Take a look at what it’s all about as far as the participants of the Bristol-Bordeaux Exchange are concerned...it’s about having FUN! “It was great! I had a blast!” “My French family took me skiing. Brilliant” “I met a French girl who was to become my best friend” “I had an amazing time. It was absolutely brilliant!” “I have more all-round confidence from meeting new people” “It was a wonderful experience to enjoy. Entertaining our French visitor and teaching her the differences of French and English culture. We did so many things in Bristol that I had not done before!” The exchange is about learning so many different things about French and France “My French is so much better now” “I did really well in my French exam when I got back” “I have more cultural awareness” “As a result of the exchange my French has improved” “It’s great - how much you can learn in a fortnight” “I have had to learn to be more tolerant and thoughtful to somebody else” “We learnt about different family cultures” “I feel as though I have been able to experience a different culture fully” “The whole exchanged emphasized the importance of learning another language” “It’s not the same speaking in a French class as it is making conversation in person. It was a lot harder than I thought” it’s about making lasting FRIENDSHIPS! “I made lots of friends in France” “I now have a French family” “The exchange gave me an insight into other lives which are different to my own” “I have all-round confidence from meeting new people” “I met a French girl who was to become my best friend” “I have had to learn to be more tolerant and thoughtful to somebody else” “I have made a friend for a very long time” SOME PARENTS HAVE HAD THIS TO SAY... “It equipped our son with a better understanding of French” “It gave my daughter a real confidence boost and an insight into lives which are different to our own” “A wonderful experience to enjoy entertaining our French visitor and being able to teach her the differences between French and English culture” “A natural and great way for both children to improve their language” “We exchanged cooking recipes. She was delightful company” “It taught our daughter about consideration” “Great watching our son look after his French friend so well. We all enjoyed his stay” “Our French girl’s mum and I have been emailing away as well...I didn’t expect this to become a mother AND daughter exchange. So, thank you twice” “... they were perfectly matched” “I couldn’t have wished for anyone more perfect for my daughter” |
