🙂🙂🙂 Salu!
J'ai prévu de partir au Caire au mois de Janvier et d'y rester jusque Mai. Mai je n'y sui jamai allé!!!
J'y vais car j'ai trouvé une école pour apprendre l'arabe, le centre fajr, eske kelkun connai???
Mais il ne propose pa d'appartemen, et j'ai peur d'arriver san rien connaitre et d'etr perdu san appart!!! Bon je fabul un peu, mai sérieusemen, eske kelkun peu me dir si il est facil 2 trouvé des appart, ou au moin un hotel pa cher pour lé 1ère nui.
Et j'ai prévu environ 2000euros pour les 5 mois, eske vou pensez ke cela est suffisan???
SVP aidez moi. Merci
Bon je te rassure, la vie n'est pas chère au Caire. Pour les hôtels, il y a des adresses convenables à partir de 10 euros. Généralement, je vais au Bostan Hotel. Pour la nourriture, tu peux manger pour 2 ou 3 euros, si tu ne te rends pas dans les restos à touristes.
Maintenant avec 2000 euros pour 5 mois, ça me paraît un peu léger surtout si tu ne connais pas le Caire. Tu peux toujours te déplacer en métro (ça coûte trois fois rien), mais la ville est tellement vaste tu seras parfois obligée de prendre le taxi et les tarifs ne sont plus les mêmes.
Sinon, tu as bien de la chance de rester autant de temps dans cette ville qui est absolument merveilleuse. Mais il te faudra un certain temps pour t'adapter car elle est gigantesque et bruyante.
Si tu as d'autres questions, je suis prêt à y répondre
Christophe

Bonjour,
Je souhaite partir 2 ou 3 mois en Egypte pour apprendre l´arabe mais je ne sais pas quelle ecole choisir. J´hesite entre le fajr center, ALC, ou une ecole qui s´appelle AHLAN a Alexandrie. Est que le TAFL center d´Alexandrie existe encore?
Merci de votre aide
cindy
salut cindy
voila, l ecole a alaxandrie je connais, par contre au caire j ai trouvé une ecole ou il y a bq de francais qui apprennent l arabe, 'el andalus" c est masr gadida elle n est pas cher et en plus ils ont logements interressant, si tu veux les coordonnees je te les donnerais la prochaines fois car je ne les ai pas sur moi, au faite tu part quand? a alexandrie c est pas terrible, mais le caire il ya bq a voir et il y a ausssi ALAzhar
Salut!
Merci de ta reponse. Je compte partir fin Juin et rester jusqu´a debut Septembre...
J´ai fait des recherches mais sur certains sites ils ne parlent pas des cours de 2008. Il ya ceux de l´universite d´Alexandrie au Tafl Center ou la st Joseph school. Sinon oui je veux bien les coordonnes de l´ecole dont tu m´as parle.
Sinon on m´avait deconseille le Caire car c´etait trop touristique et tres oppressant. Je ne sais pas ce que tu en penses...
Cindy
j'ai étée au caire pendant un an pour apprendre l'arabe, j'ai etudie au centre el fajr et andalus, moi je te conseille fortement el fajr ils ont une tres bonne methode d'apprentissage, n'hesite pas a harceler les professeurs de questions tu evolura encore plus vite les cours coutent a peu pres 85 euros par niveau de 75h de cours, c'est pas intense il vont a ton rythme contrairement au centre ibannah qui te mette une grosse pression sur les epaules. voila
je prévois egalement de prendre des cours d'arabe au caire à compter du début du mois d'octobre 2008 et pour une durée d'un an.
Personnellement j'ai opté pour le fajr center (http://www.fajr.com ), je n'y suis jamais allé auparavant mais je n'ai lu que des commentaires positifs sur cette école sur les différent forum que j'ai visité.
En plus ce n'est pas très cher ( environ 60 euros par niveau qui compte 75 heures et qui dure 5 semaines).
par ailleurs je serais tres intéressée par la proposition de colocation si celle ci est toujours ouverte.
salut fadoua!
je viens de lire ton message où tu annonces que tu as opté pour le fajr center pour aller étudier l'arabe au caire pendant un an.
pour ma part, je voudrais faire la session d'aout de cet été, mais lorsque je me suis renseignée sur le site, j'ai compris qu'ils voulaient que l'on paye par internet :
"To guarantee your place, we request that the following deposit fees be paid online prior to the start of Summer Program through a third party secure portal".
Qu'en penses-tu? as-tu peut être plus d'infos sur les possibilités de paiement? (possible sur place?)
Penses-tu que c'est sûr?
Bonjour nora,
en effet, selon eux c'est mieux de payer via le site pour être sur d'avoir une place. Je ne pense pas qu'il y ait de risque à payer via le site puisque le paiement est sécurisé .Si tu préféres payer sur place tu devrais leur demander par mail (info@fajr.com) si, dans ce cas, ta place sera quand même garantie .
Je vois que cette discussion date de quelques années déjà, mais j'ai quelques questions pour vous, chers participants.
Je voudrais moi aussi partir étudier l'arabe au Caire et le Fajr Center me semble être l'école qui répond le plus à mes besoins. Mon plan est de suivre un cours de début mai à début juin et un autre cours de fin juin à fin juillet. Entre les deux cours, je veux visiter le pays. Je prendrai mon appartement pour les mois de mai-juin-juillet.
1. Je voudrais savoir s'il est fiable d'acheter nos cours en ligne (payer à l'avance) et si vous y avez reçu de bons services.
2. J'aimerais aussi savoir s'il est facile de trouver un appartement dans Nsar city et quel prix je dois m'attendre à payer (question de ne pas me faire avoir).
3. Si je pars trois mois en Égypte et que je suis deux cours de 75 heures plus un cours privé de 25 heures, vais-je avoir une bonne base en arabe? Vais-je revenir en ne sachant que quelques mots sans être capable de faire des phrases complètes?
4. Finalement, si vous avez des conseils basés sur votre expérience, j'aimerais beaucoup les lire.
Hi,
I’m looking for real first-hand experiences from adults who’ve done a language stay in Canada, specifically in Vancouver or Toronto.
There are so many different schools and reviews that are both negative and positive (how can you tell if they’re genuine?!) that I’d rather hear from real people.
I’m looking for fun courses where you really make progress in speaking and comprehension.
+ Homestay accommodation: good or bad idea?
I’m 35—this would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me since I’ve dreamed about it since I was 17!
I really don’t want to mess this up, especially given how much it costs!
Hi,
I’m leaving on September 4th for Vancouver as a tourist for 6 months.
My boyfriend works there, so I’m going to visit him. I’d like to take the opportunity to learn English at a school during October and November.
Could you recommend any schools—price, activities, location, reputation, etc.?
Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde.
I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better.
I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help!
Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone
After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
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...
What price should I expect to pay for a modest small apartment or a large room in a bedroom community in Quito? Are restaurants and food expensive? And which airline is best to travel from Montreal? Thanks for your answers
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!
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has already had the experience of working abroad?
I don’t have a specific country in mind yet, so I’m open to hearing about your experiences on this topic—the pros and cons, etc.
Hi there!
I’m a young Malian looking to work in Morocco. Besides a passport, what other documents are required at the **Moroccan** border?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there. I’m planning to move to Luxembourg around December 2025 or January 2026. I’ll be looking for a job and settling in. My question is: is it too complicated to find housing? Is the job market more advantageous and easier than in France? I’m open to any information that could help me.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?
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!
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.?
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.
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 there,
I’ve been living in Bali for a month now, but unfortunately on a VOA visa. I’m looking for a European company that’s set up in Indonesia. I’m in electrotechnical maintenance—air conditioning, cold rooms, 220V/380V electricity. I’ve been a tradesperson for 3 months and can bring my full professional toolkit. If anyone’s interested, let me know!
You can send me a message.
Best regards,
I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too.
Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese?
I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.
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?
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! 🥺🏻
I'm looking for an au pair who'd like to come to Bournemouth in the south of England, and I'd love to know what the best websites are to find one, please.
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?
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?
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.
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! 😄
