I have just finished the first course in French A1.1 and it was amazing! I started to actually know how to have little conversations
(introduce myself and others, ask important questions, count, tell the time and many more). Miss Kahina is such an amazing professor! She is really kind and understanding, she teaches in fun and very helpful ways. I always look forward to attending her
classes, they honestly have been the highlight of my weeks
