Hey everybody!

This is going to be rather synthetic, since I am better at presenting others than myself.
I am Damien, 21, French student with a BA in Applied Languages (English and Italian). I am intending to study in the UK next year.
Since my application has been conditionally accepted, I will pass my IELTS in 28 days!
I love science and international relations, especially defence and military issues.

I like raw humour, heroic, classic and rock music, with a little preference for Judas Priest at the very moment.

Good night and delighted to join the community!

Thanks for the background, Damien. Very nice to meet you.

What IELTS band are you targeting? And have you taken the IELTS before?

Your post reminds me of a friend of mine (also French) that had a knack for languages. Between the ages of 21 and 25, he learned Chinese (Mainland putonghua), Cantonese and functional Korean! It looks as though you are on a similar path towards polyglottism.

Thank you

This is the first time I am taking the test, and I am aiming at a 7.
I agree with you! As opposed to what is often thought, I think that languages are like mechanics or engineering: sound logical bases with many functional exceptions. Accents, slang and idiomatic expressions all have a logical reason to be, and it can be extremely interesting to master them.
