About Paris

“The City of Lights” is a living architectural, historical and cultural museum considered the cradle of French culture and the center of French fashion, cuisine, art and architecture. And for anyone who’s ever visited Paris, the image of the lamplit bridges spanning the Seine and the many art nouveau cafes lined with wicker-chair-lined terraces is indelibly etched in your mind.

The Cradle of French Culture

Paris boasts one of the greatest art collections in the world, including not only the massive Louvre, but also the Musée d’Orsay’s with its impressionist collection, and the Centre Pompidou’s modern and contemporary art collection, in addition to other smaller museums housing many different genres. And the French language itself is one of the most coveted elements of French culture, so much so that, since 1635, the Académie française’ sole purpose has been the preservation of the integrity of the language.

The city center along the Seine River is classified as a UNESCO Heritage Site and includes the most famous of the monuments and museums. Most notably is the spire of the Eiffel Tower, the iconic Arc de Triomphe and Paris’ most famous avenue, the Champs-Élysées, and the massive Notre Dame cathedral. Just as alluring are the beautiful and inviting neighborhoods and laid-back café culture that invite you to relax and take it all in.

Explore Paris & Practice French

Learn to explore Paris like a local while practicing and perfecting your French! Some of the many local activities include cooking classes with a personal chef, guided market tours, or wine tastings and cheese and wine pairings with a professional sommelier.

Enjoy the enticing patisseries, boulangeries, fromageries and colorful street markets that are perfect for packing a picnic to take to the city’s parks and gardens. Ideal times to visit are Spring, especially April and May, and Autumn, September and October. Summer, June to August is the busiest tourist season but some establishments close during August for the local vacations.

How can I prepare in advance for my Luxury Language Learning Experience?
The truth is that you don’t have to do anything other than bringing an open mind and a positive attitude, and our experienced language instructors, cultural immersion activities, and time will do the rest!  But if you would like to get a jump on things we suggest the following:

1. Practice your listening skills using one or both of the following methods:
a. If your TV service provider has any programming in the language that you plan to learn, watch and listen to those programs! News programs are best because they identify a theme and stick to it for a while, compared to movies or sitcoms that have more complex themes and dialogue.  But any exposure is good.
‍
b. There are mobile applications that allow you to listen to radio stations from all over the world. One example is an iPhone app called “TuneIn”.  Thus, if you’re learning Italian, for example, you can listen to Radio Rai or another Italian station.  Sometimes it’s news, other times it may be a soccer match, but plug in your headphones and go for a walk and let your mind do the rest! In both cases it’s not a problem if you don’t understand, just pay close attention and your mind will start to decipher repetitive sounds.  Pick out a word and look it up if you can; be interactive.

2. Read up on your destination and become familiar with the sites and customs. The more interest you take in the culture the more natural it will feel to begin learning and practicing the language.

Every individual’s language level is different and we also each learn differently. How can language instructors possibly sort this all out?
Having a personal one-on-one language instructor solves a lot of issues as that’s exactly what they are trained to do, namely, evaluate the student’s level and understand how they learn (and what are their interests).  Our language instructors are each unique but share certain traits such as:

They are handpicked and very experienced in teaching adults. There will be an evaluation, either prior to departure or once on site, to establish the language learning level. They focus heavily on conversation, and cover grammar as is needed to address practical needs and uses throughout the day; the curriculum and activities are designed for practical use. And they will adapt to every individual’s way of learning and interests as they get to know them over time.
expand_more
What is the recommended length of stay in a destination?
In language learning, the more the better because it’s cumulative, that is, you will progress faster and retain more as time goes on!  Three weeks or more would be ideal, and you would most likely learn more the third week than the first two combined.  But since this is a customized experience, you select the dates and duration from one week to a month or more!
expand_more
Do you book flights?
We do not so flights should be booked through your travel agent, travel website, or directly with the airlines.
expand_more
Do you book train tickets?
We do not book train tickets, though we can advise on trains when that is your choice for in-country travel.  You may also get help through the dedicated concierge once onsite.
expand_more
How can I pay?
You may pay by credit card or bank/electronic wire transfer.
expand_more
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is for your protection, in case of unforeseen events causing trip cancellation/interruption, or any medical expenses during your trip. We strongly recommend that you purchase comprehensive travel insurance, which may include coverage options from basic trip cancellation insurance to full coverage with emergency medical assistance. Travel Insurance gives you peace of mind and safeguards your investment in the event of a cancellation prior to or during your trip.  You can find travel insurance plans with any of the following:  Travel Guard, Allianz, and Travelex.
expand_more
What are the departure dates for your language programs?
Key to the success of the Language & Luxury methodology is one on one language instruction, so the program is a customized experience rather than a group tour.  Thus, the dates are flexible and totally up to you.  You simply select the destination and provide us the arrival and departure dates.
expand_more
Are meals included with your language program?
We do not include meals in the standard package, as enjoying food is one of the best ways to immerse yourself in the local culture!  We do provide restaurant guides and a dedicated concierge service for restaurant recommendations and reservations.

And as part of the customization, we will offer other options for dining, such as a private chef, cooking courses and wine tastings; and, of course, our properties are equipped with full kitchens.
expand_more
Will I be able to fully speak a foreign language?
It can take many months to become truly fluent in a language depending on the individuals ability, motivation and dedication. Our language learning methodology is superior to traditional language learning methods and you will learn faster by using the one on one language instruction and cultural immersion that Language & Luxury™ provides.
