What is Fast French?
Heather Palmer
French Instructor
Heather Palmer has more than 20 years experience teaching French. Her passion for the language began when she was an exchange student to France in her early teens. The joy of experiencing another language and culture led her to Middlebury College in Vermont where she majored in French and lived in Paris for a year. She brings energy and enthusiasm with her to every class she teaches, giving students the skills and confidence to communicate willingly and fearlessly in French.
Content and methodology
"Communicate willingly and fearlessly."
Fast French with Madame Palmer offers a communicative approach to French instruction. The courses are designed to help students develop practical language skills that can be used in real-life situations. I believe that learning a language should be fun and engaging, and the classes reflect that philosophy. Using a natural approach to language acquisition, I employ Comprehensible Input (CI) strategies that enable the learner to understand the message being communicated and provide repetition and practice. Whether you're planning a trip to a French-speaking country or simply want to learn a new language, Fast French with Madame Palmer will help you develop the confidence and skills to interact in the language.
