FrenchRev

We are a small group of professional educators who trust in our students and in the power of the unconscious, natural processes working in the human mind that help us construct language over time.

We operate on the demonstrable propositions that language is abstract, complex, and implicit and that a primary ingredient in acquisition is comprehensible input borne out of communicative situations. Explicit instruction of the “old rules” is either ineffective or, worse, something wasteful and from which one needs to be healed. Modern linguistics (Chomsky’s dissertation on Universal Grammar has now been around for over 60 years) has made clear that those old rules correspond to no psychological reality of language.

We at FrenchRev create the basis for acquisition through near total immersion with age-appropriate and level-appropriate interaction. Sabrina’s and Elisabeth’s web of engaging meaning gently challenges without drowning learners in a senseless stream of sound. Come join the fun and put your French-learning chops into gear!
