« Learning a new language with all of the resources available today seemed easy, until I decided to try it. I quickly realized that I needed someone to help me organize my goals and work through the process.
I find that both ladies offer different things that are important for language learning. I can work on technical aspects of language and the general process of adding more language skills in a methodical way with Mikayla and work on conversation (specifically everyday vocabulary and common usage of the language/cultural concepts) with Sarah.
Both Mikayla and Sarah encouraged me to work through my reasons for learning a new language, helped me set future goals, and have tailored my process to meet my needs specifically. They have also both been extremely encouraging.
Their insight and experience with going through this process with their students is invaluable and I just want to thank them both for their time, experience, and encouragement to me personally. »

« After travelling to France many times during the years and trying to learn the language, I decided it was time to seriously commit to learning the language, but felt I now needed more than my textbooks and online tools.
Unable to find any local courses, Sarah at Pardon My Learning was recommended to me, so with nothing to lose, I gave it a try and although feeling, nervous and slightly embarrassed, I had my first lesson in September 2022.
Sarah was brilliant, kind, and we had so much fun and straight away Sarah put me at ease and now 9 months on, l love both my private and group lessons and I really look forward to them each week.
Although challenging at times, the pace is comfortable, we have lots of fun and the topics we discuss are so enlightening. During group lessons we discuss so many fascinating topics and I have learnt so much more than I would imagine I could during this time, including information about the French culture, history, and numerous other things.
I am very much looking forward to our next cycle trip to the French Mountains.
Merci beaucoup Sarah ! »

« Bonjour, Fellow Francophiles!
After retiring from a rewarding (often demanding) career in engineering, I appreciate my new life-balance. I enjoy favorite pastimes such as, working out at the gym, or practicing various poses with my yogi. I love reading a good novel; spending time at the library. I also enjoy learning my new language.
One of the items on my « bucket list » is to become conversant in French. My goal is to become fluent, in my lifetime. I’ve used various methods of learning – videos, books, private tutors, etc. But, the most fun I’ve had learning French has been with Mikayla and Sarah, founders of Pardon My Learning.
As one of the very first students of this dynamic duo, I am thrilled to share what a joy it has been to learn from these pros. They are excellent language-learning coaches who have a passion for their craft, and connect with their students. It is wonderful to learn from those who appreciate me as a person, not just a client.
I enjoy taking private, as well as group, lessons. There is no judgement in any of the classes; just a feeling of learning with friends, and encouraging one another. Not only is there lots of learning, but lots of fun and laughter.
I look forward to my classes, each week, and intend to be a student, for years to come. In fact, after sharing my experience with my daughter, she became a student, herself.
If you’re interested in learning French, sans the drudgery, Pardon My Learning is tops!

Bon apprentissage ! »
« It’s always been an aspiration of mine to become conversationally fluent in French, taking different classes on and off for years however I never lasted longer than a term.
Since starting private classes with Mikayla I have found a way of learning I have fallen in love with.
Mikayla’s classes are always fun and full of laughs, and being able to study at my own pace has given me space to really focus on the areas I need to, giving me the time to understand all the concepts and know the vocabulary before moving on to the next topic.
Mikayla has given me the support and confidence I needed, and for the first time I’m seeing consistent improvements in my reading, writing and speaking abilities. »
