​French I and II

Mme Phillips

​Je m'appelle........

My name is Mrs. Phillips..... but in French that would be Madame Phillips with Madame abbreviated to Mme. Most students in French classes call their teachers Madame, Mademoiselle or Monsieur.


So I'd love it if you called me Madame.

​Which do you prefer?

​Pizza or Tacos

​"Well done is better than well said."

Benjamin Franklin

​Let's look at a quote!

​Let's Talk about French Class!

Why are you taking a foreign language?

Why did you choose French?

​My Expectations

​I don't expect perfection ... from myself or from you.

I want you to pass.... which means doing some work.
I expect you to listen to me....... I will listen to you.
I want you to tell me when you're lost.... don't just sit there or hide.
Cameras? If it's up to me, I want them on. We will follow the policy.
I am asking you to be patient with me if something glitches.
I'm all about respect. Please respect each other, me and yourself!
RE-do's on written work are a part of the learning process .. IMHO
