Description
We'd like to experience cultural exchanges with a fluent english speaker in a lovely house with a garden near the forest in Mareil-Marly, France
Hi! We're a franco-italian family with two teenagers (15 and 17) living in a nice ancient house with a garden nearby the forest and 40 mn from Paris (tram+train). We had the chance to share our family life with great au pairs when the boys were younger and now we'd like to continue some cultural exchanges with a proficient (native or C2 level) english (or spanish) speaker.

Help
We'd like to speak english while sharing with you our evening family meals, that you could prepare as both parents work in Paris and return late at home. If you like science, you could ideally teach some maths/physics/chemistry to the boys after school and/or during the week-end. If you play the piano or the guitar, you could form a band with the boys! If you like painting, drawing, sculpting, you could share your art and inspiration with the whole family. If you like gardening, the gardern is yours. And if you like sport, you can run, bike, exercise with the boys.
Languages
Languages spoken
French: Fluent
Italian: Fluent
English: Intermediate
Spanish: IntermediateThis host offers a language exchange
We speak French and Italian at home and we'd like to add English with you on a daily basis, mostly for our teens to be fluent.
Accommodation
We offer a private room (with a sink) and a shared (with the boys) batheroom in our house.
What else ...
From our village you can take a tram (15mn) and then a local train (25 mn) and you're in Paris, where you can go everyday if you want. But if you prefer nature, the forest is just behind the house.
Our boys are at school from Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm (Wednesday they come back for lunch). Both parents work in Paris and sometimes at home.
We like our house (and in particular the kitchen) to be kept clean and in order. We have two kind cats.

We warmly recommend the talented Jessica for her next workawayer experience in France, to perfect her French (which is already impressive).

Everything was perfect, as we would expect from a Workawayer. He helped us all to improve our English, teached our teens piano and guitar, played with them inside and outside, and even cooked a memorable Irish breakfast! As soon as he arrived the house… read more
We really hit it off straight away and I felt right at home from the beginning. Angelo, Valérie and the two boys are a very caring, open, welcoming and warm family. They welcomed me like a member of… read more
