• Why did you learn French ?
  I live in Paris. So I need to speak the language. I do not understand foreigners that do not want to speak French.
  I would like to communicate freely with my French friends. I really feel part of the French community. I understand the subtleties of the French language.
   
• Why did you decide to come and live in Paris ?
  As an actor and dancer in a theatrical company based in New York, I had the opportunity to do tours all around Europe. I danced several times in Paris. And I must say, I utterly fell in love with this city. I made myself a promise : to come back and live in Paris. My dream came true.
  I love big cities. I come from New York. Like my native city, Paris is always on the move, there is always something to do. Throughout the year, there are exhibitions, theatre plays, parties, fashion shows of famous designers. Paris is the fashion capital of the world. Moreover, life is much cheaper in Paris !
   
• Why did you choose Institut privé Campus Langues ?
  A friend of mine recommended the school.
  This friend was a student of Institut Privé Campus Langues after she arrived in France.
   
• What do you think of the school ?
  I am really satisfied with my French courses. The atmosphere in class is really friendly and relaxed. These factors allow us to learn French efficiently.
  The method that Institut Privé Campus applied in the class is really good. The courses combine conversation, grammar and vocabulary. Moreover, the classes are really interactive.
   
• Which advice would you give to our future students to learn French quickly ?
  The French that you learnt at school is completely different from the French language that you speak in your daily life. I even asked myself if I really learnt French at school !
  Do not lose heart ! Be persevering : Immerge yourself in the French culture, speak with the natives ! Do not only stay with friends from your country. Take the time to learn.
  Be curious ! Underline the new words that your teacher used in the class, look up in a dictionary.
   
• Which Paris disctrict do you like ?
  I love the area of the Sacré Coeur (metro Pigalle – Blanche). I rent a flat in this district.
  I also really like the 3rd district (Les Halles , Le Marais, the Jewish area)
   
• Where do you like to go out ?
  I often go for a walk in the street Montorgueil. I often stroll along the Seine. There is always something happening in the evenings : Paris Plage, open-air discos…
   
• What have you learnt from this experience ?
  I am more open minded !
