Would have loved more contact with the locals in order to improve on my language skills. And the teachers should probably have demanded us foreigners to write our exams and essays in French but with a milder rate of evaluation so that we really would have dared to. Now we got better grades by writing in English.

People speak a lot of French but can easily help you in English at the school, but one of the reasons for choosing France was to improve my French language skills, which I did! Outside school people were in general nice and understanding if I missed a word, but i did not have real troubles!
