AFK Student Diaries

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.
