Maple syrup is a must! A selection of postcards of places near where you live also. A book with photographs and some info of places to see and visit near you, places that she will probably visit whilst she's there so she'll have a reminder when she goes back. A souvenir of the Niagara Falls also.

Has anyone ever learnt to speak french fluently or almost fluently by spending a year in france?
How hard was it? The reason I'm asking is cuz i want to spend my last year of high school as an exchange student in France, but I don't know any french at all. And I cant take it as a subject in school cuz you need to have taken it from the begining. Any experiences or advice at all would be appreciated.. Thanks.

no it is not possible, but if u start french coaching and wirk very hard its possible, cheers

If you study french in France in addition to exposing yourself to the language and making the effort to communicate with others outside of the classroom (e.g. at restaurants, at the store, etc), then you should at least develop a proficiency in the language. I want to do the same :)

Gaining fluency within any language is great skill to acquire. Everyone learns languages at different rates so everyone must start from the beginning. I am a program advisor with Intrax Study Abroad, and we provide an Academic year, Fall/ Spring semester, and summer program in France. We beleive that the only way to become fluent within a language is to immerse yourself in it, meaning living within the country for an extended amount of time. With our long-term programs, students are living within a French family homestay and attending a local high school in which all of their courses are taught in French. While it's not a guarantee that you will be fluent in French, you will at least be able to develop your conversational skills. For more info, check out: www.intraxstudyabroad.com

You don't normally need any insurance as in France Health is free for all, you just need to register at the securité sociale and you will be covered for everything. If you need more informations check this link this a major Health company for student and this in english too http://www.lmde.com/fileadmin/pdf/international/anglais.pdf
