I really enjoyed meeting people, both students and teachers. The fact that French and English were given priority in certain areas really made it possible to meet some great people. Thank you so much! I enjoyed my 3 week course at BLI :)
Insider tip: The room where we eat: it's often around food that we meet the strangest people.
