Learning a language seems to go a bit easier if you've already learned another one, so you should manage to pick up French. However, in my experience, when you first get here, you'll feel like you didn't learn a thing for a while. It's part of the "experience" I guess.

Are you planning on retiring to the area? Or will you be working - either for someone else or for yourselves?
Cheers,

Cheers everybody, I am retired but my husband is not. When we come over as we have lived in Asia for 6yrs life will be so different in every way including our diet life without chillis will come as a nice change. We both like a quite kind of life and love the countryside. The teachers here are natives of France so that will help a bit i think. Can i ask does anybody know if it is possible to buy Thai nick-nacks and food ,or do we have to bring it with the shipment as i am sure we will have food cravings from time to time ?And as my husband is a chef he would like to do some Asian food in a small way, if an outlet came along in time to come.So now we will look forward to making friends on the Forum Cheers Folks Di
