In linguistic terms:
Although the LV2 Spanish or French is no longer in the program in both countries, there is a real motivation on the basis of volunteering to attend the preparation sessions (1 hour week out of 2 years).
Following the exchange of students with the objective of mobility type KA1 are more numerous because the handicap of non-mastery of the language does not seem to them more prohibitive. `
Oral communication is privileged during periods of exchange, barriers fade and progress is rapid.
