Teaching
I teach French and Italian at Baruch College, CUNY. In my classes students practice in pairs and groups, working through interactive exercises that I design and build with Claude, Anthropic’s AI assistant, and checking their answers as they go.
Exercises built with Claude Sonnet 5.5 (Anthropic).

Elementary French, open to everyone
An open French course I’m building for anyone who wants to learn the basics: no enrollment, no affiliation, no prior knowledge needed. It is at an early stage: for now it includes only the preliminary chapter, and more chapters, grammar explanations and practice activities will be added over time.
