They share their year abroad experience

Baaba Assan_Universite de Strasbourg.

CHOOSE France and explore this life changing experience

Coucou! My name is Baaba Assan, a level 400 Political science and French student at the University of Ghana, Legon. Prior to my study abroad program in Strasbourg, understanding the complexities and speaking the french

language fluently with confidence was a head-scratching issue for me.

Today I can boldly tell you that I have had no regrets after studying in France. French has given my career goal of becoming an investment lawyer a facelift as I am now better placed to work in international environments thanks to my well-honed bilingual abilities.

CHOOSE France and explore this life changing experience. Till we meet again in France, Au revoir!

Being in France shaped me as it was a year of self-development.'

Before leaving for France, I could barely speak any French despite 3 years of studying French in Legon and in high school as well but on my second day in France, I had to open a bank account in FRENCH.

How did I do it?

I was passionate about the French language and I had the determination to do better. The year abroad was such a good experience for me. It was educative and fun. Being in France shaped me as it was a year of self-development.

Why choose France? Because it does not just help you improve on the French language but also teaches you many different things with so many experiences you’d never forget.
