Rafael is an unusually gifted teacher. He has a very natural way of engaging all of his students to participate in the group. Rafael has a number of students, like myself, who have been learning with him for 3 or more years. This says a lot about a teacher. Clearly, no one is getting bored or feeling that they are not making progress with their French! As a student with Rafael, you will continue to be challenged while at the same time completely enjoying your learning. Rafael offers lessons that expand your language learning, and your understanding of the culture, literature, history, and contempory life of the French speaking world.
