Hi, just came across this forum and was hoping for some basic advice on what I can do to integrate a little better in France, here's a little background info on myself,
Soo, I moved to france exactly a year ago now to be with my boyfriend. At the start I was very optimistic and motivated to learn french and at this stage my understanding of French is much better but I still can barely speak the language but can form basic sentences ( u may ask why when I have a french boyfriend to teach me, he's not patient with me and we simply slip back into english because it's easier).
I don't have a job in France and currently rely on my boyfriend which he doesn't mind but it's drives me crazy being dependent. I don't know if I should be registering somewhere as unemployed so I can get help finding work, (my boyfriend says he doesn't know, he found his job with L'oreal after he graduated and doesn't know about help for job seekers).
Currently I'm studying an online french course which is helping but very frustrating at times because I'm learning alone most of the time. As it may sound I am losing hope about staying in France and I'm at a cross road at the moment, deciding whether I should leave to go back home, and as a last hope I came to ask if any of you guys have practical advice for life in France and really any info would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
