I found it very beneficial to receive instruction and coaching on how to make vowel/consonant sounds that are difficult for non-native french speakers to hear and pronounce. I also appreciated having someone listen to me and give me direct feedback on my french pronunciation.
For the last two years, I have taken one course each session at AFT, "Parlons Chansons". My goal there is to maintain some French speaking and listening each week, and to enjoy myself while doing it. The course with Dominique definitely meets each of my goals.
