Courses for Bilinguals

April 2020

I just wanted to take a moment to write to say I have been very impressed with how smoothly the transition to online lessons has been. The information and communication provided by AF and especially Amelie for the Les Loutics 3 class has been great, including the regular reminders and of course the power points on Edmodo – as always, it is made really clear exactly what the plan is for the lessons and homework. I am usually involved a bit in helping Ada with the homework, and I find that it is set at just the right level of challenge, and often includes some interesting and creative ideas, like for example the recent collage design project, including giving a short talk. She always says she enjoys the lessons and I think this is in large part due to Amelie’s ability to engage so well with the children.

Very engaging, supportive, positive. Masters Zoom extremely well, uses all features available and clearly makes a huge effort so the classes are interactive and fun. Thank you!

Amelie speaks very clearly, which is important for me. She makes the class enjoyable and ensures we all get a turn to speak.

I am extremely impressed by the quality of the online teaching and with the promptness of the decision by the Alliance to use vide-conferencing — and to provide training for the profs. Melody is outstanding and has a very good on-screen presence.

Tout est absolumment super. Mélody et Hélèna ont continué de faire des cours très intéressants, et il y avait oeu de problèmes technologiques. J’apprecie énormément tous vos efforts, c’est vraiment un plaisir de pouvoir continuer les études de francais.

Merci beaucoup à toute l’équipe et à Mathilde. Charlie est vraiment content que les cours aient pu continuer en ligne.

Many thanks for teaching my son a new language and for the enthusiasm and warmth we see when he attends. The appreciation of travel, culture and people is hugely important to how we want to raise our son and you guys are outstanding role models for how my child perceives the wider world.

My son really struggles to engage with school work.  Amelie has understood perfectly how to motivate him using topics and games that he enjoys, and now he tells me that he “can’t wait” for his next French lesson. Thank you Alliance Française.

I enjoyed the talk on Friday given by Nicolas.  All praise to him for delivering it in such good English.

Je voulais juste dire que moi aussi j’ai aimé ces petits amuse-bouche de la littérature française donnés au cours du book club en ligne pendant le confinement. C’était d’autant plus agréable que je pouvais y accéder de ma ville à 40 km de Cambridge! Merci Gaël pour vos explications sur les auteurs et les textes.

Merci d’avoir mis en place le Book Club en ligne.  Je trouve que nos séances ont été réussies même chez Zoom, tout le monde a eu l’occasion de participer, même plus peut-être que dans notre situation normale. Le choix de courts morceaux – contes, poèmes – a donné la possibilité de beaucoup de variété dans la même heure, la discussion n’a pas tari, et merci à Gaël de nous avoir fourni tant de mises en scène.

I have been happy with all the teachers we have had and all the subject matter – bottom line for me is that it is French and there is always something to learnI am also very much enjoying the Club de Lecture never having been able before Covid to attend.Gael is very ‘sympa ‘ and knowledgable.
