Overally, it is a new experience for me to learn french and its culture as well. At first, it is quite difficult to converse in french and due to peer encouragement, it is much more easier.

Course recommendations
I would like to suggest that we can have more lively time table or schedule; one session of class may be can carried out in 2 hours instead or 4 or 5 hours. This will help students to understand and absorp the materials better. Overally, the rest is nice and suitable.
