Everyone can learn a foreign language. It's a question of providing an environment that catches students' attention and encourages all to participate. We use a variety of classroom activities to reach all individual learning styles and we set high (but attainable) goals for learners.

I encourage students to:
        •  look at the world from a different perspective (from other cultural viewpoints)
        • realize that there is more than one way to see the world and to organize a society
        • appreciate and accept others
        • look critically at their own culture
        • take what is of value from other cultures and incorporate them into their own.
