This year Anne-Marie and I had the pleasure of attending a two week programme at Centre de Rencontres et d'Echanges Internationaux du Pacifique (CREIPAC) in Noumea. It was my first time doing a linguistic stay in New Caledonia but it was Anne-Marie's third.
We had the pleasure of meeting 5 other Australiennes d'un certain âge. It was a fun group who all enjoyed a passion for the language and travel. There were different accommodation options available: hotel, apartment and homestay. I chose the homestay, as did Anne-Marie, as I feel that this is the best way to progress my French. I had a wonderful family and hope to go back and stay with them again. Next year they will come and stay with me in Adelaide. Ghislaine, our teacher was wonderful. The activities were always interesting and fun. Grammar, vocabulary, cultural input and pronunciation were all interwoven into lessons and covered as needed when needed. This kept the information relevant and timely. There is a lot of student involvement with plenty of chance to refine your conversation skills.
