Oh man, M. Veron is pretty much the reason I've stuck it out in French at Ryerson. He's laid back, but gets the job done. Did I mention that his class is a laugh fest? His backwards writing on the board puts you off at first, oh, and his use of little drawings instead of words, that doesn't help. But his enthusiasm makes French... magnifique.
