Class Experience

Come chat in French! This class is an ongoing conversational class for students to practice advanced level (CEFR upper B1 and above) vocabulary and phrases. 

IMPORTANT TO KNOW: 
- Speed: Fast, I do not slow my speech rate down for this class. 
- This class is appropriate for: Generally students who have completed their 4th year or higher of French, are AP students, or have similar knowledge. Upper CEFR levels B1 and above
- Students should be able to converse in French just about as well as they would in English. I am happy to assist with verbs or vocabulary for the occasional word or phrase but sentences should conjugated properly with minimal assistance. Students should be able to properly formulate phrases in past, present and future tenses properly.
- Students should plan to take notes of phrases that are taught so they can use them in subsequent conversations. 


FORMAT: 
- This is a student-led class so we will discuss whatever the students wish to discuss. If conversation stalls, I will suggest a topic or we will play some verbal games that help students practice vocabulary and pronunciation. 
- This is a full immersion course. 


CLASS BEHAVIOR & ADMINISTRATIVE INFO: 
Please make note of the following:
1) VIDEO REQUIRED. Students will interact with me and their peers using the microphone and video camera on their device. In order to ensure the safety of all students, please ensure that your learner is able to turn on their video so that I may verify their identity. I also ask that cameras stay on unless your student needs to step away. 
2) Please have your learner(s) familiarize themselves with the Outschool features such as mute and raising their hand. Students are expected to be respectful to all during class.
3) Please enroll all siblings for their own spot in the class, as appropriate. 
4) Classes with less than 2 students will be either canceled and refunded or rescheduled. 
5) Make up sessions are not available for my ongoing courses as we learn something new each week. I encourage students to review the video for whichever class they missed.
6) Please refer to the Outschool policy regarding refunds. I cannot offer refunds after the class has taken place. Parents are responsible for unsubscribing from the class should there be a planned absence.
Learning Goals
Each class discussion will be different. Topics are learner led and I aide students in discussing age-appropriate topics in a manner that helps them practice their vocabulary.

Bonjour! Xin chΓ o mαΊ₯y bαΊ‘n!

Thanks for stopping by! I’m a native French and Vietnamese speaker, a culinary school graduate and a worldschooling parent. My father is French from Bretagne, my mother is Vietnamese from Saigon (now known as Ho Chi Minh City) and while I was born in the US, Vietnamese was my first language and I spent nearly every summer either in Paris or Saigon and spent a few years full-time in Paris going to school. 

While learning languages β€” especially beyond the beginner level β€” does involve some effort, it doesn’t need to be boring and I pride myself in trying to instill a love of language and culture in my students. 

I hope you’ll join me on a language adventure!

A bientΓ΄t! HαΊΉn gαΊ·p lαΊ‘i!
Mme. M/CΓ΄ Jade

✡CLASS POLICIES✡

VIDEO:
*** Video is required.*** This is important because I need to see how students formulate sounds with their mouths. Students will interact with me and their peers using the microphone and video camera on their device.  In order to ensure the safety of all students, please ensure that your learner is able to turn on their video so that I may verify their identity. I also ask that cameras stay on unless your student needs to step away. 

CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR:
Please have your learner(s) familiarize themselves with the Outschool features such as mute and raising their hand. Students are expected to be respectful to all during class whether verbally or in writing. 

SIBLINGS & PARENTS:
Please enroll all siblings for their own spot in the class, as appropriate. Per Outschool policy, parents and other siblings may NOT be on camera with the student. 

DISCOUNTS:
- Discounts are upon request and/or at my discretion.
- I offer a 10% discount to parents enrolling 3 or more children simultaneously in multi-day courses. 
- I offer a 20% discount to current students who would like to re-try a multi-day course they’ve already taken. 
- I do not offer any discounts for ongoing or one-time classes.

CANCELLATIONS, TRANSFERS & REFUNDS
- Transfers: Parents may ask for a transfer of a student to a different class time provided it is done the day before class starts. Last minute cancellations will not be refunded. 

- Minimum enrollment: I reserve the right to cancel an ongoing class with less than 3 students and a multi-day class with less than 5 students. These classes will either be canceled and refunded, or rescheduled.

- Multi-day classes: Parents may receive a full refund until a week in advance, or within 24 hours of purchase (until the class starts). I do not offer refunds or make up sessions for classes missed. Students are encouraged tor view the class recordings for classes that take place in their absence.

- Ongoing classes: For planned absences, parents may keep the student enrolled if they would like their student to keep their spot in class. The student will have access to the class recording upon completion of the class. If parents would prefer not to be charged and do not want the recording, they should unsubscribe from the class prior to the Sunday of that week. Barring a problem that occurred on my end (e.g. technical issues), I do not offer refunds after the class has taken place. 

- Classes wherein no students are present within the first ten minutes will be canceled without refund.
