I'm afraid to not be able to handle it this time as well but I have to do it for my husband, we have our family now, I hope that will make things easier... | We would be living in Gerardmer, south of Strasbourg and Nancy. It's actually a small village near there but Geradmer is the nearest town. The problem is I speak very little French and find learning languages difficult and it's such a small, icolated place that there's just about nobody who speaks English either.  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I understand Anita. When Andrew and I moved to France (in 2001) Andrew didn't speak a word of french (he took German and Russian at school  ), it's been hard for him as nobody around us spoke english (even my english was awful  ), and know he is fluent !!! When you are in the country you pick up quick and with a kid it should help even more  |

Luckily for me my partner is fluent in English but he isn't very understanding about how hard I find it to learn French. He thinks it should be easy and I'm just being lazy. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Salut! Je suis Anglaise mais j'habite en Alsace, pres du Bale dans la Suisse.
I know my written French is much worse than your English!! I learnt when I was an Aupair and didn't take classes, I really should. Anyway, we're moving to the UK for 1 year and then maybe back to France, or Spain, not sure!
Alors, bienvenue a BnB et bon chance
