Bonjour! My name is Laura. I teach the class in French and I do translate as needed to help the learners to understand and memorize what they are learning.  The class is for children from 8 to 11 years old. All are welcome but taking Loustics 2 before is recommended. We will read, listen to audio extracts, we will write sentences, work on paragraphs and conjugation, and sometimes have projects to create!  The class is structured and part of a yearlong curriculum with new French things to learn every week. I am a fun teacher, I have a lot of patience, and I like to encourage the students to speak. À bientôt!
