Should the government be allowed to choose what our children eat? What about in religious circumstances seeing as French society is secular? I know that schools in the UK have started giving parents…Continue

This is ME!
Having finished uni last year, I knew that I didn't want to stay in the UK for long and a random job search one grey and drizzly afternoon led me to getting a job in Disneyland Paris. It is far from my dream job but it allowed me to move to France with a job and accommodation guaranteed - very important when moving to another country. It also allowed me to meet le petit copain and so I am very lucky and grateful for that. However, I now feel that it is time to move on career wise although I am not sure what the next step is. Eventually I want to teach English but not just yet. Ideally for now, I am looking for experience in the tourism industry. This was what I was hoping for from my job at Disney but unfortunately I found myself placed in merchandise.This is not the first time I have worked in France but hopefully it is the last time that I have to make the move and can finally find somewhere more permanent to settle down in (well for the time being anyway =P)

Help desperately need for NOWZAD Charity
Hey guys,Just a little back story - NOWZAD is a charity started by an ex-marine when he fell in love with a stray dog in Afghanistan. It's been going a few years and helps soldiers rescue the dogs and cats that stop them going insane while on deployment. These pets are so very important to our brave soldiers. Even stories of them saving their lives.But now NOWZAD is in big trouble. I'll let the founder Pen Farthing explain things in his own words:Afghanistan is a country of equal hope and…See More

This is a group for any animal who needs to find a new home; those in danger of being put to sleep or animals up for adoption, from either registered charities, or individuals.
Katrina King replied to Mark Rimmer's discussion What makes some ex-pats so arrogant?"Honestly, after spending two weeks driving (or rather being driven) around the Arab Emirates, French drivers are a welcome reprise. One difference that shocked me though is that no matter how terrible someone drives, no one gets road rage because…"

Thanks for the advice. I know 2 hours is long and I was quite hesitant at first but this was at his insistence. I'm hoping that because he is an adult, he will be able to concentrate better than kids!

I agree with Elaine, my first lesson with any student is an assessment otherwise you would have absolutely no idea what to plan for and how long each activity might take.

Help with private lessons please!
Hey everyone,I'm looking for some advice please - I have just picked up a new student (my first here in France) and I have my first lesson with him on Saturday. It's going to be 2 hours long (at his request) so I need some ideas to try and fill the time. I really don't want there to be any awkward pauses. The problem I'm finding is that he is an older businessman and not the usual young students I'm used to that I can just play games with or talk about celebrities.Any advice will be greatly…See More
