French 3: Apprenti (Manhattan)
Pia and Hugo are excellent teachers! They always explained everything clearly and took the time to write everything on the blackboard. Enjoyed the classes immensely! Highly recommended. -
French 1: Beginner
This course was such a pleasure that I looked forward to it each week. I've never had any ability with languages--and was terrified--but this class had me speaking in French right away. The class was small (between 4-6 people each week), which made it very personal. In class we spent time answering questions in French, conversing together, reviewing homework, learning new lessons, and practicing reading comprehension and pronunciation. The instructor, Gregory Rittiner, is smart and funny and an excellent teacher. Il est un professeur merveilleux! Each week he found new ways to get us speaking and practicing what we'd studied, which kept the classes interesting. He supplemented the textbook with additional handouts, including songs and poems, and he made every class lively and fun. There were a lot of laughs. A LOT. But he also challenged us and kept us focussed and on-task. I highly recommend this class and this instructor. J'adore cette classe. -

This class took place on 02/02/2017 and was taught by William. This was a fun class. It seems like a very friendly school and is decorated nicely. I wound up signing up for French 1 with the school and am excited for classes to start. -
French 1: Beginner
The Beginner French Languguage class through City Speakeasy has been wonderful! All of the people there are super friendly. Gregory, my French teacher is awesome! He is very approachable, entertaining and a great teacher. The class is very interactive and it includes a lot of conversations which help to get you out of your comfort zone. I would recommend City Speakeasy to anyone looking for a French Foreign language class in New York City!!! -
