I'm having a great time on my exchange program in France. It's even better than I thought it would be. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be nervous. My host family is really nice. They go out of their way to make me feel at home. And my French improved very quickly. But my biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table.
