I really want to take English class and work at the same time. Any advice? There are a lot of "services" I've noticed that charge 1500 euros or more to help you with this. But I was thinking that if I head to Montpellier or somewhere with $4,000, some recommendations from my French restaurant boss, that I might be fine just finding stuff myself. I speak average French, read fairly well, but nowhere near fluent. I'm open to living anywhere, working anywhere, but I'm thinking a summer job in a restaurant or pub near the coast might be a good time. OH! And I discovered that because I'm 28, I'm too old to au pair?! What a slap in the face! (if anyone wants to trade rooms in an apartment, let me know. I live in BROOKLYN! The coolest place ever.) deleted_63974 deleted Post Count: 4 Msg: #2 222 days ago, March 5th 2008 | Aix en provence is the best place to live. its so beautiful and only like 30km to the coast. you can work in one of the many cafes there because so many tourists come in summer that i bet it would be easy to get a job since you speak english. | newyorkhabitat.com is a good place to look for finding accommodation. there is this guy at ny habitat named gilles that lives in aix who can help you. they do charge a fee though. you can take summer class at the ieefc in aix, one of the greatest school to learn french. i went there for a year last year and it was such a good school. i used to live in the most amazing apt in aix and would have traded you for a place in brooklyn, but im already back in the states!! good luck! <SNIP> [Edited: 08:49 - Administration - Url removed.

I'm french (so I'm living in france, near Nice in Provence) If you need some adresses to apply, I can find some for you. Number of Users: 3 | Number of Posts: 4 | ||||||||||||
