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.

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
