I’m graduated from both International Human Resources and Communication, and I’ve always enjoyed learning and transfer my knowledge, for example to help people to align their work with their own values, which is part of my freelance job. However, even if I’ve travelled a bit these last years - especially in New-Zealand, Canada, Cambodia and Japan - I don’t manage to really integrate an international dimension to my job, and I really miss it. I would like to try enlarging my range of work possibilities in learning Chinese and Chinese culture.

I’ve fallen for Chinese language only last august (2018), completely haphazardly, in watching a Chinese drama. Some days after, I’ve found a first online Chinese course that I am still following. And recently, there is a MOOC (massive open online course) about introducing to Chinese language, and another one introducing to Chinese culture, so I’m currently following both of them, and would like to learn more. If I’ve chosen to apply for the Yunnan University Chinese language program, it’s first of all because I’ve learned that my current living city, Nancy (in France), is the sister city of Kunming. So I’ve looked for more information about the city and the University. The location of Kunming seems ideal for experiencing Chinese and other asian cultures, and the University itself has a very good reputation, regarding its ranking and all the good feedbacks seen on different websites and forum.

For all these different reasons, I would like to learn Chinese at the Yunnan University, but also discover Chinese culture, History, arts, craft, music, and so on. I then hope to be able to include this experience to my job.
