Real Voices, Real Feedback: Hear from Our Proud Parents
Dahlia made great progress this year and really likes her teacher. Thank you again!-
Isabelle
The children have made great progress in French thanks to all of you.
Stéphanie
We used FLAM for our teenagers, ages 14 and 16, and the format of the courses perfectly met our expectations. The classes are held twice a week, 1 hour each on Zoom. The teenagers’ teacher, Ingrid, is extremely creative and energetic in keeping her audience’s attention. The content covers grammar/conjugation/vocabulary reminders as well as text discussions, play performances (very interactive, each student plays a character), and even very fun pastry workshops.
Delphine
FLAM offers great value for money as a French learning solution in addition to home learning. Children also develop skills at their level, complementing what they learn at school. For the youngest, it’s a real plus since kindergarten is not mandatory in the US. My daughters really like the question wheel at the beginning of the class, the visual interactive games, the crafts, and the work on stories. We’ve also discovered some book series we love through FLAM.
Ariane
Thank you so much for another great year of learning for my kids! I am very happy that they have this opportunity to study French. Thank you for all your hard work to organize and keep FLAM San Diego going!
Inna
They’ve learned a lot from your courses and were able to communicate clearly with their grandmother from France this year for the first time!
Stéphanie
FLAM is a truly fantastic French school. The quality of the courses and the teachers’ passion is unparalleled. The children expanded their oral and written French skills, and they also learned many other things such as the cultures of the French-speaking world.
Claire
FLAM is an excellent alternative for maintaining French for children who do not attend a French school, and for parents who cannot commit to the CNED (our personal case).
Delphine
The duration, frequency, and day of extracurricular activities are very good. The varied themes are always a pleasant surprise!
Ariane
FLAM’s founder, Rachèle, is truly passionate, and she doesn’t count her hours and commitment to developing this program.
Delphine
What you’re doing is great. Thank you for everything.
Alain
FLAM is a great concept for all French-speaking or Francophone families who want to continue transmitting and bringing our language and culture to life.
Delphine
I have to say meeting FLAM has been my biggest happiness this year! Thank you for all your work and Perrine’s amazing work.
I might also join for some adult classes 🙂
Thank you so much!
Sherry
Alice goes to her French lessons with a smile; she loves Professor Nathalie and her friends. The progress is remarkable; I had no idea she was starting to read French until she spontaneously read a few words in front of me. A wonderful surprise, and I owe it 100% to Professor Nathalie and Alice’s determination to learn.

The boys had a great learning experience. Their teachers were really lovely to work with.
