Join us as we move through a French classic, 'Le Petit Prince' ('The Little Prince'). Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s 'Le Petit Prince' ('The Little Prince') has been read in many languages throughout the world in homes and classrooms for years.

This class is designed for students who have studied French and have knowledge of advanced French grammar and vocabulary. This class is taught in French. Students will be expected to converse in French. Students will read the assigned chapter prior to class and complete the discussion questions in French so they are prepared for a class discussion. The teacher will highlight important vocabulary and grammatical points of each chapter to review with students prior to our class discussion. This is a great class for students who have a solid foundation in French and need to grow their speaking, reading, and writing sills in an immersion class.

Bonjour! I am Madame Heather and I am a licensed French teacher for ages preK-12. I have 15 years teaching experience in the classroom and over 5 years teaching experience online. I have a BA in French, an MA in Sociolinguitics, and I have lived in the south of France where I taught ESL. I am an engaging teacher who focuses first on making the student feel comfortable learning a new language in a natural way. I believe learning a language should be fun and I also like to use manipulatives to keep students moving during class. I look forward to helping your student expand their interest in francophone culture and language.
