Homework can be done in the form of using the online app Quizlet.com just 3 times a week for 5 minutes each session. Short and simple.

This is an ongoing class, so children in the class can remain in the class for as long as it takes to memorize the verb conjugation using "être." Parents can see progress in their children by simply using the Quizlet app, and the teacher can assess programs through simple questioning in class.

25 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
