I had the privilege of studying French at Carleton University for two years. My professor had a unique ability to engage the class, keeping us focused while also making learning enjoyable. She encouraged interaction not only between students and herself but also among classmates, creating a collaborative and supportive environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also introduced us to French culture in a way that made the language come alive. She started every class with ten minutes of French music, and she often incorporated cultural insights into her lessons. Thanks to her teaching style, I not only improved my language skills but also built lasting friendships with classmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a personal note, my biggest goal was to be able to speak French with my grandparents and my father\u2019s side of the family in Quebec City, who speak only French. Before taking these courses, I was never able to form a full sentence when speaking with them. Thanks to my professor\u2019s guidance, I finally found the confidence and ability to communicate with my grandparents in French. Today, I take regular trips to Quebec to visit them and continue practicing\u2014a life-changing experience I owe to my time in the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The French department at Carleton is also outstanding in its support and community-building. They offer many opportunities for students to practice French outside the classroom, from board game nights and pub nights to special cultural events. I especially remember one event where visiting students from France baked pastries and cr\u00eapes for everyone\u2014the whole building smelled like butter and fresh pastries all day! Events like these not only help students improve their French but also build a genuine sense of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, my experience with Carleton\u2019s French department was wonderful. The professors, activities, and supportive environment helped me reach personal goals I never thought possible, and I\u2019m grateful to have been a part of it.<\/p>\nVon, Computer Science (stream: Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence).<\/em><\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
