The Stage Immersion Anglais Blog

Welcome to our blog page!

We aim to update the site with articles, mostly in English, to interest and entertain our students, friends and family.

You'll find blogs about Lauragais and Haute Garonne - this beautiful region of France that we call home.

We introduce French readers to some of the quirks of British life. And for students of English, Ted includes simple but highly effective tips for mastering tricky grammar.

Enjoy reading!
