My Story
Great to meet you! I’m Antonia Cetin.
When I went to school, back in the day, my core French classes were very traditional: in FSL, we learned our grammar, we filled out worksheets, and we did exercises out of the textbook. Even though I was apparently one of those rare people who could learn a language that way, nothing prepared me for the first time I was in a French environment. All of the grammar rules and exercises did not prepare me for an authentic French conversation.
That’s why I decided to develop a series of instructional modules and truly decodable texts geared to the beginning FSL learner. Check them out at www.DecodeHabile.com
Over the last 30 years as an FSL educator and FSL Coach, I have discovered that I love to share with new FSL teachers, and with experienced FSL teachers who know they need to do something differently. I’m an FSL Coach and educator, a certified DELF-DALF and ANL instructor who helps coaches and educators teach French using scientifically proven best teaching practices. I coach FSL educators and coaches to gain confidence in their field, support their students using CEFR principles and NLA techniques, and focus on the joy of teaching FSL.
