From Beginner to Francophone

I am forever grateful to the French program at MPC for experiences that shaped my academic success. In class, I developed confidence and skills in French, while building life-long friendships in an always friendly and encouraging environment. As a UC transfer student who now speaks and understands French, I feel confident to begin my next academic chapter.
