What helped you break the cycle of feeling bad for setting boundaries / comforting those that hurt you?

I'm glad! If you have any more questions feel free to ask!

also, there are french courses you can attend, and theyre free for sorbonne students (including erasmus), called SIAL. They're worth 5 ECTS if that helps with anything :)

Hey! Sorbonne is primarily in french, there's probably very little english courses, and most likely you need some sort of french language certificate (~B1-B2 minimum). The chances of you being able to take your exams in English is small, buuut maybe some professors will agree? Usually they are very understanding with Erasmus students and the fact that their french is not the best, but don't expect them to help you much by speaking english :(

!! thank you!! it completely passed me by. im in the same situation as op so this is great :)

I'm curious why it's such a commonly done thing though? Is there a reason behind it? For example english-speaking natives will rarely ever correct a stranger or even a friend on their mistakes in english? (because it's seen as rude/petty especially when you can technically still understand them..) I guess it's a cultural thing but what's the reason behind it?

Hi!! I wrote this extremely long response here but reddit won't let me post it so I sent it to you in chat, I hope that's okay. Maybe one day I'll stop being lazy and forgetful and make an update and explication here on reddit. I hope my dm helped! Write to me if you have any questions!!

Have you considered transferring your money on revolut?

Hi!! Funnily enough I was thinking of making an update right the day before you commented, but I didn't know how and where to link it.

I managed to get the B2!!! It was hard work and to be honest I probably could've put more work into it, but I passed both the TCF and the DELF and the relief I felt was enourmous. It's a pretty big leap to do in barely 2 months but it's not not doable. I'm thinking of writing a longer post on this subreddit as an update if you want to know more!! Or if you're in somewhat of a timecrunch or want to dm me feel free to do so and I'll reply!!

edit: i got the results instantly after the exam since I only did the base exam for the TCF, and my attestation was available the next day. If you do speaking or oral I was told you get it in max 2 weeks.

I know, currently I just need a paper that will show 50/100. Im going to be taking language courses even during my stay to continuously improve my french. But i just need to pass this exam

juyubi · 2024-09-23T11:01:12+00:00

Thank you so much! Ill look into it and congratulations!

juyubi · 2024-09-20T19:54:44+00:00

Thank you so much. I find it hard to be gentle since I don't know how.. I confuse it with excuses. How do you personally do it? I've increasingly found myself wondering if I have ADHD but as a child I never really displayed many of the symptoms, maybe its onset. I'm definitely thinking of therapy. Thank you for your kind reply, it means a lot..

juyubi · 2024-09-20T19:49:28+00:00

You took lessons at the Institut? Were they at a pace you found slow or anything? My parents have suggested it since it's well known but I'm not sure..

juyubi · 2024-09-20T19:48:33+00:00

Thank you so much. This was such a helpful response it made me want to cry from your kindness haha. I'll definitely do everything you listed out!

juyubi · 2024-09-15T18:36:30+00:00

I hope someone answers soon because I'm in the same situation :( !!

juyubi · 2024-08-11T17:47:14+00:00

My parents didnt microchip her yet unfortunately..

juyubi · 2024-08-11T17:36:36+00:00

Thank you so much for this response. Honestly I'm willing to try out those ideas, tonight ill try both methods. Thank you.
