“I really enjoyed the variety of my French courses and the way that the French literature, grammar, history, linguistics, oral language courses all inter-connected together so well—I was always applying things that I learned in one course to another. As a long-time Francophile, I was thrilled to be exposed to so many diverse aspects of French language and culture in such an in-depth and engaging way.”
