What are possible small towns in France where Spanish is what they mostly speak?
What are possible small towns in France where Spanish is what they mostly speak?
I met a girl during spring break in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. She was an exchange student from France and was studying in Universidad de Guadalajara. I am trying to remember the town name that she said she was from. She told me that her town wasn't that big and that Spanish was a major language where she was from. I spoke to her in English when i met her and she told me that it was very hard for her to understand English. She spoke perfect Spanish.

U should go 2 the South of France - as they all have to learn spanish there - ike Toulouse n places. Hope that helps!

.......monaco? i think...

It's likely one of the small towns in the Pyrenees along France's border with Spain and Andorra. If you go to this interactive map http://france.umka.org/ and zoom in, you can follow the border (gray line on the map) and maybe you'll recognize the name.

Okay in my experience there are very few places in France where the people actually speak something other than French (kind of like the US except more extreme because they have fewer immigrants - outside Paris of course). In Paris they will refuse to speak anything other than French, which is kind of a bummer because my French is quite poor. That's just my view of it from my limited travel experience (I did go through Spain and southern France).

Good agencies for exchange students to France?
Good agencies for exchange students to France?
I'm a high school student in French 5, and I really want to host a French student, and then also go to be hosted in France as well. I asked my french teacher for a good agency, but she claims she doesn't know any. Who are the best with hooking you up for an exchange program? Links would be awesome.

Should i go to france?? exchange student?
Should i go to france?? exchange student?
my mom and my family said yes to it, and are alreading saving for me to go for my sophomore year for a whole year but im having secong thoughts about it.. okay, i know in college they will love that i went to france.. and i would be fluent in 3 languages if i did so.. BUT 1. i came here 1 year ago, and took me quite a long time to adjust at how things work (math-wise and school-wise) since is different.. and i think (thinking about my SAT's) that i'm already in disadvantage because i know less english than native english speakers and ebcause they thaught me different things.. (ex. i hadn't been taught geography yet, i would learn that for my sophomore back where i come from.. etc) even though im REALLY smart and get staright A's.. if i go to france ill have to adjust again.. and twice for when i come back.. and since i will miss out on some things my SAT's score will probably end up being even lower! (I'm kinda aming for a perfect score) 2. In france the school system is different so i doubt is with credits and that im going to be able to double up on stuff to get to study college classes, and im probably going to miss a year and a half of it.. so it will be even harder to get to the tops of all the classes... SOOO what do YOU think i should do???? HELP!?

did you come here from a european country? that would help with the adjustment. personally, i would be terrified of the change/the whole not knowing anyone, but it would be an AMAZING life experience. in the grand scheme of things, i really think that an experience like that will help you alot more in the long run/as a person. You will learn many things that other kids wont from taking this route vs the more traditional route, and i honestly believe that it will make you a more successful person in the future. You will also learn alot more about yourself. Im sure you can make up all your HS credits without a problem, and worse case senario take classes in the summer. I must sound really old but Im in HS and in kind of of the same position as you. I moved here from Italy a while back so i know what you mean about the adjustment here. Another thing you need to take into account is that european schools are ALOT harder. I remember when i came here from italy, i was multiple grades above all the kids my age, and they give ALOT more homework. Alot of people i know over there complan about not having a life due to the heavy course work.However this is also a positive for you collage wise, because US collages know how much harder european schools are so getting an education there is quite impressive, and they also allow for a much lower GPA to get into their collage(due to the difficulty). I dont want to scare you regarding difficulty. I went to a very high end, strict, catholic private school, in a very wealthy area so I wouldnt know about anywhere else, but i do know that europe generally has a higher standard when it come to education. hope that helps
