Go, learn and discover!
Today I
would like to tell you more about the project called Erasmus. This program
gives a chance to students to go abroad and to learn at the foreign university
whenever they want (at the first, second, third, fourth or fifth year of
studies). Due to the fact that I was a participant of this project, I will try
to present you how it works and whether I mention it positively or not :)
But
from the beginning…
As you already
know, each university allows students to go to the another country in order to
enrich their knowledge according to their studies. It can be a law student, a
futur engineer or a philologist. The last one, in my opinion, has the easiest
way to go away because of good language skills. The choice isn’t so hard. For
example, when you study French, you will probably choose the university in France , Switzerland
or Belgium
where people used to speak this language – that’s normal :). More difficulties
can have an another student because his choice is limited. As we can perceive, English
is the most popular and the most known language in the world so when you don’t
study any philology, it's probable that you must learn English. That’s the problem for
students of sciences such as mathematics, physics, chemistry or geography. They
are scared, they think that they won’t cope with a language, with a communication
abroad… A lot of them abandon their dreams of studying in the other country and
meeting people from different parts of the world.
But not me!
:) I’ve decided to go to France
more than one year ago during my first part of studies. It wasn’t easy - I
must have had an conversation in French, I needed to justify why I wanted to go
away, what have I expected after, which city would I choose … but finally it
succeeded! I’ve spent in the city of Montpellier
(it’s located in the southern France ,
near Cote d’Azur )
the best time in my life and if I could go abroad one more time to study at one
of the French universities, I wouldn’t hesitate. It was an amazing adventure –
during a few months I’ve enriched my knowledge containing the language,
the culture and traditions of France .
What is more, I’ve visited a lot of cities like Perpignan ,
Beziers , Nimes ,
Marseille, Avignon , Orange , Nice or Barcelone (yes, also Barcelone :D). For me (the
future translator and person who would like to work with French) it was one of
the most important experiences which I could suffer in the middle of studies.
Why? Because where can I be surrounded by people speaking French at such a high
level and develop the beauty of this country? :)
I agree with you completely. Erasmus is a great opportunity to discover new places and meet interesting people from all over the world even during your studies.
