Reviews of professor Sophia Benkiran

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She is a great teacher than most in the French department. She is patience and tries to level the pace even though the pace of Elementary French is quick. You have to keep up and ask questions if you do not understand. If you do so, you'll pass with a good grade. However, that's like any language class. Prepare to study and expect exams every week.

She is a native french speaker and when taking intermediate she expects you to be able to speak french fluently when most students were taking it for the GE requirement. The class was very difficult and it was hard to pass if you skipped because you had to know what was coming up

Not a good teacher for Introduction to French. Native French speakers even saw that she skipped through introductory lessons and immediately went on to more intermediate content that was impossible to keep up with if you've never taken French before, unless you're willing to teach yourself outside of the classroom just to pass. Don't choose her.
