Mme Andi is amazing! She is incredibly sweet and is willing to help if you are struggling with any concepts. I would definitely recommend doing the VHL (grammar assignments) before class because it helps a lot with comprehension. The class topics are generally easy to learn, but can be a bit complex. Go to office hours if you're struggling!

Love Madame, so so sweet, you can tell she really cares about her students. She gives tons of resources to help u w/ ur French. Open to questions and will help you when you are struggling. Pretty lenient w/ deadlines just let her know. Will miss her for sure next semester, if you take F2030 take it with her!

Best French professor I have had at WashU, and I have taken 3 semesters of French so far. He is a easy grader and he takes a genuine interest in individual students. His class explanations in class were sometimes confusing to me.

Really nice guy. Speaks all in French, all the time, but you get used to it. Is picky when grading, but only to help you learn and still gives you a good grade. Very understanding when you're sick. Homework due for every class. Always offering to meet outside of class if you need more help.

This man on the first day literally said "I understand you're all American, so just try your best." And if you just showed up to class and said bonjour, he really took that try your best seriously. Love him
