At the beginning I was quite scared because I was not able to speak any word of French and I was scared not to be able to succed in the university and in the normal life. At the end, I discovered that people are very nice, patient with me and able to understand me. They made me feel comfortable altought my French was not very good.

Hard to learn it if you cannot interact with french people. the fact that you take english courses, and that the international community is separated of the french one is kinda of hard.

Given that I went twice as an exchange student to the same university, the first time was very challenging to master my French because I was usually interacting with other international students. The second time I went was provided me a very intense French-language experience for both social and academic contexts.

Excellent opportunity to improve language skills especially with being able to carry out a six month stage. Also joining the rugby team improved my communication and confidence skills.

lots of the international students speak no French and many of the French students wish to practice their English. It can be frustrating, but if you want to improve your French, just keep at it. The French are really patient when you are trying to speak their language and they really appreciate the effort!
