This a r t i c l e explains how one teacher tried to meet in minimal time the challenge of maximizing students' cultural awareness and linguistic competency in French. A three-week live-in with French speaking Canadian families and an opportunity to assist teachers in a bilingual elementary school formed the nucleus of the experience, which served to deepen and prolong the facility acquired in a typical language course. A step-by- step description of the experiment and its effects on both the students and the participating community lead the author to believe that interest, coupled with a satisfying cultural experience, can give even those students who have not had the advantage of early foreign language exposure a chance to survive the current pressures for 'professional' education at the expense of liberal education.
