Pardon My French (S.A.S.S.)

Not for me I already speak

My daughter has loved this book!

This whole series is a lot of fun whether you have traveled or not. The various authors include information that teaches while smoothly interspersed with the stories. The young people who go on these travels have a variety of reasons for wanting to get away from home such as an annoying sister or a divorced situation or wanting to explore or pursue a budding career path. I am always sad when the students' three months are up! Learning while immersed in a culture is the way to go!

I've read all of the books in this series, and my conclusion is that this is the worst. The emails that are prevalent in the book make the girl seem 11 or 12, not 17 like she is supposed to be. I never liked the character and I thought that the author didn't do a good job of conveying French culture as much as she could have. I far prefer the other books in this series over this one. This book might be better for 11 or 12-year-old girls but not older teens. The book wasn't terrible, but it wasn't that much fun to read.

I loved this book. It's a quick read. Learn a little french while you read, you gotta love that. The author does a great job of describing the characters and the places, you feel as if you are there. A story about a teen girl going to another country as an exchange student and the lessons she learns as she grows up. Would be great for any pre-teen. Highly recommended.

If you are the type of person who loves to travel, this book is for you. Although this novel can be taken to merely discuss Nicole's journey to France, her emotional journey is also an important one, and rightfully shows the struggles of today's exchange students - along with the romance they meet along the way! In France, she is forced to experience new, unknown French ways instead of being a sheltered teenager. For example, she must learn to navigate around the French metro. On a romantic level, this novel was a bit cliche for me. She falls in love with a French guy - why does this always happen in every exchange novel/movie?!?! The romance did add a little fun to the book, however, so I would recommend this book as a great read, especially if you like to be exposed to different cultures. There are also other books in the S.A.S.S. series, so after you read this one, go for them!!

Nicole's (the main character)parents really want her to go to Paris but, Nicole really does not want to. Nicole cannot speak or read French at all and she is very happy with how her life is. She wants to spend the rest of her life with her boyfriend Nate. Nicole gets sent to Paris but, is staying with an American family. Nicole meets some friends at school and a boy named Luc. When Nicole gets to Paris, she is not very happy at all. She wants to be home with Nate and her friends. As Nicole is in Paris, she starts to think more about things and ask more questions. She begins to realize new things about her life back home. At the end of the book, she is very happy that her parents sent her there. This book is really good! I read it in 1 day because I couldn't stop reading it!

I really enjoyed this enstallment in the S.A.S.S. series.Nicole is aboslutely against going to France to study abroad. She has friends, a great boyfriend, and American stuff to do. And to top it all off, the family she stays with is a little on the crazy side. And their 'babysitter', Luc, is annoyingly adorable. Nicole just wants to be back at home. But when she finally relaxes a little and learns to enjoy herself while studying in France, Nicole finds that her stay was a life-changing experience.I didn't flip the pages furiously or read this one in a day, but it was a cute little book that I enjoyed reading. A good read if you too wish to study abroad and find love along the way. :)

This book is really for young adults (or teenagers as we used to say). I was curious about the formula, as it is part of a series. Obviously written from an american point of view but quite accessible for other English readers. The rapid advances in smart phone technology means some of the features of the book may seem quite old fashioned to a young reader.
