The French exchange was an amazing experience, not only did I build a completely new friendship with my partner, and some of her friends, but I strengthened friendships I already had by the shared experience. It was so interesting seeing how someone my age in another country lived- it’s so different. It was also incredibly character building and required me to find confidence and peace in being independent and making a place for myself, especially with the language barrier. Talking of the language barrier, I developed my french hugely in the sense that not only did I expand my vocabulary, but I learnt to tune in, structure in a more casual way, and keep up in conversation; the french talk very fast. Finally, I really enjoyed the experiences and trips we went on, such as Par Astérix, Paris (the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, museums), and obviously Harry Potter world on the home leg.![]()
