Roadrunner Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 What have I done 😩 So I paid $$$ for this and today they published the course. Oh, the accent of the teacher. My children are rolling over the floor from laughter. I am crying. I can't even get them to sit straight for 30 seconds. This isn't going to work. I surely hope I can drop and get a refund.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctic Bunny Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I must know! What is wrong with the teacher’s accent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is not French!  And now that I wrote this out, I don't know why I was under the impression that we would get videos recorded by native speakers, but we have always worked with native teachers and materials and this just won't do.  Not a good start to a year at all. First math, and now this. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows. My children are spoiled, spoiled bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensonduck Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 That is a bummer it is not a native speaker. I had high hopes for the UC Scout offerings for my kids in a few years. I just came across the Virtual Virginia offerings (they have French up to and including AP as well), but at $375, it’s significantly more costly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s what I paid. I realize we lose $40 if we withdraw, but it is what it is. i wonder if any of those places have native speakers.
