Pourquoi?

So I haven't written in a while, mostly because not much is happening right now. I can start filling out an application, but I can't actually do much for a few months, when AFS will be ready for me. In this post, I'll talk about why I'd like to study in France.

I decided to take French in sixth grade, and, after starting in seventh, I've managed to make it to Third Year French with Madame Staron. Despite the amount of work (and grammar!) I've had to get through, it's been very enjoyable, especially learning about the French culture. My dad took me to Paris when I was in eighth grade and it was an unforgettable experience. Even though I was only half through First Year French, I loved seeing words and knowing what they meant. I also loved seeing the sights, the people, and the food. I've always enjoyed learning about other countries and cultures. For a while, I wanted to go to Japan. However, I decided that it might be better to go halfway around the world to a language I knew a little bit about. And good chocolate. :-)
