We are very grateful for the work and dedication of Marie-Catherine and her team of teachers. Our daughter (now almost 8) has taken both before school and weekly week-end classes.

Sophie Sayaque at ABC Languages has been my daughter's French instructor for close to 7 years. My…read moredaughter (now 18) is going off to college and will have her last French lesson this week. Sophie is an AMAZING language instructor!!! She uses art, music, cooking, literature and film to teach French and also provides VERY entertaining insights into French culture and attitudes. Just to illustrate her teaching style, several of my daughter's lessons consisted of cooking classes where Sophie would provide an ingredient list for authentic French recipes ahead of time and then at lesson time, guide my daughter (via zoom) through the cooking process, while speaking entirely in French. That's another thing that sets Sophie apart from other instructors--she mainly communicates in French. Listening mostly to spoken French and gathering understanding from context clues, really enabled my daughter to become familiar with oral French. Two things point to how spectacular Sophie's French teaching method really works. First, my daughter, who is entering college as a freshman this fall (2026) is very motivated to attain French fluency. She placed easily into an upper level French class just by taking classes with Sophie (never having taken French in school). Second, we took a trip to France in spring of 2026, and traveled through several rural areas where English is not well spoken. My daughter was able to understand and speak the French language with considerable ease. Practicing French during lessons with Sophie--without using English really makes a difference! On a personal note, we know well that Sophie is kind, hilarious, focused and driven. When you sign up to learn French from her, you will learn French!!! My daughter is very sad to have to end her language journey with Sophie, as she goes off to college, but intends to keep in touch with this amazing instructor and friend!
