Do you have an experience with having an exchange student?

My Aunt on my Dad's side took in an exchange kid every year for years. It was a little different but all in all it worked out...she had 9 kids of her own so after awhile they all just blended together. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

hi there well i dont have any experince in students exchange but iam sure u will learn so much from that experince good luck

It's a wonderful experience... When my children were in jr high school we had a Japanese student come and live with us for a short time...it was beyond words...we loved him and he loved us...the language barrier was tough yet taught us all alot...Food was the biggest change for him...but we tried to incorporate japanese food...we had many nights of laughter about my japanese cooking skills!!! We saw our city, state and schools in a new light..through the eyes of a newcomer...what a joy!!! I would do it again in a heartbeat!! Enjoy!!!

I've made an exchange with a girl in Paris and it was a pleasant experience even if it lasted only 3 weeks. My class went to Paris in December and they came here in Italy in March. Everyone lived in a different family. I think it would be a pleasant experience for your children, advice them to integrate the girl with their friends and talk to her only in english and not in german, she has to learn . One of your daughters will go to Germany then? If the answer is yes I advice her not to be nervous or try to impress german people, just try to be herself

We had an exchange student from Switzerland my Sr. year of high school. She was also a Sr., and also my only experience having a sister. It was (and still is) an awesome experience! At the time, we had our ups and downs, but looking back on it was such a unique experience! Her family has come here to visit many times, and everyone in my family has been to visit her's in Switzerand every now and then. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding, and I went over for hers. She comes to visit our family about once a year (for the past 10 years!) I also know that I'm welcome at their house at any time. It's an experience that truely changed our lives, and I hope it's as beneficial for your family as it was for ours.

Wow!Sounds good!But,also,there would be some problems.After all you don't live in the same culture,there are many differences between the cultures.So you both should try to understand each other.Ah,by the way don't worry about that ,although there are some problems it will be OK!lol what'more,do u like cooking and have you experienced Chinese food?I like it not only because its good tast but also the interest I got when cook it! Have a fine day!

That sounds like a fun family experience! I have never actually hosted a student, but I knew an exchange student from Germany back in high school. One time I was giving her a ride home and I got pulled over (supposedly I had not made a complete stop at the previous intersection - he let me off with a verbal warning). But she freaked out when the policeman turned on his lights to pull me over. I'm not quite sure why she reacted the way she did (I'm pretty sure she was from the liberated part of Germany at that time) but I had to calm her down as I pulled over and waited for him to approach. I also had a friend who went as a foreign exchange student to Australia for a whole year. When she came back she totally had the Aussie accent and dialect. It was cool. Plus she got away with driving over there since they do their month/day reversed.
