Language Skills
|
|
The Au Pair will normally have basic English as a minimum (the standard varies with each person) and a desire to improve their skills and learn the UK culture. |
|
|
English Language schools are available all over the UK. It is normal for the Au Pair to want to enrol on one of these courses, not only for the English, but to meet like minded Au Pairs. The Family will normally help to locate these classes. We can supply relevant information if required. |
|
|
The costs of the course are met by the Au pair, but a contribution to it or/and assistance with travel to the college is usually appreciated. |
