France... famous for baguettes, chateaux, onions, great wine, berets and stripy tops. The ideal destination for anyone who likes any of the above, but also a fantastic place to learn about European culture, teach English and... eat snails! This programme will take you off the beaten track to live with and teach English to typical French families in return for your room and board. You'll have plenty of free time to see for yourself why France is the number 1 tourist destination in the world and to learn a bit of French yourself in the company of fantasticaly friendly people. Bon voyage!
When your placement has been confirmed, it’ll be your responsibility to discuss with your host family what form the lessons will take - i.e. the number of formal lessons, dinner conversation, sharing activities with the children, playing games in English, etc. It is also important to agree a schedule so that everybody is clear about when you will be teaching and when it is your "time off".
You will help your host family with their English studies for up to 15 hours per week. Lessons can be as formal or relaxed as the family and you desire.
We suggest that you prepare teaching tools in advance using the many web resources available, as well as bringing a dictionary and a grammar book to refer to.
Trip Notes include a full itinerary, country guides and travel advice on visas, money, insurance and the local weather. By filling in your details you'll also be kept updated on all the latest news, offers and stories on this particular trip. Happy reading!
Minimum 18 years, maximum decided on potential participants’ health.
Your host family offers half board and private accommodation. Facilities are shared with the family. Each family is interviewed and carefully selected taking into account their genuine desire to learn a new language and share their culture with the participants.
Full details of your host family accommodation will be provided approximately 2 weeks prior to your programme start date.
Breakfast and dinner are included and will be provided by your host family. Please inform us if you have any special dietary requirements.
Reality Check
Being part of your host family, you will be expected to keep your room tidy and clean and respect the host family’s rules. You will not be requested to act as a domestic help or an au pair - namely cooking / cleaning or child-minding. However, you will be expected to take a reasonable role with day to day household chores, such as helping to prepare meals, washing up, general tidying etc.
Throughout your programmes you will have the support and guidance of the programme co-ordinator and team. You will be provided with competent assistance and help with any questions or advice you may need during your stay.

Experiencing French culture, travelling round the region and seeing the sights, meeting some lovely people.
1. Take any opportunity that comes your way, then you'll have no regrets. 2. Knowing the language does help, even if it's just a few phrases. People appreciate that you are making an effort and that you don't just expect everyone to know English. 3. I keep a travel journal and I made a blog for my family and friends back home. I think it's good to record your trips so you can look back on them in the future. It's also a good idea to let everyone back home know how you are doing. Taking as many photos as possible is a good thing to do as well.

Becoming more confident with children, visiting the surrounding towns and villages, fantastic weather. Very cheap bus journeys! Discovering I can cope outside my comfort zone. Dramatic improvement in understanding of French.
1 - No real need for wellies or lots of hoodies in South France 2 - Keeping a journal or writing letters helps distract you from missing home 3 - Make sure every day you are busy, even if it's just walking to the local village
