  • I would recommend this class to anyone who is interested in learning an additional language! The course is structured in a way that promotes learning (and applying) the language for use in the real world. The course is not too heavy, however, it is important that you stay on top of material as it can become overwhelming if you let it accumulate. The professor will expect you to build sentences, paragraphs, and even small essays. The professor, Fatima Mota, is absolutely exceptional. I would recommend this class to anyone looking to learn an additional language.

  • There was a lot of vocab, not a lot of grammar and sentence structure.

  • Really easy course to do well in, especially if you have a solid base in the language already (family background) or speak French well. Even people who were new to the language did well in it.
