Is France a very expensive country for a student?
I'm supposed to go to either of France, Netherlands or Spain for my 6 week internship. I cant figure out where to go. I should be considering the december january weather too into concern along with the living cost. Is France really that expensive, or is it just Paris?

L'endroit l'endroit l'endroit: it all depends on the location I currently live in france and have been living here for quite some time; if your from the states and you like to cook you will fall in love with the prices of vegatables (a pack of stop light peppers (huge) for a euro) meat is more expensive (originally from VA) alcohol in bar more expensive (average pint is 5euros= 7 30ish dollars) alcohol outside a bar fairly equal or cheaper rent is fairly equal but ive been to all three but have only live in france as a student and as a teacher will you be using language for your internship, if so choose france or spain, if not Netherlands is an amazing country (more expensive) spain is the cheapest, and France has the most culture...if you come to france, learn the basics of the language, with the youth they will love you anyways, certain from the older generations may not be as welcoming however. in the other two you will feel very welcomed most of the time Good luck!

Have you learned any French or Spanish? I think that is worth considering. You can survive six weeks of winter in any of those countries, but Spain will have the best winter weather I'm guessing. If you are paying your own expenses, then Spain is good due to lower costs.

Japanese language schools in the Netherlands that use English as a basis?


Japanese language schools in the Netherlands that use English as a basis?
Hey! I'm looking for language schools that teach Japanese in the Netherlands, but not specifically for Dutch students and more for an international crowd (i.e. the course being based on English and not Dutch). Do you have any suggestions? The closer to Utrecht, the better, but I'll go with anything. Cheers!

this web site has a good number of leads https://www.werk.nl/portal/page/portal/werk_nl/werknemer/working_in_the_netherlands_wn/inenglish and is written/maintained by an government-affiliated organization There are also lots of foreign (English-speaking) students, who don't speak Dutch, working in bars etc, mainly in the cities that have a university.

www.elynx.nl (go into notices - employment offered) http://www.expatica.com/nl/employment.html http://www.amsterdamweekly.nl/content/view/76/146/ http://www.undutchables.nl/ Depending on what type of work you are looking for you can find international companies that have offices in Amsterdam and apply direct. Hotels and Irish pubs are also mainly English speaking environments and a good place to start while you are learning Dutch. 5 years ago not speaking Dutch wasn't really such a problem but in teh last few years more and more places are asking that you have at least a basic understanding of Dutch to be employed.

Well only if you possess a EU nationality or a residence permit that allows you to work in The Netherlands or a working visa for the Netherlands is how you could apply to jobs... other than that the most of the people speak english here and in the EU countries, and people of the UK can perfectly do the job if natives are needed... So let know if you possess any of the above (residence permit, or EU member) to actually recommend you sites, other than you cannot just apply...
