bit of a long shot i know!

Are there by chance any bi-lingual people on here who are in or near the St Yrieix La Perche region with teenagers? Err no, I am guessing, but you never know!

Reason, my 17 year old god-son who is german is coming to stay for 10 days or so. His mother feels he is not coping well with French and wants him to have some exposure to the French language.

Well, he isn't going to get it in this household, although I suspect his english will improve leaps and bounds.

My other concern is that he is going to be bored stupid with no-one of his own age around. He is a big lad and willing to help out at all if any help is required. Obviously even though he is 17 we wouldn't just drive him to a stranger's house and dump him there for a day !

As I said, a long shot, but please do pm me if anyone has a bored around 17 year-old French speaker on their hands who might like to have a friend for a short while.

I should hope not, he's 17 so make him walk.

actually I would probably make him cycle !

You know what I meant - well maybe not, but I know what I meant! I wouldn't just let him go anywhere without checking out that the people weren't slave traders or worse !!
