Many French families want English speaking babysitters to help their children with their English. I also found children are not at all scared to correct your French. This is very helpful and it doesn't hurt as bad when it comes from an eight year old.

Never ever miss the 11e arrondissement's summer festival including performances and film screenings. I also loved most of the expos and splurged on a season's pass to the Pompidou Centre. Check out www.darwah-group.fr to know what's REALLY going on.

Even though French is not quite easy, m skills really improved during the year in Paris. In the courses you don't get to speak a lot, but because of the pressure of exams and the outstanding social life possibilities, you can rather easily advance.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Although living with a family was great, I would want more privacy if I were to live in paris for a longer period of time.
