First of all, I want to thank all the people I made their acquaintance during my stay in Caen, and especially B and M, the family that greeted me, and M too. I mean I was very happy with my stay at B and M, they are very nice. I can’t forget when I fell a little sick how much B and M took care of me. I learned many things from them not just about the French language, but about life in general. Time passed very quickly in Caen.
Thank you once again for all.
“Living with a host family is not just having a home…
I wanted to live with a family to improve my French but I had so much more. We exchanged our ideas, our traditions and our culture. I felt that I was able to discover France as a local. It was a total immersion, and in the end, I have my “French family” for life. After seeing my host family three times since my semester in Caen I can say with confidence that I would never change my experience or my new family for nothing. I am very grateful for my experience with the ACAU and my family! “
“I had a great time with my host family. I can honestly say that they are the first reason why my experience in France was so exceptional. Unlike staying at the university residence, a host family offers French conversation and French cuisine each night. I was taken on excursions on weekends where I had nothing planned, I was free to go out where guest friends at home but most importantly, I had a support system when I needed it most. In addition, I perfected my French faster than I could have imagined! “
“In my opinion, the decision to choose to stay with a French family gave me the right opportunity to know and immerse myself in French culture. Out of my family I had never received a warm welcome like the one I had when I arrived in France. From the beginning, I felt integrated, I didn’t feel like a stranger. It was a unique experience that allowed me to deepen my knowledge in French language and culture. Beyond everything, I met and discovered a lot of people I never would have found otherwise. It’s more than just a pre-paid meal and lodging. It is the connections and knowledge that I have made and that I will never forget. “
“My stay here is beautiful. I am very happy to have had the opportunity to live with a French family. I have the opportunity to practice my French every day and I learn French culture. My host Family “the Tribout” is very friendly and they are always there if I need something. It’s an experience I’ll never forget.”
