Hear From Our Satisfied Learners!

Anwesha and I are extremely happy with our French course and with Line! She has done a great job of teaching us and took us from the basics to helping us practice speaking French as well. I really like how the course can be tweaked based on what comes up during a conversation as long as it’s within the beginner parameters. I don’t think there is anything I’d change about the course. I just want to tell you it’s a real pleasure learning with Line and she really makes the classes a lot of fun for us.
