One of the Problems with Anglo / French exchanges is the two different systems. If you are in France and you are on a course run by ANPE you have to find your own Stage Practical, No one does it for you. At Uni you find your own accomadation , buy your own books etc, and inter react with the others within your subjects. And of course France being bigger most of the people within the class will most probably not even be from the same region nor mind the same department. My daughter has been French educated since 7 years old and is reading English at Uni, she is having some difficulties because she still has an English mind set. The Logic of the French Education System even in English is different, she gets some of her completely French Educated Friends to explain how certain English idioms are. I am at a loss to understand it when she explains it to me. The only advice I can give is that if you do not have a competent command of French do not come to Uni here, you will lose to much to warrant it. Michael    Report
