The CERAN Concept of Complete Immersion

The exclusive use of the target language throughout the day forms the CERAN concept of complete immersion. From breakfast until the end of the evening, you benefit from the constant support of CERAN trainers, and you can concentrate on a single objective: communicating in the target language - Living in the target language.

The structured learning sessions are complemented by opportunities for practicing the language during breaks, meals and evening sessions led by our trainers. This approach ensures that you consolidate your knowledge and gain real communication skills that take full account of the cultural dimension of learning a foreign language.

CERAN Method

The CERAN Method uses the following techniques 

QRI® : question | response | intonation

Effective dialogue: QRI® is based on constant communication between the trainer and the language learner. Much more than dry grammatical exercises, communication practice in the target language lies at the heart of this CERAN technique.

There is no dialogue without listening: each teacher adapts the QRI® method to suit your level.

Key Sentences

These sentences are extracted from each lesson and can be adapted to different contexts. At the end of your stay, we give you a CD containing all your personal key sentences, to help you reinforce your knowledge and continue to learn.

Verbo-tonal Method for phonetic correction

(Developed by the University of Mons-Hainaut in Belgium)

Each language has its own intonation, rhythm and sounds. The verbo-tonal method for phonetic correction helps you to recognize these factors that make up the sound of a language and so improve your pronunciation.

CERAN Lifestyle

Our daily challenge is to succeed in meeting your needs for a high return and rapid progress through our unique approach.  Speed, efficiency and rigor go hand in hand with conviviality in our CERAN centers. You will find hospitality and a lifestyle which favor an interpersonal and cultural approach to motivate learners.

Hospitality, lifestyle, enthusiasm, rigorous learning and a concern for results: this combination is the secret to the success of CERAN centers.

A multi-cultural environment

The diversity of origins and interests of participants brings an added value to your language learning experience.

A Swiss banker, a Brazilian engineer, a Dutch human resources director, an American journalist, a Swedish diplomat, a Japanese consultant, an Italian civil servant working for the European Commission - participants rich in cultural origins, professional trainings and experiences of life are all grouped together with one common objective: mastering a foreign language.
