Exchange student--- to france?
hello! I'm 13 years old, and for my freshman year, or sophomore, i would like to go on exchange to france (wherever in france) i live in MN, are there any schools here that do that? what should i do to do that? how much money would it be? thank you! ps: i would like to do it mostly to learn the language a little more, i'm studying french, and i already know spanish and english, and i know the only way to truly learn a language is to be where they speak it--

im also going on an exchange to Spain and the way i got involved was through people who came to my school, im going through ISE it's a Canadian program but maybe you can find another program threw them. also mine costs around $2400 (Canadian) for 3 months

I had a really good friend this past year who had a girl from France stay with her! I personally do not know much about it but i am sure there will be schools in france that do exchanges! Being a foreign exchange student can be quite a lot of money while Hosting a student technically costs nothing! Being a foreign exchange student you are required to cover all costs: flights to and from, spending money, etc. The host family that would potentially host you would most likely include you in their family meals. The only cost to you for food may be going to restaurants, etc. That is all I really know. You can go to afs.org to learn more! AFS is an intercultural exchange program. There you can find out a lot of information and you can even come in contact with an American volunteer near you! Hope this helped to an extent!

should i get a boy or girl foreign exchange student?
should i get a boy or girl foreign exchange student?
So my family has decided to host a student from France this summer for three weeks. We can't decide between a 17 yr old boy or a 15 yr old girl. I am 17 and the oldest of four girls in my family. I don't have any brothers, so that is one reason we would like a boy. But we think the boy would go crazy in a house full of girls and a girl could adapt easier. Boy..girl..boy..girl. Which?

I would recommend the girl. The girl would adapt easier like you said, and she might not be as uncomfortable as the boy. However, the boy might be comfortable with girls. I don't think Europeans think like Americans do. It might also push him to go meet other people as he will find comfort in other (boys). So, actually, if you prefer, it might be good to go with the boy. =) You can argue for both. But a boy would be interesting to have around the house, and he would eventually get comfortable with all of you ^_^ So I say go for the boy!
2 :
well i can't decide either, you have to think yourself why dont you host me some other time I'm from India and would like to study there well im kidding

Make life easy for everyone. Girl.

A girl will get along better with your family, while a boy will feel out-of-place. Since it's only a short summer stay, he's not going to have the chance to meet as many boys his own age like he would if it was during the school year. If he ever has a problem he won't feel as comfortable coming to anyone in your family about it because the people around his age are all female and the only guy he knows is the same age as his father. A boy will also want to do activities that you and your sisters probably would not enjoy as much. Since it's only a short stay, you can't think of this guy as a stand-in brother because three weeks really isn't long enough for him to adjust and start to feel like family. He's going to stay as a guest in your house, as it takes longer for close bonds to happen, especially between the opposite sexes.

What are some legitimate work at home opportunities I could do from France as a US citizen?
What are some legitimate work at home opportunities I could do from France as a US citizen?
I am an American student living in France. I go to school and have a art time job, but I need to make about 200-400euro more a month to stay afloat. Does anyone know of any home based jobs I could do from my computer, or even a collection of smaller jobs that would help me reach my goal? I am relatively good with computers and im open to (almost!) anything. Thanks so much for your help, it is very much appreciated.

There are many legitimate ways to make money remotely as a US citizen, however it can be overwhelming figuring out which way is best. I found the best way to make this happen (after trying every way possible) is through advertising other peoples products online and getting a commission each time someone buys from your ad. I started doing this a little over 1 month ago, and so far I have made a significant amount of money- more than I was making daily at my 9am - 5pm job. Most people have no idea how to do this or where to even begin, however, with LEGITIMATE proper direction AND a little money invested in self educating yourself (NOTHING COMES FOR FREE PERIOD!!!!), the task becomes a reality. Unlike most people, I actually did spend the time and money self educating myself and I can tell you from personal experience this works without a doubt. Go to my website and see for yourself. www.moneybaggs.com Good luck!!

It just so happens that I am also interested in earning money online. But at first it can be a big struggle to find the right way to make money online that suits you. I was doing some research some time ago and I found something that really pays off. I thought it had relevant information to your case, and you can earn big amounts. Take a look at my web page and see for your self : http://www.fidobada.ws You can easily make 400$ and many more! All you have to do is to invite people. You are not selling anything or reading e-mails or clicking adds ... Or maybe that suites you better : http://www.peoplestring.com/register/?r=zalkarija You get money for junk mail, but here you cant get such a big amounts. Both companies really pay! I can proof! Fell free to ask me for any help! Good luck!

Have you ever been a Foreign Exchange student?
Have you ever been a Foreign Exchange student?
I really, really, really, REALLY, really, want to be a foreign exchange student in France for the summer. Any experiences?

I was. It was mostly a good experience. It's tough to be in a different country and try to adjust to their culture, though. I came across as quite the douche more than once. You make social mistakes without even realizing you did it.
2 :
No, but I've been friends with many. What I seem to notice most is that they have trouble assimilating well into an environment that is completely different than their own. They screw up without even noticing. Also, be careful in France. I'm sure the French are nice but I've heard from some Americans who foreign exchanged over there that they are a little prejudiced towards Americans. I wouldn't be surprised. America has a bad rep.

I sit next to one n science class. hes german
4 :
Ive never been one, but we had one come from France before and it was really sad b/c she couldn't speak English at all and every night when we went to bed she would cry. I felt really bad for her.
5 :
Actually there's a girl in my homeroom from Canada. It's not really a foreign place, it's practically America's sister but she kind of has a hard time because it's still a different country and everything. She's funny and really smart in math but a lot of kids ignore her as if there's a big culture difference in f*cking between Canada and the States. Oh and my dad's friend had one and she lived there for a while. She was German and spoke four different languages...except English, which was odd. Basically she was their housekeeper and she didn't even have a problem with it.

I'm going to Italy and staying with a host family this summer and going to school there for 3 weeks, but nobody is coming back to my house. If you have any questions, like about the program I'm using or reccomendations, feel free to email me : )
