French citizen going to England or Ireland?

Question

Hi everybody. I am a black french citizen, 21 yo and i have a highschool diploma. I would like to go to England or Ireland and work there from july 21st maybe to the end of August. I would like like to find accomodation in these countries (by finding roommate maybe) I do not know which country to choose. I understand the american accent but sometimes i have a hard time understanding british accent ( sometimes i cant understand what skynews journalists are saying at all) and i heard the Irish accent was even worse (no disrespect) What country would you advise me to go to? Where am i most likely to understand people accent in England? What about Ireland? Where am i most likely to find cheap accomodation (by finding a roommate maybe) in these countries? I do not have a driving license where should i go in these countries? I mean where is there good public transportation? What job am i most likely to get? How should i write my cover letter and resume. Help me find accomodation please

Answer 1

are you winding us up?

you can't understand the posh sky news journalists!

if you can understand english, you should be able to understand the toffs on there.

Answer 2

i terms of accents - may i suggest the midlands (not birmingham) as the accents are plain

jobs? have a look at some websites for temporary posts, or have a look at your local leonardo placement programme, as you may be able to get work expereince somewhere set up with accomodation

no car? public transport is ok in britain - ireland is a little more sparce depending where you go
