Students also visit international organizations in Geneva, historical monuments in the area, and participate in optional outdoor activities. No French is required to learn from Tufts esteemed faculty while experiencing French culture and residing with French host families.

Tufts in Annecy: July 3 – July 31, 2010
College students and adults who want to improve their beginner or intermediate French language skills will find Annecy, the "Venice of France," and inspiring environment. Classes are taught by native French speakers who are experts in developing speaking, listening, grammar, writing, and reading skills. Residing with a French family facilitates language acquisition and enhances the exploration of French customs and culture. Tufts students will earn one full credit for participation in the French 1, 2, 3, 4 or Independent Study (FR 21 or FR22) class.
