Institut de Touraine


Institut de Touraine - Tours, France
J’aime mon école française! J’aime mes enseignantes, les camarades de classe, et les devoirs. (I am enjoying French language school! I like my teachers, classmates, and homework!)Yes, I am a teacher and I still like school! I began classes on April 30th, three days after arriving. Learning in a French classroom is much different than learning in an American classroom.  I am adjusting to how things are taught. It doesn’t always make sense in my American mind, but I believe it will come. My class consists of 16 students from 10 different countries (China, Japan, Brazil, Taiwan, Thailand, Libya, Kuwait, Korea, and Saudi Arabia.) The teacher is the only Frenchwoman and I am the only American. I speak French with most of them, as that is our common language.
