ENS Lyon

Though I had previously spent a year in Marseille with the ERASMUS scheme, I was now competing in Lyon with French students in French on a Master's degree course. I learnt plenty and was really able to add to what I had learnt before and get it up to the next level as I wished when I applied for the place on the course. Again though a lot of effort is required and there's not as much opportunity to go out all the time as I did in Marseille because I was there to work for my qualification and nothing else. Of course I did go out and made lots of new friends, I joined the rugby team again and played in an indoor football team, I even acted in a play(!), but I made progress in real, useful French this time and put it all together with the progress I'd made in Marseille.
