CUEFUniversity Center for French Studies

A student in intensive courses at CUEF when the coronavirus epidemic arrived in France, Yifan was one of those confined far from home.

Originally from the Chinese city of Yining, this was the second time the health crisis had forced this student into confinement.
As national confinement was declared on March 17, this young man continued to attend classes in his apartment in Vallier Catane, Grenoble.
Despite the difficulties imposed by this particular situation, Yifan explains that the distance learning courses and the support provided by the CUEF team have enabled him to continue making progress. Although sport and cooking also took up most of his time, the student admits that it was very difficult not to be able to meet his fellow students.

However, Yifan remains optimistic and confident about the future. In fact, the young student is planning to continue his studies in France, in order to acquire a DUEF and a DSA FLE.
