Bonjour, je m'appelle Dillon. Ciao, mi chiamo Dillon. Hola, me llamo Dillon.
Born and raised in Canada, I've been surrounded by lots of different cultures and languages my whole life. I have a degree in French and Italian Studies; and I also speak Spanish. Over the years, I have picked up a bit of Portuguese, Mandarin, and Dutch also. One of my passions is travelling around the world. My travels have taken me to almost 30 countries, and I have met friends in many countries, using my fluency in French, Italian, and Spanish.
Outside of my work on Udemy, I am a College French professor, a travel blogger (on The Travelling Linguist), and a YouTuber. I enjoy teaching on Udemy to help people from all around the world learn French and other languages. Check out the courses I offer to allow me to help you achieve your language learning goals!

It was a really nice course, because it teaches a lot about certain topics that aren't touched in another courses. I really encourage people to make this course, because although I already know a lot of basic french, this course helps me a lot to practice and learn new things that i didn't know.

Kursun Être ve Avoir bölümlerinde kendi sitesine yönlendiren bir link var ancak o link çalışmıyor. Onun haricinde bir sıkıntı çekmedim, eğer İngilizceniz varsa rahatlıkla anlayabilirsiniz.

Good overall course. Helped me achieve a good groundwork in learning the language. Often speaks too fast to follow, and could elaborate more on pronunciation and sentence structure.

it was good
By Sultana Tasnima on 9/21/2020
i wish he could elaborate more on those pronunciations. It is a very short and fast video. Have to pause many times to understand his pronunciation.
By Vincent Nyakomitta on 9/13/2020

The tutor is going too fast

VERY USEFUL, I WOULD RECOMMEND IT.
By Gerardo Rodriguez Ortega on 8/11/2020
The teacher doesnt always pronounce all words shown. Some videos are edited very badly and the supporting text doesnt match what he is saying. Also missing some additional material or resources that help us remember what we have seen, for example, a pdf with all the pronunciation tips so you can have a reference.
