Our new communication campaign hands the mic to those who know best: alumni. Originally from the United States, Leah's "rendez-vous in France" centers around her love of sounds and her exploration of the French language. Learn more about her journey.

Her "rendez-vous en France": a passion for languages

Leah comes from the Great Lakes region of the United States. After getting her bachelor's degree in linguistics, she chose to come to France to work as a language assistant. In 2019, she came in 2nd place in the "My Thesis in 180 Seconds" national competition.

Leah is now a PhD student and a linguistics teacher at the University of Bordeaux Montaigne, where she unearths and dissects rare consonants from around the world.

I love that the French university system is open to anyone seeking to pursue their studies and that France views access to education as an investment in its people and its future.

Heads up, international students! France offers incredible opportunities to study in a broad variety of fields.
