Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my blog! This is a place to record my thoughts and experiences while on a Language Immersion Award to Belgium and share them with friends and family

The country and now... the city!

 After quite a few months of wondering where in Belgium I would be based and quite a few discussions with previous LIAwardees (Thanks Marie, Guy, Louise and  Suzanne) about their experiences, I believe that I have struck the jackpot with Liège.

I learnt just a few weeks ago that I would be at Athénée Royal Lucie Dejardin in Ougrèe on the outskirts of the City of Liège. Once again, I was onto Google to see what I could find out. In a nutshell, it is a co-ed lower socio-economic state school of approximately 500 students.

Guy was based at this school when he was on his LIA 2009/10 and was very enthusiastic about the experience.

One of the links for the school sent me to youtube where a couple of teenage girls had a lot to say in French - most of which I was unable to understand. I obviously needed subtitles!
