How did I start Learning French!
Here is a little story on how I stepped into the world of learning French. If I had not taken this step back in 2011, I would have been teaching French years later. Hope you enjoy reading it!
LIFE EXPERIENCE WITH FRENCH

Now that's an interesting story. We would have to travel back to March 2011, when I was taking the final exam for third standard. We all were given forms to select a third language that the students needed to learn at least up to 8th standard. Similarly, I too got the form and for some reason, I had made up my mind that I had to take French only (there was a choice of roughly 6-7 languages).
Interestingly in the final class list, I was allotted to section A which had Sanskrit as the third language. But...I wanted French? Actually, my mother had filled so because she knows Sanskrit, and she thought it would be better if I chose the same as she could teach me easily. I lowkey revolted, and got the form again, for some interesting reason, my father filled German.
We say the third time is the charm, isn't it? Finally, in the third form filling, I filled in French in the blank of the chosen language. And then, it ended up being a marvelous journey altogether. 9 years old Anubhav would have never thought that he would start teaching the very same language to so many students. I have saved the remaining story for another day. Ciao!
