Testimonies from Tuesday class:

Marie-Anne makes learning French easy, fun and exciting. She is always encouraging, and I feel very comfortable attempting to speak with her.  She excels at explaining grammar in a way that makes sense to native English speakers.  Her lessons are always engaging and tailored to what interests the student.  Working with such a committed and passionate teacher has motivated me to want to study in between the lessons.

While the classes are structured to enforce language skills, the nuances of culture and the history of French society are not neglected.  Classes are small which means that every student gets practice speaking the language with the teacher and one another.  The price is very affordable for the 10-week term. I doubt my French would be at its current level particularly my understanding of conjugation, tenses and grammar without these classes.  I have also made long-lasting friendships with fellow students. I can only rave about these classes!” Karin Godecke – South Perth.
