• Could you share an anecdote related to your language learning or your student days?

  During my first year in school, lectures were so boring to the point that i felt like changing my department even though I voluntarily choose to study the course. Lecturers would say all they had to say in french and all i do is to just assess their outfit because I didn't understand a single thing been said. A day came when a particular lecturer in the cause of his teaching cracked a joke in french and he ended up laughing all alone,he wondered why not a single person in the class smiled,so he had to tell the joke in English language and we all bursted to laughter. Since that day,we started to learn with french songs and it became an interesting and easy language for me to learn.

• How has travel or a specific experience helped you to increase your understanding and appreciation of the language?

  Traveling to a francophone country has really been of help because there are bunch of new vocabularies to learn,either From individual or from a poster, billboard e.t.c
