Why immersion, not drills
70 hours of French input beats 286 hours of French class.
You acquire French by understanding messages in French, not by memorizing rules about it. Comprehensible input is roughly 4× as efficient as traditional instruction, and it is exactly what an immersion stay in Franceprovides. Immersion delivers the same ingredient, at your level, at home.

What's inside
A complete French immersion course, not a pile of videos.
Everything a stay in France gives you, organized into a path: input you understand, reading, conversation, and real teachers.

AI crosstalk with Louis
Speak English, get answers in French. Louis adapts to the vocabulary you've already met in the videos and gives you unlimited low-pressure conversation practice whenever you want it.
1:1 lessons with native French teachers
45-minute lessons conducted entirely in French by certified teachers from France: live comprehensible input, crosstalk, guided reading, and conversation, structured around a single topic.

From our learners
People who learned French this way.
I bought this for my child, but I accidentally learned French myself too
Just sitting with my child to make sure the content was appropriate actually taught me way more French than I expected. No need for textbooks, watching videos work better and it's fun!
Comprehensible Input is backed by research, but finding high-quality content like Immersion is nearly impossible
I've spent hours looking for videos on YouTube but couldn't find a large enough library of videos for beginners like me. Now I have everything I need to progress on one platform.
Immersion completely changed my approach to language learning. It's intuitive and truly immersive
I've learned more in weeks than I did in years with traditional apps! The comprehensible input method makes fluency feel effortless. Highly recommend!

team@immersion.coIt is a complete program. The videos are the core, organized into four comprehension levels so you always know what to watch next, and they are paired with read-alongs, the Louis AI crosstalk tutor, progress tracking, a community, and optional 1:1 lessons with native French teachers. Everything is included in one subscription.
An immersion stay in France surrounds you with French, but as a beginner most of it is too fast to understand, and it costs thousands per week. Immersion gives you French pitched at your level, in volume, from home, for $9.99 a month. Many learners do both: build comprehension with us first, then travel once they can understand what people say.
Yes. The Starter level is designed for people with zero French. Teachers speak slowly and use gestures, drawings, and repetition so you follow the meaning without translation. Picking up only a few words in the first videos is normal; comprehension grows quickly with hours of input.
Comprehensible input is roughly four times as efficient as classroom instruction. At 30 minutes a day, most serious learners follow everyday French within a few months and reach comfortable conversational fluency in a little over a year. More daily input gets you there faster.
Our teachers are from France, so you will acquire Metropolitan French first. The grammar and vocabulary overlap with Quebec French is near total, and a strong base in one variety makes the other easy to pick up from local input later.
Yes. Every subscription includes all of our languages. You can switch between the French and German libraries anytime from the app at no extra cost.

No textbooks, no flashcards, no plane ticket. Just French you can understand, every day, until you can't remember not understanding it.
