France

 After finishing my time in Spain, I had to find somewhere to go in France. I originally decided to be an aupair but after speaking to some families I realised that I probably wouldn't get to speak as much French as I'd have wanted. I wanted somewhere I could practice my other language after speaking a lot of English while in Spain so I decided to study and found a school called LSF in Montpellier for 5 weeks. I also wanted to do something where I don't have any responsibility over anyone else after teaching. This first week has gone relatively fast and although I do like my classes, I'm hoping the next 4 weeks fly by. 

I have 3 and a half hours of classes every morning and free afternoons. The classes are great as they are entirely in French and the teachers don't speak much English so we have to talk and explain ourselves completely in French. It's very strange to be hearing French after such a long time where I neglected the language, but I'm surprised how quickly it comes back. Although there are 2 Spaniards in my class who flip between the 2 languages which sometimes hurts my head. 

I'm also living with a woman in a host family which is taking a bit of getting used to as it is very different from sharing a flat with people my age. 

So far I've found Montpellier extremely hot but it's a nice city with really interesting buildings and a lot of green spaces. I'm here for 4 more weeks so I'm hoping to explore some of the nearby areas and hoping I quickly get used to the heat.
