French Language Immersion in Switzerland
Try Switzerland for French language immersion travel! Towering snowcapped peaks and sparkling lakes set the stage for enchanting medieval towns and modern global cities. Mouthwatering chocolate, creamy fondue and melty raclette tease taste buds. Despite the influence of its French, German and Italian neighbors, Switzerland has a fascinating culture of its own! Our short-term language immersion programs to Switzerland offer teachers and student groups the opportunity to explore this beautiful country. Did you know that yodeling was originally used as a means of communication between herders and Alpine villages? Students become temporary locals, immersing themselves in Swiss daily life while practicing their French through our signature Family Stay Experience™. There they will learn more about what traditions are uniquely Swiss when they stay with a French-speaking family!

What People Are Saying
My son had a fantastic time. He wanted to go back before he was even home. The Family Stay Experience was great for him. Hiking, youth group, family birthday party, relaxing at the family home, hanging out with his host brother's friends and checking out the city. He really enjoyed the complete package of this trip!
French Parent
He would not have taken French for four years if this trip wasn't planned. And now he is taking a fifth year of French. My son has always been a saver. But having to save and earn money to pay for the majority of this trip was a life-long lesson. He is hoping to visit France and other countries in the future.
French Parent
For any students who are unsure about pursuing an immersion program, I can only recommend giving it a try. My trip to France with Xperitas brought a new dimension to a language and culture I hadn't experienced firsthand. Exploring new places and cultures abroad has given me some of my best memories and best friends, and has certainly played a role in shaping my goals for the future.
