Emmanuelle is LOVELY person! She did not make me feel shy to try out speaking in French- even though it's been many years. She made me feel that I could understand most everything she said during our time together. I chose a market workshop and she shared a lot of information about the market, foods, and the town itself! If you favor learning just pure communication rather than a formal classroom situation, I highly recommend a workshop. I feel like not only have I found a tutor, but a friend! Merci Beaucoup, Emmanuelle!
