University Toulouse 1 is really a very good university since it offers some degree programmes entirely in English.This is a great opportunity,because it provided me to use both my english and my french at the same time.Using english during the courses made a lot of contribution to my academic knowledge.On the other hand, having the opportunity to use French in daily life conversations was a priceless experience to improve my second language.
