As a bilingual Canadian the French programs in English schools have\u00a0always frustrated me. I never understood how so many people could graduate from schools after having taken 9-10 years of French. I am so thankful that French was spoken at home and my years leading up to high school were at French schools. When I got my degree, I vowed to change the system – make it better for student speaking and get away from grammar focused lessons, and I’ve never looked back!<\/p>\n

I’m in awe of the Coaches and Facilitators with whom I get to work closely, and it never gets old – I am constantly learning and for this I thank you!
