This is much more enjoyable. It also, of course, helps a lot with pronunciation and with vocabulary building. Highly recommended!"
   ~ Paolo, UK

"Makes the language come alive"

"Reading in French helps my French because over time, phrases and words, deepen by osmosis and I look up new words and am occasionally able to remember them." 
    ~ Mandy, London

"I love that you're pulling the content from French quotes"

"I looove that you're pulling the content from French quotes. You do an incredible job Ida! Merci beaucoup. Your patience with everyone every morning (matin pour moi) is incredible and it's the perfect start to my day!"          ~ Szeto, Canada

"So happy I found this club"

"Je suis tellement heureuse d'avoir trouvé ce club. Je n'aurais jamais pensé que j'améliorerais mon français comme ça. Je recommande le club à toute personne de tout niveau cherchant à améliorer son français. J'espère que vous ne fermerez jamais ce club."  
      ~ Sherie, USA

"Exactly what a language learner needs"

"J’adore la langue francaise. Nearly everyday since May 1, when I discovered eFrenchCafe, I try to listen or participate. Ida leads us to learn and practice with 5 words, as well as quotations and a bit of conversation. She is always so patient and encouraging. It’s exactly what a language learner needs. It’s always a pleasure"
   ~ Simone, Canada

"At my own pace"

"It has helped expand my French vocabulary. 
One of the challenges of trying to get more confident at speaking French is knowing the turns of phrase, the words and the rhythms of speech in day to day life. This allows me to do this at my own pace, faster or slower depending on the complexity of the language."  
      ~ Lucinda, UK

"You always feel you have learned something"

"After the café you always feel you have learned something and made progress. Ida is very knowledgeable and always willing to answer any questions."  
      ~ Fiona, Ireland

"Friendly, open minded environment"

"My favourite part about French lessons with Ida is being in a friendly, open minded environment, feeling like you can make mistakes and learn from them with your peers"  
      ~ Ieva, Latvia

"Learned new vocabulary"

   ~ Lauren, master ceramist, USA

"I'm really grateful"

"Cela m'a aidé à progresser en français, Ida crée chaque jour des activités pour nous améliorer. Je suis vraiment reconnaissante."
   ~ Nathalie, USA
