About Shannon:

Learning another language is one of the most educational things one can do!

I fell in love with the French language at the age of 12, when I first took it in school. From that day forward, I knew I wanted to make a career out of my French language skills. Twenty-five years later, with a Master's in French Translation, substantial study at major universities in France, and 10+ years professional experience in the translation and localization industry, it is still a passion of mine and I love to share that passion and knowledge about such a beautiful language with students.

My learning philosophy is all about immersion: if the ideal scenario of living and breathing in the foreign country is not possible, the next best thing is to surround yourself daily with the language by reading, speaking and watching foreign-language TV. I try to speak as little English as possible in my sessions. My beginner students have been able to carry on conversations in just a few weeks!

My background includes:

- Master's in French Translation from the prestigious Monterey Institute of International Studies

- 2 years post-graduate study at L'Institut Supérieur d’Interprétation et de Traduction (ISIT) in Paris, France

- Bachelor's Degree in French (with emphasis in Linguistics) from the University of California, Irvine

- 1 year undergraduate study at l'Université de Lyon II, Lyon, France

- 10 years translation/localization experience working as an in-house translator, as well as a localization consultant for 2 major localization firms.

Fall in love with the French language just as I did!
