My Travel Story

by: Olivia Duncan Start Date: Jan 19, 2015 - End Date: Apr 15, 2015
I have always always always wanted to learn and speak French. Growing up in a small town, there was not much opportunity to do so. I remember my parents buying me teach-yourself-a-language books and me failing miserably at it. When I came to OSU I was happy to discover French was offered as a language of study. I have been a French student for three years now and I am ready to test my knowledge! In Paris this summer I will spend a few hours each day in intensive language clases and then be able to use those skills with my host family in my time away form school. I hope to see all the sights Paris has to offer and some of the French countryside as well. One of the biggest highlights of this trip will be watching the cyclists ride into the city on the final day of "le tour de france." My parents and I have watched this race every summer on TV and we will finally be able to see it in person! I say we because my parents will be returning from a month-long mission trip in Nigeria that week and have decided to use their change of flights in Paris as a reason to see the city. I am SO excited for this trip and can't wait to experience a new culture and language!
