Did you know?
In Europe, second language instruction employs the CEFR scale, spanning from A1 to C2, to assess progress. Conversely, in the United States, educators utilize the ACTFL scale to gauge language proficiency, encompassing Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Superior, and Distinguished levels.
« Ever since I first visited France, I have wanted to learn the language. Throughout the years I have taken several classes and did a subscription to one of the Apps on line, but had trouble retaining it. A good friend of mine suggested that I join him and take private lessons with Veronika. He told me about her background and years of experience, and she lived in France. That was a first for me, a teacher who lives in France. I traveled to France many times, fell in love with Paris and the south of France, but could not speak the language which always bothered me. I let her know that my intention was to learn the language and gain an appreciation for the culture and history of the country.
As an instructor, she is very committed to my success and provides timely feedback and uses meaningful tools and exercises to improve my pronunciation and comprehension. She listens to me and uses my interest in music and the arts and includes videos and pictures to help me learn the language. I love her enthusiasm for teaching and takes her responsibility for my development seriously. Lastly, she has a great sense of humor, wonderful personality and makes learning fun.
I highly endorse her as an instructor and wish you the best. »
