French & Cookery/Skiing at La vieille Ferme
At the transition from GCSE to A level, and with an increasing importance being placed on spoken French, what better way to immerse ones self in a language and learn important cookery/skiing skills. Breakfast, morning & evening lessons developing your spoken French and afternoons cooking/skiing; all based, along with accommodation, in our beautifully renovated Haute-Savoie farmhouse an hour from Geneva.
Who Is This Course Aimed At?
This course is ideal for students preparing for AS French but also for any mid teenage student wanting to improve both linguistic and culinary skills. Classes will be no larger than 7. Formal, structured conversation work using video, radio, role play starts at Breakfast time and continues through until 12.30, with a mid morning break. Students then prepare lunch, spend the afternoon learning and acquiring important basic cookery skills before returning to further structured, topic based conversation in the evening.
