Curate, connect, and discover
Things I noticed as a French student in an English literature degree who had been studying English for now… 13 years?
1. IM ONLY ENROLLED IN THAT DEGREE TO READ MORE FANFIC!!! And it works, actually.
2. Only thinking in English. But it might be because I’m autistic.
3. Picking up random accents because I’m studying them. Have you seen a French person using British slangs because he had been studying them for 4 whole chapters now? Well my partner never did, until I began to call them “Lass” and “Lassie”. Well now you do too.
4. Despite years of speaking, and picking up accent, I STILL SOUND LIKE A RANDOM WHITE FRENCH BOY.
5. Still upset about my accent.
I will make an update in two months. I have to go to the US (no offence to the Americans but I hate your country) to validate my year. Let’s see how everything evolves after a month in Virginia.
