    Haley
    I really liked the way the teacher taught us real life vocabulary. It was a good program, and the pace was right for my level.
    Andrea
    My child is intrigued by my course and it has “spring boarded” many discussions. Now we do “our homework” together.

    My children continue happily in French immersion.
