My abilities to speak and write French have been improved.

I learned so much about concepts in grammar and French history, media, and art. I was able to connect pieces of my knowledge from previous French courses, and work towards gaining greater confidence when reading, writing, and speaking.

If you're looking for a french class that doesn't make you do grammar drills and lets you be creative this is for you 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2024 Course: FRENUN3131_001_2024_3-THIRD-YEARCONVERSATIONFRI : FRENUN3131_001_2024_3 - THIRD-YEAR CONVERSATION FR I Instructor: Laurence Marie

Great teaching, not a ton of homework, you feel like you know French a lot better when you're done (don't worry if you feel clueless in the first few weeks- you'll come to realize that it's not as challenging as you think once you immerse yourself in the language!) 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2023 Course: FRENUN3405_001_2023_3-THIRD-YEARGRAMMAR&COMP : FRENUN3405_001_2023_3 - THIRD-YEAR GRAMMAR & COMP Instructor: Alexandra Borer

I learned how to write and read on a very advanced level in French. This course helped my approach to all literature, regardless to language, in numerous ways.

learned a lot more colloquial terms and how to speak French like a French native speaker

Extensive grammar and vocabulary, some cultural knowledge lessons and activities and oral practice.

I would recommend this French class to any students with background in general French grammar as it was extremely non-intimidating, encourages confidence in speaking, has a reasonable workload, and helpful homework/classwork/assessments.

I know I would've preferred a little bit more of an intense course so I would improve more, but this is a good course for what it is. 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2024 Course: FRENUN3131_003_2024_3-THIRD-YEARCONVERSATIONFRI : FRENUN3131_003_2024_3 - THIRD-YEAR CONVERSATION FR I Instructor: Laurence Marie

It's kinda hard to get as much practice speaking in zoom language classes but the class did the best it could. The ease of access to google translate definitely changed the course but it was still worthwhile. 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Spring 2021 Course: FRENUN3405_002_2021_1-THIRD-YEARGRAMMAR&COMP : FRENUN3405_002_2021_1 - THIRD-YEAR GRAMMAR & COMP Instructor: Alexandra Borer
