How do you house a foreign exchange student from France?
I think it would be fun to house one from FRANCE. I take French in my HS and I want one from France. I'm trying to convince my parents. How do I get one!? I know that and everything... but like HOW do you house one. Who do you call and just HOW in general!

Why would your parents object? If they don't want anyone else living in the house, give it up. Otherwise, think to yourself what it means to learn to look at life from the perspectives of other people, and to help them look at things from your perspective. The process is one of learning that you cannot get in school. I think your interest in French makes a French student a logical candidate, but the experience would not be much different if the student were from Japan, Germany, or South Africa.
2 :
Give them french fries, cheese, and wine; be rude and talk only in english (even if you know french).
3 :
Its not a pet, you know. Having an exchange student is a big responsibility. You have to feed and water him, and walk him everyday. Maybe we should get you a goldfish first. If you take good care of the goldfish, then we'll talk about getting you a foreign exchange student.

I don't think there should be a problem. my daughter took Japanese classes and we are going to have a Japanese girl as foreign exchange student in our house in March. You do not have to do much. Just remain the way you are.they want to see the way you live. You might have to take him out if you chose. He will be your age, just like an other friend your parents are used to see. You would learn how to be hospitable...Chances are, you will get a same opportunity one day. Let you parents read my mail.It is only for a short period of time. Good Luck
5 :
In your search engine, just type "foreign exchange student " and also "become host family" and you'll come up with a lot of organizations that deal with arranging everything (visa, insurance, etc). Then, once you have found some organizations that look nice, do a little research about them online. You'll probably also find forums where people give their opinion. Once you feel that you have found a trustworthy one, contact them. They will explain everything to you. Also, a representative will visit your house and interview your family. You will also be asked to attend a meeting where other host families to be will be able to get useful tips and ask questions. If they don't do any of that, don't trust them, as it also means they don't screen the prospective exchange students. Make sure they explain everything as to insurance issues. You can also ask the language teachers in your school, they sometimes receive brochures about foreign exchange student programs. EDIT: I just found these articles that you may find useful: http://www.ehow.com/how_2050363_host-foreign-exchange-student.html?ref=fuel http://french.about.com/library/uc-hosting-sp.htm

I'm french and with my town we have some exchange with an American, a German, and an English city. Maybe you have the same in you city. You may go to your city hall and ask for the person who manage the exchange and for recieve a young french (if you have an exchange with french city) and maybe go their after.
7 :
Why don't you ask your teacher? He/She might have some ideas about how to get a transfer. Better yet, ask your principal. He/She might have a list or something and contact your FRench teacher's supervisor. Your Board of Ed might have some info, if not, they might have some experience in transfers. Good luck! Au revoir!

Paris is extremely expensive so don't go there without enough money to back you up. Rent and living expenses are around average €1300 per person a month which is nearly $1800.
2 :
Get in touch? Well, you have to be a student at the uni, then find an office of "international programs/cooperation", etc. If you're going on an exchange program, there are always some chances to get a dorm: a small room or a studio. The price could be around 200-500 euros. A studio in Paris (18-25 m2) costs at least 750-800 euros/month. And generally a flat in Paris - it's a miracle if you find it... Remember also that to rent a flat in France you need to prove that you earn the equivalence of 3 amounts of the rent (so for a studio = around 2400 euro). If not you, your parents can be taken as your guaranty. However, the owners prefer if the guaranty comes from someone who lives in France. Then eating, going out, traveling... You would need a bit for that. The money you'll get from the program will not cover it all.

2 :
French primary schools (also known as “écoles élémentaireâ€) cover the ages six to eleven with five courses studied, one for each year: The subjects taught are divided into three main groups: 1. French, history, geography and civic studies 2. Mathematics, science and technology 3. Physical education and sport, arts and crafts, and music By law pupils must receive twenty six hours of teaching per week. The teacher has some flexibility in deciding which subjects to spend time on out of the twenty six teaching hours per week. Children are likely to encounter more homework and high expectations from teachers. On the other hand many children in primary schools. They are taught foreign languages mostly English, Spanish and Italian.

Can a US student in France travel to other countries?
Can a US student in France travel to other countries?
Hi. I'm an American student planning on studying in Paris next August-May(1 school year) and I will have a student visa. I was wondering if I would be able to travel between countries during my vacation times/weekends. For example if I wanted to take an extended weekend trip to Italy, would I be able to do that on my student visa, or am I restricted to the country? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You'll be able to visit all Euros's Countries without any problem. Passport checked to visit other places like Switzerland, but not a problem at all.

It depends on your passport. Student visa are national visa which do not authorize travel to other countries. Your US passport however waives the visa requirement for travel as tourist for up to 90 days in a 180 day period. Passport holders of the following countries are visa waived for the Schengen area: Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Liechtenstein, Malaysia, Mexico, Monaco, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, USA, Uruguay, Vatican City, and Venezuela. Citizens of other non-EU countries require a visa prior to travel. Switzerland will become a Schengen country by the end of this week. Regular Passport controls will be eliminated on land borders however custom controls will still take place. Source(s): http://www.esteri.it/visti/home_eng.asp
