Do I need to practice or do homework between lessons?
This is entirely up to you, and it depends on the amount of time you are willing to allocate to learning French. Many of my students do not do "homework". Those who do, either use a textbook with exercises, or spend 15 mins. per day on DuoLinguo or alikes. Some like to practice writing on GoogleDocs (our shared environment) and together we review their production, making the necessary corrections and practicing the pronunciation.
Can YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION IN FRANCE?
I can definitely help you understand the options and what is important to know. What to look for in French (signage, abbreviations, etc.) and how to ask for help in French to find your way.
CAN YOU ACCEPT 2 PERSONS DURING THE LESSON?DO YOU TEACH CHILDREN?
Yes! Participants may be located in the same place or not. The lessons take place on Zoom. Children are welcome as long as they can concentrate for at least 30 minutes online. With children between 8-12, I will share my screen so they do not have to log in GoogleDocs, However, the material discussed during the class will be available for their parents.
