Where were you born and where did you spend your childhood?
I was born in Provence, in the town of Digne Les Bains and I spent some of my childhood in this region. After that we moved to the Savoie region of the Alps.
What made you move to Morzine?
I came to Morzine for my work and also because I can do all the activities that I love doing here.
What are your hobbies?
When I’m not working in the winter, I like to go skiing, ice-climbing then come home, eat crêpes, read and knit in front of the open fire! In the summer I love hiking, climbing, paragliding and spend the evenings outside with my friends.
When and why did you start teaching?
I started to teach 4 years ago. Why? Because I love sharing my knowledge with people and teaching is above all sharing what we love and what we know with other people.
What is your favourite restaurant in Morzine?
I have never eaten in a restaurant in Morzine, however I know more about the bars and I really like Le Bec Jaune. I would love to try La Chaudanne one day as I’ve heard lots of good things about this restaurant.
What do you enjoy most about teaching?
What I love about teaching languages is that we have an infinite choice of subjects (culture, history, sport, gastronomy, sciences, technology….) so we can easily manage to please everyone. Moreover, we teach languages that are used in the real world so everything I teach can be used outside of the classroom.
What is your favourite French TV programme?
I don’t watch enough TV to say that I have a favourite TV programme but at the moment, I like watching interior design and renovation programmes because I’m doing a renovation project at the moment!
What is your most valuable piece of advice for students learning French?
My advice would be to immerse yourself completely in French language and the French culture. Try to watch as much French television as possible, listen to the radio, look at all of the signs you see in the road, in shops and try to translate them; ask yourself why things are written in that way and not in a different way. That way we will absorb as much as possible as what is around us. My second piece of advice would be: don’t be scared to talk. You will make mistakes but the main thing is to try and have a go. We learn more by making mistakes than by not speaking as we are worried about feeling stupid. Feeling silly isn’t important so just have a go and practice as much as you can as soon as you have the opportunity.
