Today I took my GRAND EXAMEN for my university program and met about 20 of the 250 students in my program. The most common countries represented were Ghana, China, Brazil and England. I met people from Uzbekistan, China, Ghana, Brazil, France (duh), Columbia, and Canada.
IRFFLE is my university program, comprised of approx. 250 students coming from over 40 countries. I didn't meet a single American the whole day. IRFFLE means "l'Institut de Recherche et de Formation en Français Langue étrangère" in case you were wondering. It is possibly the hardest word for a foreigner (or the French) to pronounce.
L'IRFFLE= LEER FLUU.
I ate lunch with a studying-to-be-a-nurse student from Mexico, a dual citizen of Sweden and Mexico (a truly unique combo) and two silent Spanish girls. They spoke a helluvalot of spanish, of which I understand about as much as I understand rapid French... Which is to say whatever emotions were on their faces.
After lunch I made some more friends (I'm the youngest by far... I've yet to meet anyone else under the age of 21) and investigated the library. Libraries are wonderful places of learning and napping, which is what I did by sleeping on my dictionary.
My dictionary and I are besties.
Tomorrow a jazz fest and a tour of the FACs. I know what FACs are now! They are the abbr. of Faculté, not a naughty word.
If you're looking for some Frenchie music here you go!
