I started my journey of learning french in 2014 and I can’t believe the wonderful memories and things that I got to learn here . Alliance became a second home and a family to me . Our teachers not only gave  us book lessons but also made us learn in a very interactive and friendly way . Learning French , which is the third most spoken language , is a skill and opens the door to the world . For language lovers like me , French language is a treasure that made me discover French culture and literature. Starting from A1 and then finally ending up with B2 made me more passionate about this language . It is indeed a journey and helped me to meet different personalities and learn from them . 

In 2019, I got the chance to participate in Labcitoyen and visit paris . This was undoubtedly a life changing experience where I got to meet young activists from all around  the world and present my project on Women rights -equality and citizenship .We had the privilege to meet the honorable first lady " Brigitte Macron " and share opinions regarding this subject. We met the French social activists , visited organisations like OECD, palais de la femme and had the experience to learn from them.  French Language  paved the way for me to discover paris and people from different culture . Labcitoyen was such an experience that helped me to connect with the change makers of the world and continue my motivation of learning French.
