SEEKING
BRITISH HOST
FAMILIES
in France and the UK
Would you or someone you know
like to host a French student and earn some extra income ?
French employers are increasingly demanding that their employees have
the ability to speak English. So much so that many French university
students and young workers are now actively seeking ways to improve
their level in the English language and thereby their job prospects.
As a result, we have been asked by the French to arrange stays with
English families both in France and in England.
Our students are mostly over 18 and many of them already in responsible
employment.
We also receive demands for teenagers stays in the summer.
It can be a very rewarding experience for all concerned and also provide
the host families with extra income.
Some of our French guests have also been looking for English lessons as
well as a stay in a British family so we would also like to hear from
qualified teachers of English.
Many of you have already asked to be included in our host family list
and we are now looking for other potential families in order to give our
guests a wider choice of stay.
Do please then write to us here at Help in France (using the contact
form on our website) if you are interested and we will supply you with
more information and a short form to fill in.
I am an English/American Avon manager in the south Haute
Vienne. Opportunities exist for new representatives in the Haute Vienne,
Creuse, Dordogne, Charente, Correze and the Lot. You will have fun, meet people
and earn money. Training, support and advice given. Ring Pat 06 33 90 07 58 or

editor with 20 years' inhouse experience in the UK and Australia and if
