Studying in France
My daughter is spending this year studying in Brittany. She is living in Rennes, what a beautiful place. Little English is spoken and this is a good thing as her degree will be in International Business and French. I was very impressed with her arranging her apartmment, telephone, internet and utilities, all without my assistance, as I speak no French. We have purchased a small t.v. which she puts on most evenings and which she finds assists her in the pronunciation of the language. She and her friend are the only English girls in the business school but have found everybody very helpful and friendly. I think that because the girls have wanted to fit into the French way of life and not expected people to fit in with theirs, they are accepted with warmth. I know she will be sorry to leave in the summer and I too will miss my visits to this wonderful area.
