Girl like I would have paid 5 dollars to watch this video. Every word you say is clearing up so much confusion I have had and is making me feel so relieved! I have not found a lot of videos about how as an *american* it is possible to do a *masters* in France. Go you. Hopefully going to follow in your footsteps. You rock. -Greeting from another American trying to do their masters in France.

Hello Beautiful Queen! You are soo intelligent. I'm not surprised at all you were accepted at the university and your employer hired you. You are an asset to any university, employer, and everything else. I'm looking forward to moving to France and your videos are helping me a lot. Thank you for taking out your time to produce these videos for us as I already know studying for a Masters while working is a lot. So thank you. Blessings, from Virginia

Thank you for your tips. One question: in other videos ("moving to France without speaking French") you said, that you hadn't learned the language before arrival, so how you talked during the interview with the university and how you could study without French language? Thank you for your answer, language is a huge barrier for me, I'm only A1-A2 level in French :(

Yes, please! Make a detailed video on study/work program! thank you for information, didn't know you can study for free in France. Can you tell how much they pay you to work for company? Are these money enough to live in Nice? Or you need to add your own

[@WhereTianaTravels]

Yes, definitely will! As far as pay, it depends on your age. Since I'm above 25 I'm on the highest end of the pay spectrum. It's enough to live off of forsure but I still would recommend having an extra income source if you like to travel often or go out with friends!

[@yannip2083]

Great inspiration, Tiana! Where did you study French language?

[@WhereTianaTravels]

I've actually never taken formal French classes or studied French really! Most of it I learned while I was living with a French family for a year as an aupair. The rest I've just taught myself from watching movies/TV or just from living in France and hearing it daily :)

[@swammiastroglyde]

Hello T, please make a video of how one can find an alternance. I got into a graduate program, but my student loan issues are keeping me from attending. I think I can figure this out with your help. Thanks!!!!

[@katiemark97]

Hi tiana, how did you become fluent in French ? I would like to study in France but my french is not quite good to be able to follow lectures

[@WhereTianaTravels]

Hey! When I first moved to France I was an au pair (basically a live in nanny), so I lived with a French family for one year. That’s how I learned the basics of French just by being surrounded by the language and hearing it everyday. After that I started watching movies/series & listening to podcasts in French, that’s helped me a lot as well! I wrote a post about some of my favorite ways to learn French on my blog if you wanna check it out 🙂 wheretianatravels.com/is-french-hard-to-learn/

Hi! I really love your video. I'm currently finishing up a bachelor's degree this year in the States and was wondering if I missed my opportunity to study abroad. I'm 21 and am soon going for work experience, but after a couple years of it I am going to be considering a master's too. I really want to get a master's degree in France. I also see it as a way to move to France. Is there an age limit for masters? I'm assuming no but somebody brought it up once and I'm curious. Also, what school did your friend go too? does this apply to other private schools in France? it sounds like a really great program. Thank you so much for making this video ! ((:

[@unpeudevin3837]

Thanks for the video! Were required to know french when you were applying to alternance?

[@WhereTianaTravels]

I wasn't, but they were looking for a native English speaker for the position. Most places will want you to have at least an understanding of French

[@nilsa6595]

Hi Tiana, thank you for sharing your insight on this! I'm wondering if non-European students that are going to France for the first time are eligible to apply for an apprenticeship/professionalization alteration course on the get-go.

[@WhereTianaTravels]

Hi Nilsa! Unfortunately after posting this I learned that you have to be living in France for one year before you're eligible for the alternance program. So I would recommend coming here as an aupair, on a tourist visa, or another visa type for one year and then doing the alternance after 🙂

EXCELLENT video! Hi Tiana, Can you recommend a French University for me to do my French Language course for FREE of tuition fees? Thank you so much.

[@WhereTianaTravels]

Thank you! To be honest most French language courses here are extremely expensive, and i don’t know of any that are 100% free, but your best bet is to look for a language course offered by the Mayor or the ‘Mairie” of your city - these courses are significantly cheaper (around €250-300 for 60 hours of lessons) but since they’re so cheap the spots fill up quickly so you have to sign up as soon as they open ! I’m not sure if you’re living in Paris but here’s a link to the language classes offered by the Mairie de Paris : cma.paris.fr/uploads/Les%20nouvelles%20formations%2021-22.pdf Hope that helps! x

[@jennifergersch9126]

For the altenance, a lot of my interests are French museums, which I'm assuming are all nationalized government institutions. Would this make a dfference if they're not a private company?

Heloo Tiana please with the french proficiency how is it like? Do you need to take a special exam like the IELTS or it will be an online test....kindly explain further

Hello again, the part that I couldn't understand is, do we have to find a private school and register for it first and then check the job post specified as alternance? Because, the job posts posted as alternance/appreniceship don't explicitly offer paying tuition or they require candidates to be already registered in a master program. Didn't really understand this :/

[@WhereTianaTravels]

Yes, you find the school and apply for it first and then once you get accepted you will search for an alternance job (the same way you would look for a regular job). If it is listed as an alternance than yes, paying tuition is included - even if they don't list it on the posting. Hope that helps!

Hi! I'm not sure what the dap procedure is, but switching to a student visa from an aupair visa was pretty easy (take that with a grain of salt though because I still haven't received my new visa yet and I applied in August). It's the only type of visa you can switch to from an aupair visa while staying in France. For the other visa types, you'd have to go back to your home country first and then reapply.
