Language Immersion Launches to Full House

Last month we launched both the French and German Immersion programs for 2011. Parents and students were encouraged to attend to find out more about the immersion program, and get to know more about Antipodeans Abroad. Both nights were a great success, with over 260 people attending either the French or German evenings. The students were able to hear directly from other language immersion participants who travelled to Europe over Christmas last year. Thank you to everyone who attended, and we look forward to working with you in the future!


What is the program all about?
Students in Years 10 and 11 tend to biggest year groups we take away, although we will take some Year 9's each year. Students have 3 options to choose their length of stay and all live with a host family for anything from 5 weeks to 3 months from November through to the end of January.

The program is a great way to learn spoken French or German, make new friends in another country and learn about school and family life on the other side of the world. The German students are based in Heidelberg and the French students are based in a number of cities across France. All have a number of visits and outings as a group during their stay, the French students spend the first four days in Paris and the German students spend a week in Munich and Berlin.

If you know students at school who would like to improve their spoken French or German, here's a fun and exciting way to do so over the Christmas holidays. For more information, please visit the Antipodeans Abroad website clicking here.
