Class Description
Open to students of any level who consider themselves devotees of French language and/or French gastronomy, this course uses a relaxed and accepting classroom approach and specially designed materials to teach you to decode the French spelling system and to pronounce French more easily and accurately. The majority of our class time will be devoted to active student participation; hence the class will be limited to no more than twelve students.
Susan Pezzino, a lifetime French-English bilingual and former United States Fulbright Scholar, holds an MA in Applied Linguistics and works as a linguist in private practice, teaching languages and consulting in Chicago.
