    JP linguistics is a great place! I had the wonderful Pauline as my French teacher who helped me…read morereview everything I needed. She really accommodated to my needs and adjusted each lesson based on it which I appreciate! It helped me get back into it with more confidence and I am now continuing to use all she helped me with and prepared me for. Can't recommend her enough, she's the best!

    I would recommend JP linguistics to anyone who is interested in learning a foreign language stress…read morefree! I took an advanced intermediate 10-week French course with JP, and it was a great learning opportunity. Whenever I learn a new language, my biggest fear is to actually speak the language because I am afraid that my counterpart wouldn't understand me, and if he/she doesn't, I wouldn't know how else to explain my ideas without speaking English. Not only is JP very approachable and friendly, but JP is also a very professionally qualified instructor (as he also teaches some French classes at NYU) and can immediately detect what you are trying to say and offers you with better ways (i.e. how natives would say) to express your ideas. JP sincerely wants to get to know everyone as much as he can and follows up with you so that he can be of help if you intend to continue to improve your language skills. My job requires lots of hours in winter, so I couldn't register for classes, but I will definitely be looking in spring if I could fit a class in my schedule.

    took Coucou's online placement test and was placed into an intermediate-level class. Unfortunately,…read morethe placement was not accurate. There was no real evaluation, just an online quiz, and when I arrived in the class, I quickly realized after a few sessions that it didn't match my needs at all. The class was pure conversation with no grammar explanations, no structure, and no rules, which made me feel completely lost. I actually needed more grammar-focused support, not just conversation. When I tried to switch levels, I wasn't offered a proper solution. Instead, I was only given about 70% credit for my remaining classes, with a two-month expiration. I couldn't use it because I was traveling, and their response time was slow, so the credit essentially became useless. Overall, I was disappointed with how the placement was handled and how inflexible the school was in helping me find the right level. I expected a more supportive and structured experience.

    For nearly $500 for a group class for 10 sessions- go elsewhere! The reason I selected Coucou is…read morebecause Coucou touted themselves as "teaching French... with a focus on conversation and informal interactions, all the while following a thorough grammar curriculum." The classes focused 95% on grammar, with conversations limited to my teacher, Angele who asked each student what they did for the weekend/ what did we do since we last met, and we answered in French. She reviewed our homework by having each student read their homework out loud in French. She corrected our grammar and accents. Her teaching style was abrupt and rushed. Not welcoming or encouraging. She didn't look at our homework, so who knows if our spelling was correct? She followed the exercises in the handbook, with each student taking a turn to answer. The only visual aid was a chalkboard. When the teacher wrote in the board, we all hurried to copy down her points, then she stood in front of the board, so we couldn't read it. A smart board would have been a much better option. I only made it to the 6th class, because when I struggled to answer, Angele said nothing -no prompting from her- and it was embarrassing to sit there with no help from the teacher, with total silence in the class. She did this also to another make student. It made me feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. Isn't the teacher supposed to prompt? I've taken Latin, Spanish and Italian classes taught by professional teachers, and they always prompted you. As another reviewer said, the teachers seemed more excited to see each other than their students. I'm now having more success with my French using free YouTube lessons - "The Complete French with Dylane."
