Has anyone been on school exchange to france?

Question

interested to know your thoughts, experiences and feelinggs

i am going on one at the end of the year

Answer 1

I was - but it was odd because we were sent from an English boarding school to live in the houses of the students sent to England. I was 11, got by with "Oui" and "merci" and smiling and nodding a lot. I wouldn't say it helped my language skills but was worthwhile just to see the sights and broaden my horizons.

Answer 2

I really want to go on one! I am in french immersion and can write fluently but I still feel scared speaking it - there isn't much practice here, anyways. My friend went on one and said it was amazing. I really want to go to france for grade 12 but I don't know if we can afford it :(
