Study experience in Toulouse

This month, I would like to talk about my study experience in Toulouse.

Christmas season in France

Christmas season is here. I like it a lot – as most people - but I’m not a fanatic.

New year, new semester

So, here we are. A new year. It’s a milestone. Not only is it a new year, it’s also a new semester.

English as a lingua franca

It’s winter here in Toulouse, the semester is in full swing, and not much is happening.

New interests and habits in France

The place where you live obviously shapes your life – so this month, allow me to talk about new interests and habits I’ve developed in France.

Exams followed by holidays

This month, I’m a little late with exams, holidays and all that good stuff.
