Improve your French language skills like never before. Your mastery of French will soar! A select team of four highly qualified Alliance teachers - experts who represent a total of 40 years of experience in teaching French as a foreign language - will tailor a comprehensive 20-hour academic private-lessons package that addresses your specific needs and wishes. Begin with a thorough evaluation in all skill areas: reading, writing, and grammar, speaking, listening, and interaction. Your personalized program will be arranged entirely according to your schedule, with the frequency and duration of lessons that works best for you. Teachers Pascaline Lefèbrve, Aaron Sewall, Francine Chough and Linda Fuchs (Pedagogy Manager) will be ready to start when you are. Celebrate your graduation from the intensive program with an apéritif dînatoire (cocktail party) hosted by Alliance Director Linda Witt and prepared by Aaron Sewall. Finally, the winner's package will be capped off with a celebratory one-on-one lunch with Françoise Aylmer, the Honorary Consul of France in Portland and dean of the Oregon Consular Corps.
