"Learning French gave me the opportunity to pick up Pentanque, a French sport, and represent NP in the Inter-Poly Tertiary Petanque Championship. Our team won silver and I got to make new friends through the competition." Theng Kai Yao from Diploma in Aerospace Engineering, took Intermediate French.

Learning French gave me the opportunity to go to France, experience with a French family, learn more about the culture, have the most amazing time, and most importantly find the best friends I could have asked for. ❤️ French in NP
