“If you live within driving distance, taking classes with Louise is, hands down, your best choice to learn to speak French as a débutant or to perfectionner your French as a more advanced speaker. Group classes or online instruction are not nearly as effective as in-person, and a French native such as Louise brings another level of cultural and language knowledge beyond grammar and vocabulary proficiency. She offers a well-organized and structured approach to learning French if wanted or needed, but is flexible in course design, e.g., for lazier bavards like me. Finally, Louise is simply a lovely person—plein de perspicacité, de chaleur et d'enthousiasme, ouvert d'esprit et doté d'un bon sens de l'humour”. Jeff.
