This institution is very special for me. I am not only learning the French language there but I also began as an artist from this platform. My very first solo art exhibition was held right there too, in the Alliance Française art gallery in 2018.

AFK Student Diaries
The AFK student community is made up of college students, filmmakers, teachers, artists, writers and...the list goes on. We asked some of them to share their language learning experiences, how they got started with French, what they do when it gets tough, and what they're reading, watching and listening to these days.
