I had been studying french for a long time but this year improved it more than the previous years combined. Not only did I learn the business vocabulary but also the everyday slang that french people use very much in their conversations. It was a great experience from the language point of view!

It was extremely difficult at first because nobody around spoke english. The teachers and the administrative people speak english but when it came to getting the internet in our flat and communicating with our landlord it was all done in french and quite difficult at first.

It's really up to you to learn the language outside the required language class. Practice with the locals, they're more than glad to help you learn it, in fact they love it when they see you trying hard to speak it.

It was quite easy as most administrators were fluent in multiple languages. Host families and local students are extremely patient with international students.

Well if you are a retard like me you travel to France without speaking a word of french. I thought that people exaggerated when they said that the french don't/refuse to speak english, but I was wrong. You should try to learn at least some basics in french before you go there otherwise you will have some very difficult time over there. But at the school you will find no problems at all.
