Today we had the pleasure of meeting Professor Duchamp. As a French native and New York native, we learned about the good and not so good things about Paris from his perspective and experience. We learned how to say a few basic French phrases while getting to know each other better with the fun of throwing fish across the room. Professor Duchamp taught us how to navigate the Metro and RER map for Paris and it was pretty simple for us native New Yorkers. We were also introduced to basic items used in everyday life in France that were very new to us.

A few days left until we are living the life in Paris! See you all tomorrow at our last immersion class before we take off!

On the second day of our immersion classes we covered the topic of culture and what that means. We discussed what it means to understand the cultures of others especially without judgement. We also got to learn alot about each other’s cultures and about the French culture we are about to experience. The countdown continues for the day we begin our adventure in Paris.

Have a great weekend everyone! / Passez un bon weekend tout le monde!

Your liaison,
