Experience as au pair! Hello everybody, I would like to share my experience as au pair (and of course practise some English!) So, I'm go back to France nearly, on 17 of August, I'm there since 24 of May. It was a good experience, I arrived with a very low level in English, now it's better! I think it's the best way to learn English (or another language!). I have two families, one who host me, feed me, and the other one pay me! There are neightbours. I'm working for both families! I have two girls in one family and two as well in the other one. They are 4,7,6,3 years old! I'm doing some housework but most often I'm looking after children. I play with them, drop them to their activity (swimming, gym, ballet, tennis). Now, my trip is nearly finish, but it's a very good experience when you have a good family who help you, integrate you in their family. But for me, 3 months it's enough, because I miss my friends, my family, I need to go home now. I would like to speak English fluently, so I am not enough brave for stay one year. So, now I'm looking for an exchange partner, I think that the next year, I going to England again but I don't know where for the moment. Thanks for read me!

Experience as an au pair!

Hello everybody, I would like to share my experience as an au pair (and of course practise some English!)
So, I'm soon going back to France nearly, on 17 of August, I'm there I've been here since 24 of May.

Hope that helps!

Thank you! I know why it's wrong, this is a silly mistake because I know that! It's a lack of attention (I can say that in English?). Yes of course, I want!

I tried to correct this, but something went wrong! Ree's corrections are pretty close to mine, so I'm not going to do it over again. The one thing I want to point out is that "family" is a singular noun, so make sure your verbs all match that. "The family pays", not "The family pay". You made that mistake a few times, so I want to make sure you know why it's wrong. :-) I am looking for people to correspond with in French, so if you want we can try to figure out an exchange of some sort!
