Université Toulouse 1 Sciences Sociales (UT1)

In a way, learning French in France is easy - you have no other choice! That said, don't expect to be fluent in one semester, because that's just not going to happen unless you had a really good basis before you left. In my case, it took 3 months (including a 4-week intensive French course) before I understood everything that was being said, and almost a year before I felt truly comfortable talking. And even now, after a total of 4 years in France, I still retain that charming Norwegian accent ;-) So don't expect miracles, either.

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.

not a problem when you make mistakes, they find it wonderfull that you are there and try to speak their language. The people are patient with you. Also, there are a lot of foreign people, so you are not the only one who doesn't speak the language without mistakes.

I can say the life, at the beginning, it was really easy because the french people doesn't try to understand you. After we the experince i haven't problems to talk and to write the language. Now I know many person with wich i speak and i write e-mail in french

French is similar to Italian and I had no problem with it. It is nonetheless quite hard to speak as the locals, since most Erasmus life was between non-French people

The language was one of the main reasons of choosing toulouse, and I improved my french language skills from 1 to 10 during my period of studying.
