Human languages - English and French

English - Native speaker

I am a native English speaker, having lived in London all my life (until the move to Vancouver).

French - intermediate conversational level

I have reached intermediate conversational level in French, with a DELF B1 qualification. I began learning French during lockdown (May 2020) and I’m sticking with it. I spent 2 months in Lyon, France studying with Inflexyon, which really helped me progress.
