Bienvenue. Welcome to French.

Je m’appelle Mlle Tharp. C’est un plaisir d’être avec vous. Moi, je suis de Traverse City, mais maintenant j’habite à Saint Clair Shores avec ma fille Summer et ma chienne Lady. J’aime voyager, parler avec mes amis, lire, et travailler au jardin. Je suis professeur d’ espagnol et français.

SUMMER
