BA (Honours) '05, MA '11

As an undergraduate student, my original intention was just to take a class or two to keep up my language skills. At that time, I was vaguely aware of la Francophonie, however the diversity within the French department opened my eyes to the fact that French extends far beyond Canada and France. In a very welcoming environment, I enjoyed many different classes in grammar, culture and literature taught by professors well-versed in their fields, but the decisive moment for me was taking Introduction 脿 la linguistique which is where I discovered my true passion: linguistics.

Following an education degree and experience teaching French and English, I wanted to deepen my knowledge in linguistics by pursuing a master鈥檚 degree. It was obvious to me that the Dal French department would be the ideal place to receive the education I was looking for and I was not disappointed. My positive experience as an undergraduate student was confirmed as a graduate student. I appreciated the close-knit department where I was constantly challenged and provided with the support and encouragement needed to succeed.

Now living in France and working on a PhD at the Universit茅 de Nantes, I continue to draw on the lessons I learned at 黑料吃瓜网and am very thankful I decided to take a class or two in French.
