Students' comments

Dorota Julia Kotniewicz
French Studies - BA

The French programme is so special in my mind because on the one hand there are elments that anyone interested in French would be drawn to, such as translation, grammar or history, and on the other hand, you also get encouragement to get acquainted with topics that you had not bothered with before. While it is certainly a challenge that all the study is done in French, it does not take long to get used to it, and you are starting to think about French in the car on the way home without realizing it. I chose French for a BA degree because I have a passion for languages and literature and now that I am finishing my second year I see that all aspects of the study are intertwined and support what I am most interested in, and give me a deeper understanding of the subject.
