I am an American who has been fluent in French for almost 50 years. I became fluent through excellent instruction at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service and two summers in France during those years. I spoke French constantly until I spoke French well. I encourage my students to do the same within a fully supportive environment.
After a 35 year career in the advertising business, I was still fluent through personal effort and taught high school French (all levels, French 1 trough French 5 AP) for an eight year second career. My approach emphasizes speaking and listening, with grammar provided naturally in context.
