France is going very well at the moment and I am enjoying my stay here. So far I've been very busy trying to learn the language and improving my French. Life with my host family is going really well - I now think of all of them as family and not as just friends or strangers. Cyril and I have been up to a few things including playing a bit guitar and watching a few films every now and then.

Belgium is fabulous and time is going by too quick! My family is really nice and accommodating and so is my school. My school friends find it funny when I talk because I muck up the pronunciation, but I'm getting there with the language. I even started talking to my mum in French one time when she called.
~ Jess during her exchange program to Boussu, Belgium
I’m getting used to the cold and the long school days aren’t so bad either. I can now understand pretty much everything and my speaking is coming along. I can make myself understood, and I’m learning how to say new things all the time!
I’m having a really great time, and I starting to feel really at ease with my school-mates and family – I felt comfortable before… but now I feel as if I’m really ‘part of everything’!

Your exchange program with WEP Australia is a unique way to learn French while you live with a family in Belgium. There is no language prerequisite for this program and the quality of the French language in Belgium is comparable to France. Belgium is famous for mediæval cities, gothic cathedrals, castles, diamonds, waffles, chocolates, and frites (fries). It is a compact country nestled between Germany, France, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and the North Sea. Click here to find out more!
All long-term programs to Belgium include an orientation weekend in Brussels as well as a weekend away to Paris in May and a weekend in another major European city in October.
