My French has really improven, since before I had problems to express myself perfectly. As the coure was in English until December ant then my Internship was mainly in French, I think I lost some fluency in English. I know I have not loose my English level, but the problem is that it does not come as naturally as before because I do not speak it so much

My study experience was in three different countries (F, UK, Germany). I had to learn 3 different languages as lectures were given every year in a different local language. It was very hard, but extremely challenging and rewarding. This experience gave me the chance to learn 3 foreign languages different from my mother tongue, italian.

ESCP-EAP offers only new beginners or advanced french classes. If you know some basic french or phrases there are no alternative courses. This made it difficult to learn more french.
