Pensioners offer English classes to French students

WITH poor savings interest, a struggling pound and an increasing cost in the price of essentials, older couples are opening their doors to help French people with their English.

That's what the Expatica website is reporting as couples help French students with their studies with brief immersion classes, offering language help and advice.

The article says the courses in western France are the brainchild of Christine Predery, who set up a not-for-profit organisation called Bringing People Together to help French anglophiles get in touch with English families.
