Personal comments
I thoroughly enjoyed my language experience In Dijon. My favorite activity was le jeu de piste. We went downtown with a list of questions and the objective was to ask the locals about their town and to become more familiar with the town by communicating with the local people. All of the teachers were very friendly and patient, and were interested to teach foreign students. The Dijonnais are fairly used to the city being full of foreign students, so they too were quite friendly It was difficult to meet other French students during the summer. I really was impressed with the over-all program.

I was very shy in the beginning when I was expected to say something especially as far as social life is concerned. At college the teacher correct you constantly so you get dishearted a little. I figured out after a while that my French wasn't that bad and finally started to talk and thus improved my language skills a lot!

The attendance to the courses is compulsory, therefore the erasmus students can improve very soon their listening skills, moreover all the erasmus students have to attend a language course of french according to their entry level. The small size of the classes helps the Erasmus students to interact with the local students.

No great difficulties in an academic context, occasional difficulties dealing with complex administration, but was able to make myself understood and listen to others very satisfactorily.

Honestly, if your signing up for this program for the classes you should be shot. Go here to drink beer, see the sites, and look at girls from around the world.
