Introducing the author


That’s right, I’m an author!! Of a blog, admittedly, but still! This post aims at introducing me to my fellow students. So, who is “Yellow Submarine” when it is not a song from the Beatles?

My name is Louis, I’m 20, French, and I’m studying in Graz, Austria, as an Erasmus student. My second language is German, and I’m also attending a Spanish class. I love languages and I want to be an interpreter. Since September 2012 I have been living in Graz, because I don’t see how I could study languages and not being part of an exchange program.

That’s why I also wanted to live in a flat share with German-speaking students, or at least no French students. And I think I made it, since I’m living with a Croatian trombonist, a Ukrainian flutist, a Slovakian flutist, a Slovakian violinist, an other Slovakian, a Italian guitarist, a Peruvian cellist, a Turkish conductor, and there used to be a Bulgarian guy too. This is where I live! At the beginning, I thought of another song from the Beatles, called “Back in the USSR”…

As I said, I really enjoy everything that is related to languages, even my mother tongue. One of the good things about my roommates is that I can speak German with those who can, English with those who can’t, and Spanish with the Peruvian guy. I have the opportunity to speak all the foreign languages I study. Isn’t that great?

Outside the language world, I love watching movies, listening to music, travelling, editing videos myself... All these hobbies are actually related to languages!

Concerning the movies, I noticed that I usually really like movies in which several languages are spoken, like The Spanish Apartment, Inglourious Basterds…

Anyway, I hope you will have a good time reading my upcoming posts!


The trailers of course!


And for the Beatles fans:



A bientôt!
