“It is possible to pick the primary texts up in Cambridge and read them while you’re here, but it really helps to have read them in advance.” Natarnya 

 

“It’s not like everyone is fluent already and knows all of French literature off by heart. It’s more about what you learn when you’re here than what you know before you get here.” James
