to use this three-day program no later than April of 2021.
The winning bidder is welcome to arrange in advance to extend their immersion program by a few days or weeks, at their own cost, and depending on Alberti's availability.
(The winning bidder would normally do this program solo, but could bring along a non-French-learning partner at an additional cost of 40 euros per day.)
