French isn't just learned, it's lived
In this spirit, Alliance Française d’Oklahoma City is delighted to announce its partnership with Alliance Française de Montréal
to offer our members an exceptional opportunity to experience French language and Francophonie culture in an authentic,
immersive setting in Summer 2027.
Located in Montréal, Québec, one of the world’s largest primarily French-speaking cities outside of Paris, this highly regarded immersion experience provides the perfect opportunity to take your French beyond the classroom and into everyday life.
Experience French. Live French. Discover Montréal.
Imagine strolling down the historic cobblestone streets of Vieux-Montréal, sipping coffee at a charming sidewalk café, indulging in one of the world’s most celebrated food scenes, and immersing yourself in festivals, concerts, exhibitions, history, and local culture - all in French.
Don’t just imagine the dream - live it!
Discover Montréal through the language, culture, food, and joie de vivre that make the city so unforgettable. If you would like to improve your French and experience an unforgettable adventure, the AF de Montréal Immersion Program is for you!
We chose to partner with this program for three primary reasons:
Program Quality - Premier French-language immersion experience, flexibility, small class size
Location – Large, vibrant French-speaking city, rich with history and old-world European charm
Cost – Budget-friendly program, favorable exchange rate, variety of accommodation options
Participating in a week-long immersion program is an exciting opportunity that benefits from a little advance planning. We encourage participants to consider scheduling time away from work or school, budgeting for travel expenses, and deciding which experience best suits their interests. You may choose to travel independently, join a group of friends or fellow students, or incorporate the immersion program into a family vacation.
We are sharing this information in advance because program dates will be announced soon, with enrollment expected to open in early November. Classes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend enrolling as early as possible, particularly if you have preferred dates or plan to attend with a group. Classes are popular and fill up quickly with participants from across the globe.
Once the dates are finalized, we will notify students and members by email. Information will also be updated on our website, so please check back regularly for the latest details:
The Alliance Française d’Oklahoma City is pleased to share program information and offer discounts to participants. Please note that enrollment and registration will be handled directly between participants and the Alliance Française de Montréal.
