I am looking for a French immersion course in france or an inventive way to learn the language cheaply?
I am looking to learn French in France but because I cannot afford the price of immersion courses, I was wondering if someone could suggest a good alternative ie working for my course, such as voluntary work or a home-stay, teaching english. I am a complete beginner at the language so, I would like to spend significant amount of time there to really accustom to the language. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
When I was 17 I went and spent a summer working on a fruit farm near Saumur, living with all the other employees. It was a great way to be 100% immersed in French from the start, and I came out the other end fluent and with a vast array of slang at my disposal.
