=__Au Pair__ or "Nannying" is another option. Popular in France it is a way to "study abroad" with a family while making extra money and is a popular thing to do in the summer. Also, learning language with children is fun and enjoyable and it's often easier to "get comfortable" and make mistakes without feeling self-conscious.=

=﻿__Host an exchange student__ if you cannot go abroad yourself. This is a fabulous experience for yourself as well as your family and friends. Make a pact with them to only speak French to each other, or on certain days if you do not have siblings with which they can also learn English. Host for a year, semester, or summer as well.=
