It is quite good though not perfect. The rent cost per month should be decreased and the rent cost per month should be including electricity cost.

It is okay since I adapt so quickly but as you know French are not really helping us with their language. we want to learn but they did not want to give us chance. They should try to help us learning French.

Au début j'avais des difficultés car je n'avais que quelques notions, mais grâce à la communication avec les gens et le cursus que j'ai suivi en école de commerce, j'ai réussi à obtenir un bon niveau de français.
