Other Student Feedback
- “Our education in French immersion gives fluency in reading
and writing, but leaves one ill prepared for world situations and conversations.”
- “Conversation would be a great class to have in French! In
French immersion, we don’t have much opportunity to have everyday conversations in French. If we had this class, my French speaking skills would be much better.”
- “Language is already such a big part of culture and it would
be interesting to learn more about French culture, particularly if you plan/want to live in France or French speaking countries.”
