    We live in the South of France, are German. I myself do not speak French and would appreciate lessons in French.

    Wir leben in Südfrankreich, sind selbst Deutsche. Ich selbst spreche nicht gut französisch und würde mich über Lektionen in französischer Sprache freuen.

    Nous vivons dans le sud de la France, nous sommes d'origine allemande. Je ne parle pas bien le français et j'apprécierais les cours de français.

    We need help in house and garden. At the moment we are planning painting in the house and wie need help for creating a permaculture garden. We love to create something new from existing things. I am also interested in a concrete art project.

    Auf einem 2 Hektar großen Grundstück bedarf es viel Hilfe im Haus und Garten. Momentan möchten wir Malerarbeiten im Haus durchführen und es gibt Arbeiten im Garten (das Ziel ist ein Permakultur-Garten) und im Wald.
    Wir mögen es, aus vorhandenen Dingen etwas Neues zu kreieren.
    Auch möchte ich mich an einigen Kunst-Betonarbeiten versuchen.
