Bonjour! Je m'appelle Mme Hopkins. I will be your French teacher for the year. I am a DCHS graduate, and I am happy to be back in East Tennessee to teach you French. 

I worked for 17 years in Paris, France, as a modern dancer and a teacher of Gyrotonic. Before that, I worked for dance companies and dance schools in the US. I have a Bachelors degree from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where I studied mathematics. I am recently married. I love dancing, reading, hiking, and watching documentaries.

Welcome to French class. I am so excited to share with students my knowledge and experience of the French language and its related culture. I lived in Paris from 2003 - 2020, so I have a lot of stories to share.

In this course, students will develop skills in order to communicate in French. Students will be able to understand elementary French, spoken and written. Students will also be able to speak with a fundamental, everyday vocabulary and good pronunciation, read and write simple French paragraphs, and discuss and appreciate French culture.
