 I always enjoy Marianne's class. I've been taking them since 101. Her attention to detail (and patience lol) without diction and comprehension is appreciated at the advanced level. I'm not sure how she does it so well on Zoom, but she does. She also provides emails on current French events so we can participate and enhance our cultural learnings. I really appreciate this continued learning. Also, to coincide with teachings in the book and from online class, she follows up with additional information on the topics each week. Â
Dahmane is an excellent teacher. Knowledgeable, imaginative, firm, but forgiving. Advanced course - useful to hear native speaker's conversation. A lot of class participation considering zoom sessions. Â
Dr Gardner is an excellent teacher. I love the way she provides a great deal of practical information and examples of life in France. Her classes are always enjoyable, interesting and informative. This class has helped my French language skills a great deal. Our online classes have been very good.
