Sixth form French exchange experience

We have the opportunity to do an exchange with a French student, but I'm rather apprehensive :/ has anyone had any good/bad experiences with a language exchange trip? Thanks

I didn't go because I was a bit apprehensive like yourself... Everyone came back hating it. Was so funny.

But having said that. I think it's a good experience to have maybe

I know it would definitely help my French, but I it could potentially be a week of hell :P

That's why I didn't go

I still got highest in the class though

Really? What did you get if you don't mind me asking?

Just goes to show that the exchange isn't even necessary

I know it would definitely help my French, but I it could potentially be a week of hell :P

Oral 80/80
Written Paper 108/120

I should have got full but I had a bad day and I didn't do any revision anyway

If it's just one week, you should go. You will learn what real food is.

Will you live in a hotel or with a family?

Wow! Share your secret

Not quite the same but I've had a penfriend for almost two years now, who I've skyped and talked to on Facebook, and finally met with this summer. I stayed with her for two weeks, and then we had a week break before she stayed with me for two weeks too. We get on extremely well so I really, really enjoyed it. You really get to experience French life - especially the food. Plus, your oral skills really do improve. I say go for it - better to try than not go and regret it if everyone else enjoyed it!

Ahhh the only issue is that you knew the person beforehand! I'm just really worried that I wont get along with the family at all! Other than that, it does sound like an amazing experience
