It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
Language of instruction: French
Was learning French a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my French
How much did you improve your French?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
lots of the international students speak no French and many of the French students wish to practice their English. It can be frustrating, but if you want to improve your French, just keep at it. The French are really patient when you are trying to speak their language and they really appreciate the effort!
