French immersion at teacher’s home
French language & cultural immersion across France and the francophone world.
To immerse oneself in the French language is to enter a world where every word carries the weight of history, every conversation reveals a culture, and every day becomes a discovery of the soul.
Bonjour and welcome!
I’m Georgiana MAËS ONESIM, founder of French Immersion at Teacher’s Home (FITH) — a network of passionate French teachers across France and the francophone world who welcome students into their homes for authentic language and cultural immersion.
What began as a one-woman adventure in my home near Paris has grown into a vibrant community of dedicated hosts who share a love of teaching, hospitality, and cultural exchange.
Each stay offers more than just French lessons: it’s a chance to live the language, explore local customs, and experience the real France — from Provence to Brittany, the Alps to Guadeloupe.
