Class Experience

This class is tailored to start from the very beginning (A1/A2 European Framework level), helping students to learn a new foreign language by introducing them to speaking, listening and reading skills.
The rewards that come with knowing a new language are numerous. It increases your brain power, is a gateway into another culture, makes travel easier and more enjoyable, boosts creativity and self-confidence and can provide a competitive edge in educational and career choices. 
Given you are consistent in your efforts through practice and repetition, you will have great success. Students can improve their level by spending time outside of class using the worksheets and other resources provided as well as completing their assigned homework. 

Class will be conducted 80% in French and 20% in English (for comprehension purposes only. NO prior knowledge of French is necessary).

For students younger than 6 years old who are interested in learning French, please check out my ongoing class "French Vocabulary Through Song" ages 3-6.
