Personal comments
At first it was difficult for me because before I went to the host country I really didn't speak the language. Living with a french family truly made my experience better. I learned more about the culture, language, and customs than I would have if I lived by my self. I think thats the best way to advance and take advantage of the experience. I have learned so much. I still keep in touch with my family
