Unfortunately, French is not a very common language throughout the world, unlike English which is understood and spoken in many foreign countries. Thus, mastering English, at least sufficiently to understand the basics and to be understood according to one's needs, is essential when traveling in the many countries where French is of no help. Of course, the best solution is to learn the language of Shakespeare in order to make your travels more comfortable. Now you just have to do it!

Choose an immersion program to perfect your learning
To make the most of your training and prepare for increasingly natural stays in English, a few destinations can make your task easier. Here are some trendy destinations where you can shine in English! Canada comes to mind for the possibility of being understood in French as well. But this is not the best formula because to progress and practice, you have to jump into the deep end. Therefore, prefer purely English-speaking destinations
Speak English in the text
For example, the United States is preferable to Canada. In addition, Americans love your English with a French accent! New Zealand is also a popular destination where you can combine English practice with a change of scenery. Less expensive and closer to home, in Europe, there is Ireland, Scotland or the island of Malta, three destinations that attract many students. There you will meet young people who are in training and who enjoy interacting with foreigners. For the purest English, there is also London, but your budget will have to be up to it, because cheap accommodation in the English capital is not easy.
Bristol, the good plan
An emerging and dynamic cultural center, Bristol has the advantage of being not too far from London, and therefore from Paris and France. In this student city, you will enjoy a trendy cultural life and a very nice immersion in the local life with the benefit of numerous discounts for students for shows, accommodation and even menus in some restaurants.
