About the Authors
Yvonne Manette Batot has always been fascinated with the study of
language. As a young girl she often visited the library with her mother
to read books written in any foreign language she could get her hands
on. Yvonne later pursued her passion for language by earning a BA in
Linguistics at the University of Texas at Austin. After receiving her
MA in Sociology, Yvonne worked as an English teacher for the Texas
Public School system and also taught English as a Second Language in
Szombathely, Hungary. Following her dream of studying language and
experiencing different cultures, Yvonne, her husband and two children
have lived in various cities in France, Switzerland, Ireland, the United
States and Canada. She and her family currently live in Texas, though
they also enjoy spending time at their cottage in northern Ontario.
Madame Batot and Sra. Gose teamed up after the release of Flip Flop Spanish when it became apparent that young children were thirsting for a teaching tool with French as a target language as well as Spanish. They have enjoyed a growing friendship through the project of studying and tweaking every detail in this proven curriculum for children and their parents.
