Bonjour! My name is Laura. I am a French native speaker and I teach the class in French. I do translate as needed to help the learners to understand and memorize what they are learning. The class is for teenagers from 15 to 18 years old. All are welcome. Some French is recommended before signing for this class but not mandatory if you apply yourself. There is weekly homework to practice what has been learned during class. The book and the workbook AlterEgo A1 are mandatory and learners must have them before starting class.
