Class Information

   
  HS French 1
   
   Recommended for Grades 8-11 Material Fee- $20 I will provide students with the material. We will cover a wide range of vocabulary, as well as beginning grammar concepts, including 4 rudimentary verb tenses. The class is open to the beginner- but he or she will need discipline, especially during the first few months, in order to properly dive in. It is equivalent to 1 credit of French, with the expectation that your child devotes 3/ 4 hours towards French study per week. For new students who are not quite ready for such a commitment, I recommend they instead take the introductory French class. Over the summer, I highly recommend any newcomers familiarize themselves with French by using a free app, such as Duolingo.
   
  Instructor: Garfield, Whitney
  Instructor Bio:
  Bonjour! My name is Whitney. While not a native speaker, I worked and studied in France for five years, igniting a passion for all things French- the culture, the people, and their beautiful language. After earning a diploma and various language certifications through the University of La Rochelle, I then spent three years in Bordeaux, studying Foreign Applied Linguistics. I am well acquainted with many of the Palaestra staff, and grateful to them for this unique privilege of teaching French to your children- in smaller classes, within a Christian context. The curriculum will be both flexible, and integrative, meeting your child wherever they are, and immersing them as deeply as our time together will allow. Along with these classes, I will also offer tutoring.
