Why friLingue

Individual support, hands-on learning and unforgettable camp locations

International mix

Young people from Switzerland and around the world meet, connect and discover new cultures.

A contrast to school

Young, creative teachers and an international atmosphere with volunteers from all over the world – learning that is fun.

Unique camp locations

We have chosen the most beautiful places in Switzerland for our camps: breathtaking mountains and stunning lakes.

Hands-on & communicative

Language is experienced, not crammed – with interactive, playful sessions and plenty of speaking time.

Teaching in small groups

A maximum of 6 children per group – more focus on each child’s strengths. Speaking and using the language come first.

About friLingue

Diversity and genuine, personal support

At friLingue, children learn languages in a slightly different way. In small groups of 6 per class on average we focus on using the language and respond to each child’s individual strengths and weaknesses – hands-on, motivating and with a lot of fun. Our teachers are young, dynamic and creative, and bring their passion to lessons and to the programme afterwards.

“It matters to us that every child feels seen. That’s why we work in small groups and guide with clear values – so your child doesn’t just learn a language, but grows as a person.”

“Amadeus was at the tennis and French camp in Liddes and loved it. He would happily go again. A big thank you to the whole friLingue team.”
Cornelia M. · Parent · tennis & French camp, Liddes
“A comfortable environment and great activities. Our 9-year-old daughter felt very at ease with the teachers and the other children. Usually shy with foreign languages, she started speaking with other kids in different languages.”
Parent · daughter (age 9)
“Both our children loved the friLingue summer camp at Schwarzsee. Alongside the many activities, they had quality language lessons and made friends with young people from other countries. A great experience – we will definitely do it again!”
