Lucinda followed a 12 week,
DELF exam preparation course in Bordeaux, France.
Half-way through the course she shared her impressions with CESA
"I came over to Bordeaux to work on my French. Having been out here for six weeks of a twelve week course (at the time of writing this) I am glad to say it's a case of, so far, so very, very good. Everybody I have met has been really amazed at just how quickly they have picked the language up, even those who have never studied French before or those who haven't studied for a long time."
