Fantastic experience: I’ve been having beginner french lessons with Anne for well over a year now. Anne has created a welcoming environment suitable for all abilities to meet new people and become more confident speaking french. It’s made my trips to France much better as I can now converse and understand what is happening around me. Anne also adds practical interest into each session, teaching you bits about french culture and customs. If you’re considering enhancing your friend speaking skills definitely would recommend classes with Anne.

Bonjour Sheffield

Merci beaucoup Holly, I can't wait to hear all about your trip to Rouen !

Emma Peasland Published on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: Learning French with Anne is really fun and practical. I've just finished my first term learning French with Anne, which has been fun, relaxed and informative with loads of opportunities to practice speaking and without lots of grammar drills but instead, with practical ways to approach conversation in France.

Bonjour Sheffield

Merci Emma, looking forward to seeing you next term!

Barbara Heap Published on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: I’m really enjoying my Tuesday evening conversation classes with Anne and feel very motivated to recover all the French language I once seemed to know a long time ago. Anne brings a variety of materials for the classes- games, film , many visual prompts on screen…. We are treated to waiter- service for drinks as we chat our way through 1.5 hours! A very lovely venue at a local pub/restaurant. I always go home with a few grammar points / new vocab to try to revise/learn for next time. I’d love the class to be even longer! Thank you Anne.

Bonjour Sheffield

Merci beaucoup Barbara, I am very glad you are enjoying the classes!

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing and very friendly class for under-5s. My 3yr old granddaughter and I love it!

Fantastic experience: Merci beaucoup Anne, for providing such wonderful French classes this year! My son has enjoyed them immensely and it has been a joy to see his progress. At home he loves to count in French and practise new vocab. He also had a lot of confidence when we visited France in June and charmed everyone by greeting them and holding small conversations. He can’t wait to return in September and his little sister is excited to join him. We would recommend Anne’s classes to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Anne is fantastic!!! Small friendly classes, very relaxed, no pressure just lots of encouragement which is exactly what I was looking for. Just signing up for my third course. Would highly recommend!!

Libby Jones Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My son loves attending Anne's French class for under 5's. Thanks to Anne's engaging, fun, relaxed and friendly approach my son has gone from refusing to enter the room at the start of our first session to singing some of the French songs we've learnt at the top of his voice at home. Anne uses a great mix of games, songs, props, craft and imaginative play to make learning French easy and enjoyable. As a bonus my French has significantly improved too!

Bonjour Sheffield

Merci beaucoup Libby, I must say his singing was absolutely amazing in our last session!
