French with Alina

Whether you’re looking to learn some basics before travelling to a Francophone country, brush up on existing skills, practice conversation or are totally new to the language, my classes are customized to meet your specific needs and goals. My approach is dynamic and incorporates a balance of reading, writing, listening and speaking. In my own experience, I found that there was a fairly large gap between the French learned in school and the French spoken in the streets of Paris. In an effort to bridge this gap between academic French and practical usage, I immerse students in real-life scenarios, make use of authentic documents and expose them to the ins and outs of the languages.
