My year studying in France was nothing short of a cultural and linguistic adventure. With the support of YES Canada and my French teachers, I felt safe, informed and confidant while overseas.
I enjoyed gazing at beautiful paintings in museums, visiting breathtaking cathedrals and bicycling through charming old winding streets. I made some wonderful friends from France and all over the world whom I continue to speak with in French. I will always remember sitting in a café people watching and sipping a café au lait after having comfortably conversed with the waiter in French. I then knew that I had not only learned to speak French, but also experienced what it was like to be truly “française”.
