Language learning (French), I can teach English
Description
I'm Will, I'm from London and lived in Birmingham for 4 years as a student. I'm currently taking a year to travel after finishing university. I studied French until I was 17, so I'd love to spend some of my time this year improving my French language skills beyond the intermediate level I'm currently at. Would be more than happy to find a language buddy or exchange work for language practice/immersion. I studied engineering and have experience working as a handyman/gardener to make money while at university, so this may be of use.
Otherwise about me, I'm fun, quite extroverted, love to meet new people and love music. I love a good adventure and am not afraid to take risks. I'm hoping I can find someone/somewhere I can improve my French skills with, and enjoy all the experiences that come with it!Centres d’intérêt

I'd really like to improve my French skills, and am flexible with how - either with a language buddy or by exchanging work for language practice. Of course in any case I'm happy to exchange English practice for French practice/immersion.Compétences et connaissances que j'aimerais partager ou apprendre

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I'm a civil engineer, so have good appreciation for theory behind construction, but equally have always enjoyed being involved with DIY projects. I have worked as a labourer/handyman self-employed as summer work before, having plenty of experience in working for and alongside customers in many areas from vegetation clearance to basic construction to house removals. I am physically able and more than happy doing physical work, and I typically pick up new skills quickly and am very keen to learn as much as I can - I'm not afraid to challenge myself and try something new!
As much as I can put these skills to work, my main aim at the moment is to improve my French language skills and so am looking for opportunities where I can be in French language immersion.Âge

I had the most incredible stay here. What a lovely family.

It is so difficult to put some workaway experiences in a nutshell, because they are much more than a " work away". This one was one of these. So, I will just write a brief feedback, with some "personnal" messages, just to paint an impressionistic picture of the month we spent with William.
