Hey you far North compadres, I'm interested in some of the French Immersion programs yall have. Wonder if you can point me to some good ones that don't cost a bundle.

I'm thinking about beginning to take French this summer, to prepare for hiking Europe in a couple of years. Just wondering what educational/vacational opportunities exist up North there.

Hi Dwight,
One of the options you can explore is the 5-week summer immersion programme at Université Sainte-Anne. This is located in the Sough West of Nova Scotia. The link is above. If you are in Louisiana and wish to minimize cost, there's a new immersion program in Thibodeaux through Université Sainte-Anne (centre Eddie Richard). There's a link from the link above for that too.
Good luck in your search.

I'll be ****ed. I live in California, but went to Nicholls State Univ. in Thibodaux back in the early 70's. Born and raised 15 miles from there. I'll check out Sainte-Anne's, but likely Nova Scotia, unless I can swing something really cheap in Thibodaux. Could be a way to visit a lot of folks too. Thanks Maz.

Let me know if you drop by Halifax.

I'm looking to try to do some hiking/backpacking SOMEWHERE in Canada. Been scouting lately.

Any suggestions close to you?

Dwight

That sounds like a fun experience. Have you ever heard of Couch Surfing? I've attached the link above. It's an international network of people who are open to receive people in their home for a day or two. As a member, you get the privilege to connect with other members, and in exchange, you have to accept to receive people in your home at least once in your life. Pretty cool. In terms of geographic location to visit, perhaps we can email each other. I can give you some ideas if I know what your interests are.
Ciao.

If anyone saw my house, they'd want their money back.

Couch surfing is free!

That's what I mean. They'd still want their money back. Like "We spent all that money to get here, and this is what we get?"
