It was so much fun! I went on so many tours and saw so many cool sites. One day we went to the Tower of London to explore and experience the history that that landmark offered. A neat part about the Tower was that any time there was a sign explaining photos, history, or a specific room it was written in many different languages. Since I was away from school for a week, I decided to test myself by reading every sign in French first, and then reading in English to see how much I understood. It was a great way to challenge myself and to keep practicing french outside of the classroom. I was able to pick up on words here and there and use context clues and sentence structures to gain an understanding of what the writing was about. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-620\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/laurenfrench102\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38306\/2025\/04\/IMG_4018-Small-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/laurenfrench102\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38306\/2025\/04\/IMG_4018-Small-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/laurenfrench102\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38306\/2025\/04\/IMG_4018-Small.jpeg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n<p>I had the pleasure of being a guest on the LLC chat podcast to talk about ImmerseME.
