Longwy

During my Intercalary Year I went to France and Germany.  Predominantly, I was an assistant in Longwy, France on the Belgium/Luxembourg border.  I taught English in the Lycée Alfred Mézières and made lots of friends whom I still visit today.  My French improved drastically and my confidence grew to a stage where I would even use my French in class to help some of the weaker pupils understand English grammar! 
The course certainly benefited me in many ways: firstly, it gave me the language capabilities I had always wanted; to be able to go to France and Germany without a dictionary and do more than just get by.  It also meant I could move to the next stage of my dream of becoming a teacher of Modern Foreign Languages at secondary school level.
