France itinérante - Rive Ouest
Are you between 17 and 23 years old and would like to improve your French in a really fun way? Are you too old for a normal Roeland camp? No worries, as we have the ideal solution for you!
Discover a region of France in an active way, together with a small group of people. We combine culture, pleasure and gastronomy in ‘la douce France’. During the five-day trip you have ample opportunity to practice and improve your French, get to make fantastic new friends and discover all the beauty that France has to offer.
Activities
An experienced coach will lead a small group of 8 enthusiastic people on a journey of discovery through France in a minibus. Every day, you will discover another town or village, a nature reserve, a park or something else equally exciting.
Of course, you can't travel through France on an empty stomach: you will make frequent stops at cosy bistros, little cafés or fine restaurants, allowing you to try the local specialities. You will stay at a different place every night.
The Roeland coach will propose various recreational activities, but will also give you the time to discover the places you visit yourself. Thanks to the applied language moments you will become more fluent in French, will improve your vocabulary and, most importantly, you will boost your confidence with the language. It will be an unforgettable experience!
Note 1: To fully benefit from this trip, you need a basic level of French and a good level of motivation. All the conversations on the trip will be in French.
Note 2: Each route has a "code name", so that the destination remains a surprise until you get there!
Experience Camps – full immersion
A language is only truly learnt by experiencing it. This is the approach that anchors our Experience Camps. There is less of a focus on language workshops. Instead, we will refine your proficiency through a variety of activities in the target language. Led by our group leaders, you will be holding debates, exploring a city, learning a new (adventurous) sport, or letting your creative side go wild – all in the target language. This also means that it is important that participants already have a basic knowledge of the language. We expect you to be able to understand simple conversations and instructions without much effort and to talk about day-to-day topics (talking about yourself, expressing your feelings, asking simple questions). Although these camps feature fewer (or no) language workshops, our group leaders remain focused on helping you to improve your skills and express yourself better in the target language.
