Final comments
if you have the oportunity to go to paris don't doubt!!! it's a wonderful experience you will remember forever. it's dificult at the beginning because the city is huge and it's not easy to get to know people. But once you get over that low point you will not want to leave, :-)

Languages
Language of instruction: Spanish
Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
How much did you improve your Spanish?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Language difficulties
Administrative / Institutional
Personal comments
To have a good level infrench is necesary because professors don't make differences between local and international students. Most of the french students help you with any language problems.
