OkeyDOC : The French Answer for a better integration
CONVERSATION LESSONS:
Why not join small conversation groups(4 people) to learn the French language basics and practise your French?
The lessons can take place at Sandra's (with complimentary real English tea to feel good!) or at one of the members' place.
With me, you will learn everyday French language, or simply what you want and need to learn! PRIVATE LESSONS: If you need more than the French language basics and prefer to go for private lessons, no problem!

COOKERY LESSONS:
Discover the French"art de vivre" If you have already been to a French food market, you have probably wondered how to cook some of the produce that look so appealing, not daring to ask for fear you might look or sound ridiculous.
Well, if nobody has ever taught you what these foods are, and how you are supposed to prepare them, don't blame yourself!
Here is an example of my "Yummydokey" sessions:
- 9.00 At Challans's market place( Tuesday or Friday): look around the market, purchase of the produce for the day's recipe.
- 10.00 Visit at the wine shop to find out what to drink with the day's meal.
- 11.00 Cookery class at Sandra's.
- 12.30 Lunch "à la française".
If you are a vegetarian, please feel welcome ! I can organise vegetarian meals too!
