I am French and very proud of our linguistic and cultural history, that I share and teach with pleasure. I have lots of experience with international students and have traveled the world (Alliance Francaise, Russia, Mauritania, Belgium). Quite recently I moved with my family to the department of "the Herault" to live the Mediterranean life while keeping working with my passion: sharing the French language! That's why I created the Talkative Frogs!
