It was terrifying , everyone was nice but i was so much out of my confort zone that i propably seemed like it iRead More →

Hey it’s Hannah here Moving to France has been a journey that I will never forget . Before moving to France we had to sort out a lot of things .

Hey it’s Hannah moving to France has created problems I wasn’t prepared for . It caused a feeling of belonging nowhere . Let me explain : when I moved to France I didn’t and don’t feel like it fit in , I am not french and will never be like everyone in France . Things that make me feel like I don’t belong are : I don’t speak like everyone else ( I don’t have a french accent ) , I don’t have the same culture or traditions as everyone in France . I have found my self  to celebrating them because I find themRead More →

It wasn’t the case. How is it possible ? learning french come down to a few key point: – grammar – vocabulary – syntax you might be thinking , obvously , (it’s the base of every language ) but hear me out . grammar consists of nouns / verbs / adverbs etc . vocabulary allows you to write in french with more interesting words as well asRead More →
