Planning for an international retirement is easy when you speak the lingo. Therese Lafleche shares why immersion courses are the best way to learn a foreign language.
Therese was born in Canada and grew up bilingual, speaking both english and french at home as well as at school.
Since the age of 16, she loved to travel and discover more about the world, different culture and herself in the process!
Of course, in that journey, Therese has also discovered both the joys and frustrations of international travel and living.
Laflechelingo offer amazing language retreats, which are offered in a luxury vacation setting and are extremely effective.
They have also developed the Gypsy Souls section where coaching is offered to help you embrace your Gypsy Soul. Also they are working on different projects to help expats transition into or enjoy expat life to the fullest.
Laflechelingo was created with a big dream behind it. To bring people together through languages and travel. They believe that with these two things, people can start to fully understand and respect different cultures. Though we may have different languages, religions, tradition, when you look deeper we are all the same!
Therese’s favourite quote is one by Mark Twain “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.”
World traveller and expat since the age of 16 Therese has compiled a video series interviewing different experts on what everyone needs to know to become a successful expat.
