What can I do to improve my skills in French class?

Even when there is no written work assigned, spend a few minutes 
in study hall or at home reviewing the day.  You didn't learn 
English in just 55 minute sessions a day but by bits and pieces 
all day long.

Is there other help?

Yes. I have "take home tutors" discs you may check out.

What are some of the common abbreviations you use on your web page?

Homework might be shown as devoirs.  Interro is French for quiz, examen means test, not an exam.  I use CA for your workbook, the cahier d'activite.

Do you take students to France?

Lately, this has been a hard decision to make so far ahead of 
time.  Downpayments for trips are due usually by February.  
Sadly, the worldwide political atmosphere makes it hard to plan.  
All I can promise is that I'll look into it and get good advice 
from our administrators and my banker!
A trip to Quebec is a good alternative.

Is there opportunity for extra credit?

Extra points are sometimes offered on tests or quizzes.  Extra 
credit assignments are generally not given.  Too often students 
want to use these instead of doing daily work or showing their 
best effort on a test or quiz.
