As part of my job in the UK, I have the chance to spend 6 months in France next year - would be from Jan-Jul 2018. I’d be coming with my 3 DC, all primary aged, and it would be a chance for me to improve my French, and DC to learn it for the first time. Looking at a couple of bilingual schools in Toulouse (all private, with mixed reports, but the priority would be for the DC to learn French). DH would stay at home, as his work wouldn’t transfer.
My French is good and I know the area a bit (lived there a long time ago!). My question to those of you who’ve made a move abroad for a short time is: is it worth it for the cultural and linguistic gain, or is it too much practical and emotional upheaval, esp. for the DC, for 6 months?
