ESA Flashback
As with all things COVID, the ESA Paris program for the first time in 43 years had to be canceled. Every summer this local California study program takes aspiring Parisians on a whirlwind monthlong adventure like no other. It was through this program that I fell in love with Paris 7 years ago and why you are seeing this right now. It is unfortunate to all those who were expecting to be there this year and all though this can’t replace that, this monthlong celebration hopes to celebrate all things Paris! Join me and many others as we bring you Paris through our eyes and memories.

Learning a new language besides your native one is truly one of the best things you can do in life. The benefits are easy to see, you will add a great skill to your resume, learn how to communicate with a different culture, and keep your mind sharp as you age. Although learning a new language is something many people do for school, work, or pleasure it is usually difficult to maintain a sustained interest in it without strong determination and proper goals.
