📣 🇫🇷 New French class starts next week!

⏱️ This is your last opportunity to sign up for a French course this school year.
🇨🇭 Get empowered to interact with the French speaking community you live in right away.
✨ 🗣️ This is not your typical language center class you find in town. My classes are comprehensible and low stress. We use French from day one and "acquire" the language instead of "learn" about it and freeze when it is time to use it.

Today young people across Switzerland (and other countries) went back to school/ training centers without some of their classmates and friends. Our community will do so next week as well. There is no words for what happened, just being there and hugging our teens a big tighter 🙏🖤🕯️🇨🇭

One of the unexpected places where the US and France meet. Colmar, where French sculptor and creator of the statue of Liberty, Bartholdi was born. The statue given from France to the US has been a testimony of the strong bond between those two countries, my two countries for centuries. Here at the Bartholdi Museum on a grey day in April 2025, this sight stopped me in my tracks. For the first time the US flag looks off next to the French and European flags. 😢 🇫🇷🇺🇸
