Answer 1

If you can get information and go abroad through school, that would deffinitly be the first thing you should look into. My school doesn't have a special program though, so I found AFS online (afs.com) and have just sent in my completed application. I'm also hoping to go to France for a semester of school my 11th grade year, which will be next year for me. I think you'd do fine with two years of French. You'd be able to communicate and you'd pick up on other words very quickly. For more information, either talk to someone in the coucilor's department at your school or go to afs.com and browse around on there. Best of luck to you!
