Morgan, ILCF Alumna and Expert on the History of Paris!

I was a student at ILCF for over one year and a half. Once I made the decision to register,

I was pleased to find myself on a real French college campus, surrounded by native French speakers.

As a student there, I could participate in social activities, which included gatherings at local restaurants, and guided walks through historical neighborhoods.

 

As someone who really appreciates French history and architecture, I adored the campus; my favorite memories were arriving a few minutes early to class and studying in the vast, beautiful, peaceful garden. My classes were diverse and the professors really had a passion for their jobs.

During my first semester, I was introduced to the French legend, Claude Francois.
 

As students, we did not learn as much with a book and pencil, as we did with music and lyrics. I memorized the words to his popular song “Cette Année Là”, and when I was able to belt it out along with my French friends, they were so impressed I knew the song by heart!

Looking back as an advanced French speaker several years later, I am so appreciative of my studies at ILCF. I may not have mastered the tricky French subjunctive, but I was introduced to French culture and language in a way that I don’t think would have been possible at any other university.
 

I recommend ILCF to anyone that values experiencing student life and French culture in Paris, as much as they value acquiring new language skills.
