I have been in France for the past month. I already speak French and I just returned to Paris from a week in Colmar with 2 French friends. We rented a cottage which was lovely as we had a garden and ate our meals outdoors. We also went to some wonderful meals ao Mountaintop Auberges. Everything was very inexpensive, except the gas for the car. Speaking French makes a big difference.

Hello Sarina and thanks for your message. Sounds like you are having a great time in France. It is lovely in the Alsace region - different to the hussle and bussle of Paris? How much longer will you be staying in France?

I hope on your next trip you will join us on a Eurolingua One-to-One French Homestay programme or at our French language school in Montpellier, languedoc-Roussillon, South of France. http://www.eurolingua.com/programmes-mainmenu-100/language-programm...

I will stay in France until 3 Sept. I will be here 5 weeks total. I have stayed with friends in Fountainblau, Angers and Paris and travelled to Colmar. I am American but I studied dance in France for 3 summers so I met many friends. I have visited languedoc-Roussillon and it was wonderful especially the food. Your school sounds interesting but I already speak French and I travel very I inexpensively but I would love to visit your school one day. I was very serious about learning French and I am now studying Italian.
A bientot et merci por l'invitation.
Sarina

Ciao Sarina,

Here's an idea for Italian study.

EUROLINGUA ONE-TO-ONE ITALIAN LANGUAGE HOMESTAYS

The Eurolingua One-to-One Italian Homestays are available year round in some of Italy’s most beautiful locations. You live in your tutor’s own home as a guest of the family, sharing family meals, social and cultural activities. Your host is, of course, a fully qualified and experienced native Italian language tutor who provides structured individual lessons, customised to your interests, language level and pace of learning. You learn to speak Italian with an authentic accent, naturally, fluently and with spontaneity. Not least of all, you learn how to understand the spoken language!! Typically, the Italian Homestay is 1 to 4 weeks in quality private accommodation, with all usual Italian family meals and participation in the family’s social and cultural life. Choose 15 to 25 hours per week formal tuition. Arrive as a guest, leave as a friend!!

Thank you but as I expected it is much too expensive for me. It sounds wonderful for people with money but I spend less than 1000 Euros for 5 weeks and I stay with friends and I go out with friends every day and travelled a lot.
