My study abroad experience in Caen was a life changing experience that allowed me to improve my French language skills and make lifelong friends. My language skills progressed must faster than I expected and my host family deserves most of the credit for that taking place. They opened their home to me, and treated me like one of the family. They were always there to help me with homework or things I was having trouble grasping. They always encouraged me to practice my French and not become discouraged if I was corrected. I always joked with them they were my French parents and was honored to have them attend my wedding this past autumn in Texas.
