You want to learn French..or brush up what you already know. You have tried classes at your local University or/and tapes like Rosetta Stone and Berlitz. It is not working for you? You should try immersion. Language immersion is a method of teaching a second language in which the target language for example .. French is used as the means of instruction. Unlike more traditional language courses, where the target language is simply the subject material, French language immersion uses French as a teaching tool, surrounding or "immersing" students in the French language. In-class activities, and those outside of the class, such as meals or everyday tasks, are conducted in the French language. Why Senegal...not only will you learn the French language but get to immerse yourself in an African culture and traditions.
