I've been working with Angelique for the past year, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. As an adult learner with a busy schedule, I really appreciate how she tailors each lesson to my pace and goals. Every session is not only productive but also enjoyable. If you're looking to learn French, there's no better resource than working with Angelique. Merci beaucoup! read more

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Angelique! She is the most patient person I have ever met. I never thought I would be able to learn Spanish, but I am now speaking and reading it as well! Angelique makes every lesson interesting and fun. She has a way of teaching so it does not feel intimidating. She breaks each lesson down until you understand it. I am so happy I am working with her. She is truly unbelievable. If you want to learn a language, she is the absolute best to learn from! Truly one of the best teachers I have ever had. read more

I needed to get my very dusty French back, after a Long hiatus, and after taking lessons at Speak it Like a Native my grammar and pronunciation came back within a few weeks. Angelique was able to expertly evaluate at which level I needed to commence and the lessons were then tailored to exactly what I needed to be learning. The focused lessons and attention to detail made my re-learning of French very effective. Angelique is extremely professional and organized and I highly recommend Speak it Like a Native for anyone who wants to learn or improve their French! read more

I had taken French classes throughout high school and college, but from the very first lesson with Angélique, I learned new concepts that I was never taught. I also really appreciate her emphasis on pronunciation, because this was something I didn't get as much in group settings. She skillfully breaks down sounds and teaches them in a way that sticks. She also creates her own materials, and I swear she has thought of everything! And even though she has lessons she has created that you go through in a certain order, she tailors each session to your needs, which I really appreciate. Whether you are just starting out with French or have some prior knowledge, I cannot recommend her enough! read more

I have been taking French lessons with Speak It Like A Native for almost a year, starting as a complete beginner. Angélique made it accessible to start learning from 0. She has passion for teaching language that makes it so fun to learn. In the moments of frustration that come with learning a new language, she is there to help you transform your frustration back into excitement and motivation. I feel confident knowing I am learning the language with a solid foundation and with a native speaker who is so exacting about pronunciation. I trust she will only accept the best, so it is extra rewarding when you pronounce something correctly and get her stamp of approval! Overall, Angélique is not only a great teacher, she is a really wonderful person who has shared wisdom and kindness beyond just learning French! I will study with her as long as I am able and you should too! read more

I've been taking private French lessons with Angelique for the past year and a half. She's a dedicated teacher with a rigorous program. If you're serious about learning from the fundamentals, she helps build a foundation so that you have a strong understanding of the grammar and pronunciation before diving into conversation. Just like any language, it takes time and consistency to really become fluent and Angelique makes it a fun process! read more

https://drveronica.com/medical_intuitive_services/ My goal is to be able to live in France part time and have an income producing opportunity there with my French speaking husband. His family is all there and I enjoy visiting them at least once a year but I have become frustrated because I am unable to participate in the conversations. I get the gist of what is going on but I would like better for myself. Plus, its about keeping my brain agile and the number one way to do that is to learn a new language. Angelique is a wonderfully skilled and talented French instructor. She's also a perfectionist which means that you will get the pronunciations and grammar rules correct so that you will be understood by native speakers. I can do the different "R" sounds now that exist in French that have no parallel in English. Angelique has unique ways to train the muscles if your mouth and throat so that you get it right. She send recording for you to practice with and her ears are like the mother with eyes on the back of their head-She hears every everything and will not let ANYTHING slip. And that is how it should be. My husband is a native French speaker and in my early attempts to learn with another teacher, my husband would look at me confused and say "Huh? Huh? Huh?". No more of that. He smiles so big because he is able to hear my improvement even when I cannot perceive it myself. I've been with Angelique for 9 months and already I can understand more and actually answer questions in our conversations about the material. There were days when I wanted to cry (and I did) because it seemed like it wasn't coming.I would practice and hope to move on and she would say-no you aren't there yet. Of course she was right but my heart would be so heavy those days. I am used to being a high achiever and things happening fast. This is exercising a completely different part of my brain and it is coming. I'm looking forward to our next trip to France because I want to burst forth with more French cuz you know-French people look at you like-you should speak our language. I know you are here for only 1 or 2 weeks but still....you should speak perfect French-even though they speak not a lick of English. Angelique will get me there and you too if you are smart like me and you hire her (and practice regularly) read more

I have been studying Spanish with Angelique for over 5 years. After an exhaustive search for a Spanish teacher, I turned to yelp and found her great reviews. I figured I would give it a try and five years later I am enjoying it as much as my first lesson! I have been very fortunate to find such a patient and dedicated teacher. Every lesson is meticulously planned out and tailored to you and your interests. I look forward to our classes and have grown to enjoy her not only as a teacher but a friend. It also helps that now I am fluid in Spanish, thank you Angelique!! I highly recommend Speak It Like A Native, Angelique is an amazing teacher and I am so lucky to have met her. read more

Speak French Like a Native is a very good name for Angelique's service. First of all she is a typical French Woman (if there is such a thing), very professional, very exacting, a little formal at first which makes getting to know her all the more rewarding. She has a great mastery in teaching the nuances of the language, of which are many and make all the difference in a sophisticated speaker. She loves her work and that's infectious. I came to her with four years of rusty high school french and she got me into shape for 2 weeks in France. Much of what she taught me didn't jell until I was there but what a diffence it made! The people actually understood what I was saying where before I'd get those puzzled looks even though I thought I was speaking their language. Angelique zeroed in on my weaknesses and we concentrated on fixing those. I'm sure she shapes her lessons to what the student needs. Pronunciatiion, Vocabulary, Gammer, Reading and Idium you'll get it all in proportions that best suit you. Be ready to invest in some lessons, they're adictive. read more

Angelique is a fantastic French teacher. Her personality and wit make each lesson thoroughly enjoyable. She has written her own curriculum. Hence, she has the flexibility to tailor each session to address the specific needs of each student and to cover cultural aspects of the language not addressed in standard textbooks. This proved to be extremely advantageous for me. My wife and I were moving to Paris and I had only ten weeks to learn as much French as possible. Angelique met with me three times a week and took me through a year's worth of material. To avoid overwhelming me, she incorporated cooking lessons and art viewing/discussions about once a week. These sessions simulated being immersed in the language, as she would conduct the entire session in French. Absolutely brilliant! One of the best things about her program is her attention to detail. She is a very particular about pronunciation. This kind of focus on shaping sounds, vowels and diphthongs is something that computer programs and group classes cannot address. I highly recommend Angelique! read more

Learning French with Angelique is such a pleasure. She is not only experienced, observant and patient as a teacher, but also such a bright light as a person. You will have so much fun taking classes with her! I am about finished with the beginner's French syllabus, and look forward to continuing my studies with her. You get a great balance of oral/reading comprehension and grammar/writing exercises, as well as fun surprises I won't give away! While her curriculum is thorough, Angelique is also at ease with straying from the outline to fit my needs. Moreover, she puts in great effort to answer my questions and put a cultural spin on the material. Enrich your experience by asking tons of questions! read more

I've been taking French lessons with Angelique since July. And I'm absolutely impressed with unique teaching method she developed. Moreover, she has a very personal approach and helps each student depending on what they need or having trouble with. I was absolutely stuck having problems memorizing anything and wasn't able to move forward, Angelique had a conversation with me and was able to figure out what would help me and how to approach it and for next class I was able to prepare using her advice and it worked! I'm very thankful. And look forward to continue learning. read more

Angelique is a terrific teacher for the Spanish language. Her technique is unique and very easy to comprehend. I have never been bored with Angelique and I found that she genuinely cares about my progresses in Spanish. She also introduced me to the Spanish culture. My lessons with Angelique helped me be at ease with speaking Spanish with natives. I love you, Angelique! read more

My goal is to learn French fluently. I've always found that I get a little lost or behind in the classroom, so I thought I'd give private lessons a try. I found Angelique (a native of France) and have been taking lessons with her for about 5 months now. Her method of teaching isn't like any other I've ever seen. It's so much easier to understand when she teaches. We learn something new in every class, so it keeps me motivated. Her patience and ability to break things down for me to understand is amazing. Plus her beautiful French accent is quite inspiring, I can't wait to sound like that :) Give her a try, you will love her! read more

Angelique is a wonderful Spanish teacher! I started taking classes with her in the fall of 2019, and each week since I started, my Spanish has increased exponentially. I always look forward to class with her, as I know I'm going to progress one way or another. She's great at keeping a tight curriculum, while also letting you explore things you may be curious about. She's also very helpful with pronunciation, which is something I've struggled with. Anyways I'm so happy to have found the perfect Spanish teacher and could not recommend her more! read more

Angélique Glennon is an extraordinary teacher! Her methods are unique and extremely effective. Her emphasis on pronunciation from the start ensures that one can be understood in France, even using the simple sentences of a beginner. New material is introduced strategically and helpfully with every lesson, carefully conceived and prepared by Angélique, based on her many years of experience as a teacher and the needs of the particular student. I particularly like the balance of written and oral work that has enabled me to speak French far sooner than I dared hope, and to speak it like a native, as the name promises. You can too if you work with Angélique! read more

I have been studying Spanish with Angelique for several months. Our lessons are always interesting because we do a variety of things each week. Angelique is able to tailor the pace of the lessons to match my individual needs. I enjoy our lessons and definitely feel that my Spanish has improved dramatically. I would highly recommend Angelique! read more

Since moving to LA, I have been interested in studying Spanish just to be more atuned to and immersed in all the fantastic hispanic cultural opportunities here. I have dabbled in other languages, but was a total Spanish newbie when I connected with Angelique 18 months ago. She is a fantastic teacher, very patient and organized, and makes every lesson enjoyable. She has developed her own extensive written curriculum, so there are lots of resources that she can share to support lesson content and tailor it to the individual student. Reading and writing in Spanish came quickly and now that I am gaining confidence as a Spanish speaker, I'm planning my first trip to South America. read more

I have already learned more of the French language in just a few lessons from Angelique than I did from entire French courses elsewhere. Angelique is very precise in her instruction and provides the structure of the language as a firm foundation to learn advanced concepts. Her attention to detail gives you confidence in your ability to master this language. I highly recommend Speak it Like a Native if you want to learn French the correct way! read more

I've always wanted to learn French, so a month ago, I started taking French Lessons. I was really surprised to see how quickly I was grasping the language. It really challenges my brain and feels like it's opening parts of my mind that I forgot existed. Just like a muscle that hasn't been worked on in a long while. Angelique is a fantastic teacher with a great teaching technique, that enables me to really focus and understand. I admire her patience and encouragement. Angelique is helping me fulfill a childhood dream. read more

I am in the healthcare field and always wanted to speak to my Spanish patients without a translator. Since starting my lessons with Angelique, I have been growing confidence in my ability to communicate in Spanish. The things that make her unique include: -One-on-one lessons (tailored to your ability, interest, and provides quick feedback) -Flexible hours (fits in your schedule) -Fun (she is very encouraging and patient) If your goal is to learn a second language, I highly recommend Speak It Like A Native with Angelique. Thank you!! read more

After having lived in Paris, France for 4 months, I want to say that I am even more impressed with the quality of Angelique's lessons! And I want to update my already positive review (which you can read below). I took 10 weeks of lessons with her before moving to Paris, and I can say that she provided an exceptional foundation for my language learning. At this point after living in Paris for 4 months, I can engage in conversations with ease and follow the course of a group discussion (without understanding every word). Particularly crucial was Angelique's emphasis on learning the correct "sounds" in French (before moving to constructing sentences). This may seem boring and frustrating to begin with intensive attention to forming basic sounds in French, but it is vital for successful longterm language acquisition. Regularly here in Paris, people express astonishment at how good my accent is and how well they can understand me. Yesterday, after being introduced to a Parisian woman and chatting with her for a while in French, she asked me if I had been speaking French since I was a child. She was completely astonished that I have only been living in France for 4 months and that I only had a limited period of formal lessons prior to my arrival. I credit all of this to Angelique's unique and amazingly effective techniques for teaching French. Thank you Angelique!!! read more

Words cannot properly express what an incredible French language instructor Angelique is. She is dedicated to her students ensuring the highest level of grammar, speaking and writing French. Anyone wanting to learn and master French would be lucky to have her instructing them. She also happens to be a wonderful and caring person. She's simply amazing!!!! I highly recommend Angelique and her classes. read more

Speak It Like A Native is like no other language class I've taken before -- it's fun! Angelique is an excellent teacher and makes the French language come alive for me with her fantastic cultural insights. I highly recommend Speak It Like A Native, whether you're learning for travel or just to enrich your life. It's worth every minute." Lorna Hennington, J.D. read more

I was entering my 4th year of French in High School, meaning it was an AP class, and I was struggling right off the bat. But then I found Angelique, and she helped me find the root of my problems in French and our lessons thereafter were all personalized towards what I needed to improve on the most. We worked on worksheets, pronunciation activities, conversations, and my favorite: looking at her own art work and discussing it in French. Her teaching style is very personal and I never felt embarrassed when I would say something incorrectly, she would just guide me on how to say it correctly for the next time. Her attitude was always cheerful, even meeting her at night after a long day she would greet me at the door with a huge smile and welcomed me warmly into her home to start our lesson. At the end of all of our lessons, I felt like I took away the ability to have a conversation with someone in French much more fluidly than I would have ever been able to before meeting her. I would highly recommend taking lessons from Angelique no matter what level of French you consider yourself at. Like I said before, each lesson is geared directly towards you and nothing feels systematic when it comes the lovely Angelique. read more

I contacted Angelique with an emergency: I needed to learn some basic Spanish quickly for a possible job opportunity. She wasn't daunted by the challenge. She's an excellent teacher, very organized and resourceful. She works with a textbook and exercises, assigns and checks homework, and sends you home with recordings to listen to and practice. She takes her job seriously -- she's strict about missed classes or last-minute cancellations -- and has great energy and patience in personal instruction. I learned a lot in a short time. If you're serious about learning to speak Spanish (or French), she's terrific. Muchas gracias, Angelique! read more

I have tried learning other languages before and never succeeded so I started with Angelique with a hearty skepticism. She quickly removed that skepticism and converted me to a believer, in her teaching methods and my ability to learn Spanish. She is patient and very clever in finding ways to help you in your specific way of learning to have you get the best results. It is always fun and challenging and I look forward to it every time. I highly recommend Angelique and Speak it Like a Native! read more

Angelique is a gifted teacher. Not only has she worked out ways to approach learning a language in easy to manage pieces, but also she's very supportive of her students' efforts. She greets me with a smiling "bonjour" and then we're off to a jam packed hour that combines grammar, reading aloud, and conversation. I feel that I'm learning the living language, that I will (someday) be able to converse in French the way that people use the language today. read more

I am taking both French and Spanish with Angelique and she is a wonderful teacher! She is very passionate about languages and cares a lot about your learning. Her teaching style is structured in that you will get homework, writing and reading materials, grammar, etc. But she is very flexible because she tailors the lessons to your need and how fast you are able to learn. She keeps things fun so you always want to learn. I have taken many group classes and I can definitely say I have learned the most and fastest doing one-on-one with Angelique. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in learning a language. read more

Angélique is a superb teacher with great attention to detail; her program for a French student (I am a beginner) includes an array of phonetics, grammar, vocabulary, written exercises, oral exercises and conversation - all in just the right amount for a student at any level. Last year, I tried taking French in a classroom setting at a different school close to my home and while that institution's program was fine for a beginner, I found that I had little opportunity to speak and the pace was rather slow. So after just one class at the other institution I contacted Angélique and immediately signed up for private instruction at Speak It Like A Native. The program that Angélique provided to me has been fantastic with each class presented in a very logical fashion, along with appropriate homework to reinforce the lessons, as well as highly valuable recordings of phonetics, vocabulary and dialog. If you want to learn French, look no further than Speak It Like a Native! You will be inspired to continue learning! read more
