ONE-TO-ONE COURSES WHERE THE LANGUAGE IS SPOKEN

NEW LANGUAGE, NEW WORLD

language immersion course

Learning a language is often a little daunting.
We think about the time it took us to learn our mother tongue, about the grammar and its inevitable traps, and about the great many number of words we need to memorise. We are afraid of and even feel guilty about making ‘mistakes’. We remember with some bitterness our teacher’s corrections in red ink pen. We are afraid of not understanding what someone is saying to us, of not being understood at all, of sounding ridiculous. We know that pronunciation can sometimes pose insurmountable difficulties. And yet, a language is something different from all this.

DISCOVERING THE HIDDEN TREASURES OF ANOTHER LANGUAGE

A language is like a hidden treasure, a bag of delights. It is a new world to be discovered, a new light.
The way to greet, to thank, to ask a question, to introduce, to describe, to tell a story, to accept, to refuse and to structure time is different from one language to another.

Learning a language brings about a change of dimension and of references. Speaking this new language involves thinking differently and expressing ourselves differently.

It enriches our experience with nuances, values and ways of seeing and hearing that are different from and even opposed to our mother tongue. It changes our habits and our outlook on the world. It changes our attitude and behaviour. It opens up a new way of life, a new universe.

THE PLEASURE OF COMMUNICATING THANKS TO COMPLETE IMMERSION

We should learn the new language in complete immersion

A language vibrates and causes vibrations in us. The sensations it provokes are indescribable. All our apprehensions swiftly disappear in the face of this unexpected pleasure. To experience this pleasure, we should learn the new language in complete immersion. If you follow lessons in a country where the language is not spoken, if you do not have the opportunity to live in the language from morning till night, you will probably never experience the pleasure of communicating in the new language.

DialoguE invites you to live and learn German in Germany (Meersburg), English in England (Rye), Spanish in Spain (Barcelona), Italian in Italy (Todi), French in the French speaking region of Belgium (Spa-Ardennes) and Dutch in the Dutch-speaking region of Belgium (Sint-Pieters-Leeuw).

VIRTUES OF COMPLETE IMMERSION

During your total immersion at DialoguE, the new language will stop sounding alien and foreign to you. You will communicate naturally, to the point of forgetting your mother tongue.
You will no longer translate, you will think directly in your new language. And you will be proficient and effective.
Translating can lead to many misunderstandings, many quiproquos. Immersion will help you avoid these uncomfortable situations.

This language ‘bath’ is also a rejuvenating bath. You will feel like a fish in water.
Not only will you save considerable time, you will also learn without being conscious of it. This demanding learning phase will become a pleasant experience.
Your motivation, which you thought you had lost, will return. Eager for discovery, you will journey, sails filled with fair winds of this new language, towards unknown scents and undiscovered spices …
And, you will ask yourself why you waited so long before learning a language well, that is to say ‘in complete immersion’.
