Why friLingue
For 19 years, children have been learning languages with us where they love to be: outdoors, together, in small groups.
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.
Supervised around the clock
A young, multilingual team, a supervised evening programme and lights-out in the camp: your child is never alone.
The most beautiful places in Switzerland
Mountain landscapes and lakes: St. Bernard in Valais, the car-free village of Braunwald, Lake Schwarzsee and Estavayer-le-Lac on Lake Neuchâtel.
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
