Fav french professor

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

Really a great teacher!!! I was ready to stop taking French until I took his class. The classes are straightforward, engaging, and have a clear purpose. (think abt how few classes are like that, esp in French). The readings are difficult enough to be interesting, but he breaks them down in class so I actually always understand them. take his class!

This professor is maybe the closest you can get to actual perfection. He's literally the sweetest person you could ever hope to meet, makes class interesting, and is super helpful at office hours. Make sure you do take the time to study because the quizzes and exams can be tricky! All in all, a perfect french class.

Phenomenal professor who cares about his students. Always very patient, flexible on assignments, and genuinely wants you to succeed in his class. Course was almost too easy but I still felt like I learned (or at least solidly reviewed) a lot of material. Highly recommend taking his classes if you can!

Probably one of Washu U's best language teachers. He was nice, helpful, and flexible almost to a fault. The coursework was generally easy, but the class still covered a huge amount of ground in one semester. Magnifique!

Jouane is the reason I am still taking French classes. I was going to quit but his teaching was so great that now I can speak the language and love it
