IP International Projects: French Summer Courses

Feb. 22, 2011 - PRLog -- The French have dominated culture, language, cuisine, and fashion throughout history, making the French culture one of the most distinct and unique cultures today. A mixture of historical events, social behaviors, and expectations the formation of French culture doesn’t seem very different from the rest of Europe. So what is it that makes the French distinctly French? What is it that has inspired volumes of novels, books, and films about French society? Taking French summer courses in France is a very logical and enjoyable way of satisfying any French curiosity.
One of the most well –known stereotypes about the French is that they “only” speak French. Frustrating to some comical to others, this stereotype does actually lend some truth to really experiencing a culture- the vitality of language. In order to really understand any culture a good command of the language is necessary. Taking a French summer course allows participants to brush up or even start learning French in its most natural setting possible- France. With a native speaking instructor participants can ask questions not only pertaining to the grammar or syntax, but questions about slang and culture as well. Not to mention that the instructors are a great wealth of information about the “important” things like where to find the best cup of coffee.  International Projects offers a variety of French summer courses designed not only to teach French, but provide participants with unlimited opportunities to really experience French culture.
The importance of combining activities and language is that learning a language requires a person to use and practice it daily. Whether this is shopping in the city, ordering at a restaurant, or simply asking for directions; French summer courses allow even the most basic French skills to improve.  Summer courses allow participants to break out of their textbook shell and really get to know their gorgeous and historical surroundings because the can speak the language of the people.
So the next time curiosity arises, stop asking questions, and book a trip to join one of the many French summer courses available and get some answers.  More Information at http://www.internationalprojects.com/en/
