Here in Seattle we recently had the good fortune of making the acquaintance of Virginie Blackmoor, a longtime French teacher and recently confirmed Seattleite, whose business, French Truly, is quickly winning over the hearts and minds of local French students.
Raised in a small town outside Lyon, Virginie has traveled extensively and brings to her classes a fresh, dynamic approach to teaching, taking classes out of the classroom.
Rather than torturing her students with endless verb drills, she organizes relaxed conversation groups, role-playing sessions, movie nights with French wine and cheese, entertaining field trips, and creative presentations on different aspects of French culture, language and history.
Sign up for one of her programs, and you'll walk away not only with new language skills, but with valuable insights into the French way of thinking and behaving -- tips that are far more useful than having perfect grammar!
Virginie's infectious enthusiasm and sense of humor puts students at ease and makes learning a pleasure rather than a chore. And pleasure is an art the French know better than anyone, n'est-ce pas?
