There's an exchange student in one of my classes at my school (In America, yes) and everyone is super nice to her, if knowing that helps ease any fears

@@Lenasophie.08 how do you that you are leaving in July? You already started process of applying on program? Just curious cause I am leaving in 2024 too (¿probably August?)
Das Video hat mich sehr an meine Zeit in Montana erinnert, damals (siebziger Jahre) noch ohne Handy und telefonieren war viel zu teuer. Aber inhaltlich gebe ich Dir in allen Punkten recht. Und ich finde, man hört auch an der Art und Weise, wie Du erzählst, dass Dir die Zeit viel gebracht hat.
I’m literally going in a week and I’m absolutely questioning my life decisions. I’ll go to France, hence I’m kind of afraid of language barriers especially because I already have problems with conversations in my language 🙃
my nana went to the netherlands once when she was 17 and she still speaks french, dutch, and finnish to this day despite not knowing any of it before she went. as long as you want to learn it you'll pick up on it easier than you think.
Thank you so much I was so scared to be with a host family and being alone I’m going next year that means on 2025 so I’m Kind of scared but when I told my sister and Friends they didn’t understand why but you really get it I’m really thankful 💋💋💗💗💗 And I’m also scared because there’s grades difference between USA and Saudi Arabia that means when I’m going to USA they will be in the 11th grade but I will be in 10th grade that means I’m going to be younger than my classmates
@@julianacasarin7759 Me I've been doing pretty well!!! My host family is amazing, I'm making a few friends at school and I'm slowly but surely beginning to understand
I get that but it’s still a great learning experience no matter where you go. It might help to make a list for things you think are great about each country so you’re excited for each one. Idk if that helps. What country are these?
I'm applying to rotary this year as well, and Im mostly nervous for how competitive it is😅 I wish you all luck! If it eases your mind at all, most districts will let you pick you top three/five countries and ask you if there are any that you just don't want to go to. Also if you want to know what countries your district exchanges with in advanced, you should TOTALLY email your district chairman. That's what I did, and he was sooo helpful👍
I’m leaving in august but I don’t have a placement yet and I know that it’s still kinda early but I’m nervous that I might not get one :/ love ur videos by the way
I get that but most people don’t get their placement until like june or even later than that. I got mine may 11th so you have time left. But I get why you‘re nervous. Just don’t try to think about it too much:) also thanks i‘m glad you like my videos!🫶🏼
How many times a week did you call/ text your family and friends back? I tried to keep in touch by sending them photos and short messages but idk why I struggle with phone calls. I find it a bit overwhelming. Thx for ur video!
im applying to go abroad for a year over 23 and 24 but i'm nervous about how to pick where i should go? i have plenty options for the us but i'm mostly keen on australia and canada. how did you know where to pick? im confident in doing a full year rather than half but im worried ill struggle to settle in
I’ve always known that I wanted to go to the US but honestly, you should just trust your gut feeling on where to go. Maybe try to make a pro and contra list about every country.. I’m positive that you’ll have a great year, even if something doesn’t work out like you want it to, you’ll definitely learn and grow so much from it.
I really want to do an exchange year and I might sound dumb asking this but do you have to go somewheres that speaks a diffrent language. Like in my home country I speak English can I go to a different country like that speaks English or do I have to go somewhere that speaks a diffrent language?
Hi Chenoa ! Thanks for the video it defenetly helped me ! Quick question ! I'm French and have a plan to go on an exchange year to an English country during a year of high school. When I come back, will I have to repeat a year or not? Merci beaucoup !!
Thank you I really appreciate it. It depends on your school, so you should definitely talk to them. I for example had to repeat a year but there are some schools that allow you to skip a year. Hope I was able to help.
At my school it was a class that went the whole year because you’ll be taking pictures and working on the book the whole year as it get’s distributed at the end of the school year. But I think it depends on the school.
how was you year? I hope it was good, My dream is that one day i could be an Exchange student, im 13, And I really admire the people who did it. (and im sorry if my english is bad)
no sadly with the visa (J1) you are not able to work because you are going for school. If you want to work there for example as an aupair you would get another visa.
I really want to do (and have parents supportive of) an exchange program in Japan or the USA, and this helped so much to make me feel less lost and anxious. Im feeling more sure about what i want to do. Thank you🫶

how was the time did you find good clothes and how did you pay for everything

I really want to do an exchange year and I might sound dumb asking this but do you have to go somewheres that speaks a diffrent language. Like in my home country I speak English can I go to a different country like that speaks English or do I have to go somewhere that speaks a diffrent language?
I don’t think you have to! Because you can still learn a lot in other aspects. Where are you thinking of going?:)

I’m just asking because you’re school looks amazing what you school? And where is it and how did you signed in it?
Hi! When is yearbook season? Is it all year or just one semester? Not really a sports person haha
At my school it was a class that went the whole year because you’ll be taking pictures and working on the book the whole year as it get’s distributed at the end of the school year. But I think it depends on the school.
Omg u are the first person I ever saw that has the same name as me
leaving in a week :( thank u
Leaving the 30th of august. I am so scared
why did you have to change your host family?
One thing I'm worried about is not to loose luggage at airport 😅
I’m going to Indiana in August 2024 good luck everyone !!!!
Good luck! I'm a 5x host dad in Texas with work connections in Indiana. Reach out if you need support.
how was you year? I hope it was good, My dream is that one day i could be an Exchange student, im 13, And I really admire the people who did it. (and im sorry if my english is bad)
How to have exchange year ???
How did u find your host famiy?
my organization did
❤
you need to buy the visa or the flex program buy it?
Your local program will help you apply for the proper visa. Cost varies by country.
how old where you when you did a exchange year?
I was 16 when I left
I'm too broke to be one, but nonetheless Ima watch.
did you work in America for extra money??
no sadly with the visa (J1) you are not able to work because you are going for school. If you want to work there for example as an aupair you would get another visa.
You can do little gigs like washing cars or cut lawns for money
我也准备交换了，有点紧张
Cara-lágrimas-rosa:
i‘m leaving in one week so thank you🫶🏻
I really want to do (and have parents supportive of) an exchange program in Japan or the USA, and this helped so much to make me feel less lost and anxious. Im feeling more sure about what i want to do. Thank you🫶
