Instructor:
Alice Ayel

This class is designed for “advanced beginners.” You have had some French experience in the past or you think you are “kind of” a beginner and you want to move on!

Each session will focus on comprehension and reading in French with ease. Keep on building a strong foundation and acquire the most frequent French words and structures used in everyday conversations like to need, to have to, to feel like… Co-create and listen to compelling stories, and engage in conversations about your interests.

There will be framing and scaffolding for everyone to understand the class. The goal is to boost your French and to boost your confidence to speak French naturally.

No pressure to speak! As French comprehension expands and expands, talk will spontaneously appear. ” Speaking is a result of language acquisition and not its cause.” (Krashen, 1985).

 

 

“Alice Ayel is the best teacher I have ever had. She is a sweet, fun person and excellent at allowing us to find the language gently. I will work with her forever and a day.”

 

“This class is a bright spot in my week!”

 

“Alice makes class so fun and interesting and she’s very kind and patient. I’m actually learning, which I’ve never really had before, even with years of French class! The approach used to teach is amazing. So glad to not be writing out verb conjugations!”

 

“The stories are very helpful in enabling me to listen more and understand the words in a conversational form and not just vocabulary that I am trying to piece together.”

 

“I love having a small social outlet and stretching my brain during the pandemic, the weekly exposure to French language, and learning about French culture.”

 

“I am very happy with this class.  The content is rich but also understandable. Alice is a great teacher. It is also fun that the students in the class are from all over the world.”

 

“I love the no-pressure approach!”
