bonjours
mon fils de 13 ans voudrait effectuer un voyage linguistique cet ete pour apprendre l'anglais les organismes sont assez chers si vous aviez quelques plans pour se faire je vous en remercie par avance
La 1e chose est de voir avec votre comité d'entreprise, beaucoup prennent en charge une partie des frais et certains proposent même carrément des séjours pour les 13-17 ans des enfants de leurs employés.
Ensuite, tout dépend de ce que cherche votre fils: beaucoup de cours ou pas, du sport ou pas, quel type d'activité, en famille ou en résidence, en Angleterre, Ecosse, Irlande, ou Malte...

Bonjour,
Je suis moi-même lycéenne française et je cherche à partir en Angleterre cet été... Le plus simple serait juste dans une famille pour parler, et trouver un petit boulot ( moins faisable à 13 ans)... la meilleure solution serait de demander dans votre entourage si vous avez des connaissance.. qui connaissant peut-être des anglo-saxons... Mais je sais que je galère beaucoup... Je n'ai toujours rien trouvé et je cherche depuis novembre... J'avais pensé à fille ( ou fils) au pair mais c'est très compliqué (beaucoup d'arnaques sur internet)...
Je continue mes recherches en espérant trouver...
Je pense qu'en tant que mineur, et surtout 13 ans, ce qui est relativement jeune c'est encore plus délicat...
Il y a aussi des "colonies de vacances" en angleterre qui peuvent être très efficaces ! ( cela en fonctionne que pour les mineurs )
Bonne soirée !

Parmi les séjours linguistiques les moins chers il y a CLC. Parmi les plus intéressants il y a Telligo. Parmi les mieux encadrés il y a silc et lec. Ce sont des organismes que je connais mais il y en a plein d'autres qui sont très bien aussi. Vous pouvez lui faire demander à son prof d'anglais. Bien sûr si son collège propose un voyage linguistique, en profiter, car les tarifs défient toute concurrence.
Il suffit d'aller sur leur site et de demander un petit catalogue.
Pour un 1er séjour, on recommande 15 jours, et en Europe (GB ou Malte). Les séjours "à Londres" sont en général à 1h de Londres, avec une/des visites prévues. Je recommande plutôt l'accueil en résidence pour l'Angleterre car les familles d'accueil anglaises "font de l'accueil", c'est leur gagne-pain, donc ce n'est pas vraiment une famille. En Ecosse et Irlande la situation est différente et les familles sont plus sympas. A Malte les enfants ont beaucoup de liberté donc il faut des adolescents assez mûrs, qui n'iront pas faire la fête toute la nuit juste parce que leurs parents ne sont pas là (en revanche ils ont très beau temps, ça combine anglais et farniente.. c'est pourquoi il y a énormément de jeunes qui viennent.)
Bonjour,
En effet, la meilleure solution dans votre cas serait de trouver une famille de confiance directement sur place (mais sans garanties de la fiabilité) ou de voir avec votre cercle d'amis. L'avantage de passer par des organismes est que vous avez une garantie que votre enfant sera dans de bonnes mains car les familles sont sélectionnées soigneusement et visitées régulièrement. C'est pourquoi selon mois, faire partir nos plus jeunes dans le cadre de séjours linguistiques encadrés (de types vacances ou autres) vaut vraiment la peine car ils sont vraiment pris en charge. (pension complète, activité, cpours de langue...). Ce qui est moins de stress pour nous, les parents. Je prends l'exemple de ma fille que nous avons envoyé à Boston récemment par l’intermédiaire de l'organisme A.I.L.S. Elle a passé un séjour magnifique et est revenue avec un carnet d'adresse d'amis bien rempli, des souvenirs plein la tête et un vocabulaire en anglais plus développés. Vous pouvez également opter pour des destinations plus proches et souvent moins coûteuse comme Malte ou Chypre. On y pense pas souvent, mais ils parlent également anglais là-bas. Londres et les environs risquent d'être hors de prix cet été avec les Jeux Olympiques qui s'y dérouleront. Voilà, si cela peut vous éclairer davantage... Cordialement.

Pour un premier séjour cependant renseignez-vous sur les jumelages. La ville de Marseille a quantités de villes jumelées et propose donc des voyages auxquels il faut s'inscrire bien à l'avance. Outre un voyage en Grande Bretagne, si jamais il n'y a plus de place, un voyage dans un pays scandinave est aussi utile puisque les jeunes scandinaves parlent très bien anglais (ils regardent la télé en version originale, même les dessins animés à l'âge de 6 ans).
13 ans c'est un bon âge pour commencer et avoir un bon niveau d'anglais le plus tôt possible est indispensable, quelles que soient les études qu'il compte entreprendre (qu'il souhaite aller en bac pro, ou en lycée général et technologique): entre un bac pro logistique option européenne, et un bac pro logistique "simple", il n'y a pas photo. Lorsque 50% des élèves choisissent de faire une 1eS, seuls ceux qui ont une excellente maitrise de l'anglais pourront tirer leur épingle du jeu. Ce n'est pas pour rien qu'on a qualifié l'école française de "machine à trier" et actuellement, l'un des éléments du "tri", c'est l'anglais. C'est la 3e matière après le français et les maths qui décide de l'orientation en fin de 3e; dans les barèmes des BEP et bacs pro très demandés l'anglais est aussi voire plus important que les maths. Il y a une raison pour laquelle tant de jeunes font des séjours linguistiques, et que les comités d'entreprise prennent ceux-ci en charge, c'est pour que justement tous les milieux familiaux puissent donner la même chance à leurs enfants.

Hello,
Moi je suis en train de voir pour partir en Australie ou ailleurs avec EF Séjours Linguistiques et j'ai la possibilité de parrainer du monde (5% de réduc pour nous deux 🙂) si ça interresse....
En tout cas à son age, il lui faudra définitivement un séjour encadré à mon avis. C'est pas évident et pas rigolo quand on a 13 ans, qu'on attend les vacances pour s'éclater entre copains et qu'au final on se retrouve dans une famille où l'on ne comprend rien.... Un séjour linguistique avec cours le matin + activités/visites/sport l'après midi + hebergement en famille + des camarades du monde entier +des animateurs qui veillent sur son confort et sa sécurité, je pense que c'est le mieux pour le sensibiliser aux langues et à la découverte de nouvelles cultures et "murir".
Très bien de commencer à cet age, si seulement j'avais eu cette chance....

Si vous voulez que votre enfant ne parte pas trop loin, vous pouvez opter pour une colonie de vacances comme Little Big Land. Mon fils de 12 ans y est allé, il y a des monos anglophones et les activités sont centrées sur ce qui se fait dans les pays anglosaxons. Pas trop cher, pas trop loin.
Salut Premamar, je t'écris car j'ai vu que tu cherchais un voyage lingustique, je ne sais pas quel est ton budget mais moi même étudiante je suis passé par l'agence travel and speak qui propose des prix vraiment bas, je sais pas si tu as comparé avec les autres, c'est vraiment moins cher.
si tu veux plus de détails écris moi à cette adresse, je pourrai toujours te donner plus de conseils concernant le séjour en lui même.
A bientôt !

Hi everyone,
My name is Deborah, I’m French. I’m married and have two children. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotraumatology, and I’m also pursuing medical studies.
For some time now, I’ve been seriously considering moving to the United States. My long-term goal is to practice medicine in the U.S., with a particular interest in forensic pathology. I know the journey is demanding (USMLE, residency, fellowship, etc.), but I’m ready to commit to several years of hard work.
For now, I’m focused on building this project thoughtfully. I want to improve my English, better understand the American system, and connect with people who’ve already gone through this process or are living in the U.S.
I have a few questions:
- Are there any doctors or international students here who’ve successfully matched into a U.S. residency? - When did you start preparing for the USMLE? - What advice would you give to someone still in medical school? - Which states would you recommend for a future career in forensic pathology, with a good quality of life and good schools for kids? - Is it better to do an observership or a research fellowship before applying for residency? - What are, in your opinion, the pitfalls to avoid when planning such a project?
Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to respond. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol

Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
