And there are quite a few Erasmus students from France like me studying on campus! We are very eager to get to know you!<\/p><p>In my home university in France I study political science and am going to apply for a master in the ecological transition. I have decided to study abroad in Belfast mostly to improve my skills in English, to discover new people, a new city, a new culture and a new educational system. Many other French students have the same idea as I have, and we hope to contribute to Queen&#8217;s as a vibrant French-speaking community. As I hope this experience here to help me with my English, I recently signed up for the Tandem Language Exchange programme. So, I&#8217;ll be happy to promote my native language as well as to learn other languages from you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn French (or the other languages) with us Language Centre, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.qub.ac.uk%2Flc%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2FW7PQR0ptVZXY043e7q8XvKLktzO7lAGQ2o_GPJDFpS9fBNQNuGnoReo&amp;h=AT09wNw2Mxv6je8_Tp7evCDuLDGyCAMWcZ0Jd3kyp6Ina2GqaGjb5Lag6b2CKJDR8HZ50WWSnDrXwuq00jBrg1EPxgPND-vx00k7wx_AzRRfc-9b0fAlzv7IdAvGmv7txgnn&amp;__tn__=-UK-R&amp;c[0]=AT2jAp9ZvACpb3qDJ4j9kvbHeZKXIZFnqV2zVRgT7P4hSAMM3MyiVsx7vkNu_LJD5mefIl4At5_YAKy98-XqaVTnsP6V0JILNGWC4EnrqSSnIF_JUZc__gGgVoVMk7w5Imk7W08HqNvxgC-RDYGU6YHGuPDp3ImKOngdsXoQT59UGzcrd6paM0uppApwbvIKv0HyVuZlmKrB\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.qub.ac.uk\/lc<\/a> (or scan the QR code) and sign up for the classes which will commence week beginning Monday 24 April 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find a language partner for language exchange, visit <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.qub.ac.uk\/tandemlanguage\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/go.qub.ac.uk\/tandemlanguage\" target=\"_blank\">Tandem Language Exchange (TLE) programme<\/a>.
