Week 1: Genève, Cours intensif

During my first week in Switzerland, I had the chance to get a wonderful tour of Genève from Camille. We spent a snowy afternoon walking around the Old Town near St. Peter's Cathedral, the Hotel de Ville and the center of the Reformation.

The first week of intensive french went smoothly. We had a chance to speak often in conversation with other students and learn some useful new vocabulary pertaining to winter, the transportation system etc. For homework we wrote several phrases in french incorporating new vocabulary and reviewing verb tenses. Unfortunately, I missed the second week due to unforeseen circumstances (see next post) however I was able to practice with the class for a few hours remotely. Overall, the class helped me prepare for the two courses I have in french and I have been able to improve my french in conversation since then.
