Final comments
Try not to fall a sleep during the classes. In Sweden we are used to 2 * 45 minutes but here it is 1.30 * 2... But you get used to it! Try to make friends wtih French students, they are really nice and you will have a great time with them. Dont be scared of being laughed at when you speak french. The French likes it when you make an effort to speak their language!! join the wine club and go on the trips the arrange, this is great fun!!!
