Madame Biggin was my French teacher in grade 9, 11, and 12. She was the only reason why I took French 12, and she made me want to become more proficient at the language. She’s a very nice person who sometimes has her kindness taken advantage of by rude students. If you make a genuine effort in her class to speak French and to learn, you will do well. She doesn’t punish people for not understanding, only for not trying. But do study and try to get MOST of your homework done.

This teacher focuses too much on memorization/vocab which creates a dull, uninspiring learning environment.
