About Waldo

I took French for 2 years in school and I really enjoyed it. I know how much it means to someone if they can speak their home language, so if anyone is wanting to learn French I would be able to help in the basic conversation and comprehension.

About Zoë

French I wish I learned from birth, my mom speaks it fluently and I am so jealous about this! In university, I was finally able to fulfil my dream of studying the language. I do a little bit of French every single day; making my phone's language French, reading an article, or listening to a song.
