The course fell short of my expectations due to a lack of engaging materials and interactive activities. While it promised immersion in French culture, the use of authentic texts felt stagnant and disconnected from contemporary issues. The focus on exam preparation overshadowed the opportunity for authentic communication, leading to a less enriching experience. Additionally, the limited multimedia resources made it difficult to maintain interest, ultimately hindering the development of my language skills and cultural understanding.
