A fantastic way to learn French! This class is an immersive learning experience that uses hand gestures, songs, and repetition to help students start speaking French faster. Kathryn is an enthusiastic and encouraging teacher that helps students want to learn. I would recommend this course to anyone that has a passion to learn French!

What I enjoyed most about the class was the dynamic and engaging teaching method. It was very different from anything I had experienced before, and I truly appreciated how interactive and lively each class was. I’m certain I learned more in just 9 classes than I would have through a more traditional method. If someone were considering joining, I would tell them it’s a fun, effective, and immersive way to learn French—perfect for all ages and backgrounds. It feels less like studying and more like naturally picking up the language while staying motivated and having fun.

I was initially hesitant to sign up because of the emphasis on participation, but the instructor quickly created a welcoming, encouraging environment where making mistakes felt completely safe. Her energy, humour, and compassion made the class both engaging and fun, and it was clear how much care went into preparing each lesson. The use of gestures, stories, music, and creative activities made learning French feel natural and memorable. I was genuinely surprised to find myself speaking French in the very first class—and even dreaming in French a couple of weeks in.

Kathryn’s teaching style is warm and encouraging, and she has a way of making everything clear and easy to follow. She creates a really supportive environment that makes learning French feel approachable, even when we’re tackling new or tricky words. Her class is perfect for anyone wanting to learn French, whether it’s your second or third language — it’s engaging, paced just right, and accessible for learners at any level. What really stood out to me was how she made the learning process feel simple and manageable, even when the language felt overwhelming at first, especially as a third language learner.”

I have studied a few languages during the course of my life, 40 plus years, at a few different universities, and most had the same method for teaching: study, memorize, test, repeat. While this method worked for me at an academic level, it never really bridged the gap between oral language skills and written language skills. However, the method used for this class really helped me push through that missing gap - the use of hand gestures to reinforce memorization of written and oral was phenomenal. I was able to more easily transition to the use of French for speaking with the gestures, than I have been in the past. I found myself thinking more in French, and less in thinking in English before translating to French. For me this class and method helped accelerate my ability and willingness to try and speak in French because I found confidence in having the hand gestures to help me speak. I would, and will, take this class again in a heartbeat. Also, the teacher is great: helpful, energetic, fun and talented.”
