COME across the Golden Gate Bridge to
spectacular Marin County,
STAY in my private home with swimming
pool and spa at the base of beautiful Mt. Tamalpais,
IMMERSE yourself -- studying, listening,
reading, speaking and understanding, |
Donna R. Scriven
English Professor |
You Must LIVE
a Language!
Immersion is the key
to fluency |
 |
Do you need to speak and understand English everyday? |
|
|
Do you immediately revert to your mother tongue after
every English class? |
|
|
Have you diligently studied English in your country
but have parts of it that you still don't understand
how to use? |
|
Have you had English speaking 'travelers' as teachers
who speak, but do not know how to teach
well? |
|
Do you feel that you never have the opportunity to
practice and use your knowledge of English? |
| |
Then you are ready for that final step ...
TOTAL IMMERSION! |
Enjoy the comfort of my
home while you learn! |
Having successfully taught business and professional
men/women in Italy, Spain, Costa Rica, Chile and
Portugal, I have seen today's need for complete
confidence when conducting business in English.
As an accredited professor of English, with degrees
from the United States and the University of
Cambridge, I can give you that competence and that
confidence. Here is the opportunity every language learner
dreams of! |
|
You will stay in my large private home with
swimming pool and spa, just twenty minutes from San
Francisco, and participate in a
two week immersion session
to acquire, master and utilize English
language skills. The intensive
instruction includes daily sessions in vital
points of grammar, vocabulary, colloquialisms,
informal conversation, English language movies and
individual assignments. |
My spacious home is
filled with lovely antiques |
ONLY ENGLISH IS SPOKEN AT ALL
TIMES! |
|
Why my home rather than a language institute? |
|
|
My very unique home program assures you 250 hours
of continued studying, listening, reading, writing,
speaking and understanding. At institutes in your
country, the same cost would provide perhaps 50
hours of private instruction. |
Enjoy views of nature, the pool ... |
|
|
OPTIMUM individual attention with only
two participants per session; or, a
private session may be requested and
structured exclusively for you. |
|
|
A home study gives you the opportunity to meet and
communicate with Americans of all ages and walks of
life. |
|
|
In institutes, students of the same mother tongue
usually speak their language during recreational
time. I help you to learn to use English with your
countrymen. In business meetings you cannot
speak English with foreigners and your
language with cohorts. It is inappropriate and
unbusinesslike. |
... or the mountain from every window |
|
In institutes, students of different mother
tongues practice their English with one another
without realizing when they make mistakes. |
|
|
I am accessible from 6 a.m. until midnight to explain,
affirm, correct and support. Immersion exchange
programs exist for young people throughout the
world. Here is your opportunity as
an adult! |
