Pierre and Valérie’s story

Pierre and Valérie run Oohlala, a French language center which specializes in French immersion classes for children and teenagers in San Diego, California.
 Pierre, a certified History and Geography teacher, has travelled the world with his wife and children, offering his teaching expertise to various French language schools, and before finally choosing to settle down in San Diego. 
In addition to their dedication to teaching, both Pierre and Valérie also organise specific programs such as CNED ( http://www.cned.fr ) which helps the children of French expats keep up their French skills while abroad. They love to connect with people from all over the world and are full of new, innovative ideas and energy.

French Immersion courses in San Diego


Oohlala Languages School provides teenagers and children with the opportunity learn French in San Diego, California, through the high-quality French Immersion courses they provide.
Our relationship with Oohlala school also provides the opportunity for our school to offer French tailor-made immersion programs in France. Students visiting from San Diego will be hosted in French homestay accommodation with intensive private French tuition. There is always at least one member of the French host family who is a certified teacher, which means that the students get not only an immersive experience, but also high-quality tuition when they come to visit.

A huge thanks to Pierre and Valérie for the memories we made in San Diego in December 2016 !
