Helen Anderson

""I spent 5 weeks in Paris during my winter break and I had an absolute blast. Yes there were mishaps and ups & downs, but I made the most of it with the time and money I was given. I had planned and paid for this entire trip myself and it was really up to me on what I did. I made friends the very first day and we are still in touch even months later! Exploring the city every night after class and creating unforgettable moments was definitely my favorite part. My French improved greatly and I really took away a lot from the language and culture once I came home. I had an amazing host family who were caring and welcomed me with opened arms. EF provided me with my first study abroad experience and I can’t wait for many more!”"

Rebecca Seman

"“Deciding to spend a month of my summer at EF Paris is changed my life and increased my already strong love of French language and culture. The entire experience from my host family to the classes and the friends I made is something that I will remember for the rest of my life. The enthusiasm from my teachers and peers really pushed me to succeed and I can say without a doubt that my language skills improved greatly as I became much more confident speaking the language. I enjoyed my experience so much that I am working on being able to transfer to a French university within the next 2 years. Thank you so much EF!”"

Jackson Oxler

"“The fun environment of the school, how the teachers make me excited to go to class and learn every day, how welcoming and open the people of Barcelona are, and the amazing friendships I have made! It’s been really incredible here.”"

Emma Holt

"We often look at travel as a way to learn something new about the world, but now I view it as a way to learn something new about myself."

Gisela Escobar Diaz

"One of my dreams was to travel to South Korea. From day one we were immersed in the Korean culture and even interviewing people on the street... in Korean! "
