Thanks for the feedback. We are both broad shouldered and can cope with positive and negative response, even if some replies are critical! Our daughter is receiving intensive french tuition from an approved french national in the hope that this will assist. We know that despite tuition it will still be difficult and so we are also considering the international school in Toulouse. Before anyone responds we are not wealthy but we are committed. to ensuring she is happy and content. Prehaps our opening remarks gave the impression our daughter was desperately unhappy about our plans, this is not the case. We also take on board remarks about international schools. We would particularly welcome feedback from anyone with experience of this international school or french schools in the Gallic area. Neil/kay

We are new to this forum, but would welcome advice or comments from anyone in or who has been in a  similar position regarding the above. We are re-locating to the Tarn region of the Midi Pyrenees late 2005 - early 2006. We have a daughter who will be 14+ when we take the plunge. She is reluctant, for various reasons,  (leaving friends behind, finding new friends, how  will effect her education and coping with a new language all at the same time.) We have read most of the articles on this topic. I suppose we are looking for some re-assurrance.
