Frédérique, student july 2012
Hallo! My name is Frédérique and I’m from Paris. I’m a documentary filmmaker (film and radio) and I translate books from English into French. Last winter I was in Valencia for a few days to visit a protagonist of my last film. I spottet him in Paris and he is living here in Valencia. One day I was walking alone in the neighborhood of Cabanyal, near the beach, and I liked it so much that at the end of the visit I sat on a bench and cried. In this moment, I decided to return to Valencia to live here for a few months and learn more Spanish meanwhile. Then, I searched for a Spanish school in the internet and I found Taronja. Well, now that this experience is about to end, I can say that I was right on both counts. At Taronja School I learned a lot – also how to cook paella! – and I didn’t only get to know excellent teachers but also friends. And with Cabanyal, I discovered a neighborhood so interesting I wouldn’t have thought before. Many thanks to everyone and see you soon, because it is certain that the adventure only had begun…
