6 Meet Gabby She traveled on an EF Language Tour. MY LANGUAGE CLASSES Our teacher barely ever spoke English which forced us to think, write, and talk in all French. MY CULTURAL ACTIVITIES I was able to use what I already knew and learned in classes during our adventures such as the hands on experience of making the pottery. MY LANGUAGE CONFIDENCE I learned how to talk about things even if I didn't know the translation of all of the words, and I learned how to express my ideas and get my point across.

7 Tour highlights Cultural activities with locals: pétanque, cooking class, dîner en famille & pottery class *le train, open air market scavenger hunt, visits to famous monuments & museums, language classes and so much more!
