Foreign exchange student is going to be staying at my house?
Foreign exchange student is going to be staying at my house?
In a few weeks, a foreign exchange student from Germany is going to be staying at my house. She is 2 years older than I am (I'm going to be a freshman, and she's going to be a junior, I think). My dad wants me to write her an email. What should I say to her? What kinds of things would she want to know about?

Just tell her a little about your life and your friends and what school is going to be like and stuff like that. Tell her what the weather is like year round so she has appropriate clothes and tell her about the stuff people do where you are from. If she has any other questions, that will definately open her up.

Think about how you would feel if the situation were reversed. If you were going to her house, what would you want to know? Just introduce yourself and tell her you are looking forward to her coming and ask her if there is anything she needed to know ahead of time. She may have some questions that she's not sure who to ask and she may be really glad that you reached out to her. When I was in high school I had a couple of friends who were foreign exchange students. They were really nice and lots of fun.

Tell her about interesting things to do where you live. Tell her about yourself. Most importantly, though, make her feel welcome. Think about... wouldn't it be scary to go to a completely new country, speak a different language and leave your family?
9 :
Intorduce yourself. Ask her her hobbies or what she likes to do. Tell her what its like where you live. Tell her what YOU like to do. tell her about the family pets if any.

Oh, I love foreign exchange! I had a lovely teenager my age from Japan named Suzuke at my house. :D I emailed her before she came over too. Before she arrived, we'd just talk about common interests or what we like to do in our free time so we could have ideas for when she got here. Then, I'd tell each other about things we do over here for fun and she'd tell me what she would do over there, and we'd end up just talking so easily. Just chat about the basics, and soon you will have loads to say and not even know it! <3 Nalah
