I am a freshman in high school and I'm hoping to become a foreign exchange student my junior year.
I was just wondering if it was really hard to get accepted into a foreign exchange program, giving how so many people seem to apply every year. I'm just curious. I know I'll have to go to an interview, but what do they evaluate there?
What happens if you don't get in?What is the chance of not being able to become a foreign exchange student after applying?I was an exchange student in high school and as long as your grades are good (as in your not failing), don't have a criminal record, and generally are a good person interested in learning then it shouldn't be an issue. If you are looking to do a kind of do a kind of diplomat position then the program might be more selective. It really depends on the program and what its requirements are.
I recommend you look up AFS exchange programs. They have several different ones for year long, half-year, and summer. Also ones that focus on language, out-door activities, and volunteer work. Almost all involve a home stay with a host family. If money is an issue, there are scholarship programs you can apply to.
I also recommend talking with your guidance counselor during your sophomore year, especially if you want to be away for a year. If you attend school in another country, you can receive credit but it may put you behind on your english credits. Talking with the counselor will be beneficial in that area.
Do it! It's a valuable experience!

How do i choose where to be a foreign exchange student?
I am planning on being a foreign exchange student my junior year (im a sophmore) and im having trouble deciding where. I'm studying spanish, but i dont necessarily want to go into it. Also, i am irish, and have always wanted to go there.
So should i travel to Ireland, Or Spain?How do i choose where to be a foreign exchange student?Well I live in ireland and love it so I definitely recommend it. However that depends on other things. For example if you do want to learn spanish more thoroughly, Spain is a good idea.How do i choose where to be a foreign exchange student?SPAINHow do i choose where to be a foreign exchange student?If I were you, which I kind of wish I was right now (because I want to study abroad sooooo badly), I'd approach it with colleges in mind, as long as you really can't decide.
If you chose Spain, but picture yourself regretting the choice not to go to Ireland until the minute your plane left, then go to Ireland. You'll have a better experience. But if it's really a toss up between the two, then maybe talk to a counselor at your school and see what colleges might think of one decision over the other, and use that to weigh your options. Or talk to your parents, find the price of the program, and decide which one would be more culturally enhancing or that you would get more out of by looking at the websites and descriptions carefully.
If you intend to study Spanish in college, then go to Ireland now. That way things will be mostly in English, and you can take a semester abroad in college to Spain, when you speak the language much better and can be more independent.
It's a tough choice, either one is great. Thought I'd make some suggestions, though, to help you choose :)

How do you start a conversation with a german exchange student?
There is this really cute German exchange student and i wanna get to know him. I dont want to come off as awkward or anything either. Do you have any ideas at what i should do?How do you start a conversation with a german exchange student?Talk to him in english and start your conversation the way you would with anybody else. Ask him about his hobbys or what sport teams he likes, what music he listens to...Those are basic starters that work in any language and culture and they usually break the ice.How do you start a conversation with a german exchange student?Actually, you might find this strange advice, but just talk to him in English. He's on exchange for that very purpose, probably: to learn English. Don't be afraid to help him out!
The thing is, if you try to learn too much German without knowing the proper pronunciation and grammar, that will sound a whole lot more awkward to him, trust me.
Just to break the ice though, try a little %26quot;Guten Tag%26quot; or %26quot;Hallo! Ich heisse (your name here)!%26quot;
%26quot;Guten Tag%26quot; literally means %26quot;Good day%26quot;, and is used as a general %26quot;Hello%26quot;... you pronounce it like: goo-ten tahg (strong 'g' at the end, almost like a 'k')
Audio: http://192.20.225.55/tts/speech/3dffca6f
(so you can hear how to say it)
%26quot;Hallo! Ich heisse ______%26quot; is %26quot;Hi, my name is ______!%26quot;
Pronounce it like: hah-llo, ikh hai-s'uh ______ (that 'ich' is tricky, listen to the audio closely)

So talk to him in english... after all he is here to learn more about the british (I guess you're british or american) culture and language... ask him basic stuff like How long are you staying? Do you like england/America? What do you think of the subjects?
And after a while you'll have more confidence :)
Good luckHow do you start a conversation with a german exchange student?I'm from Germany and I've been on an exchange program one year ago.
Just talk to him in english, you could start with asking if he likes his exchange and other random stuff.

How would an innovation like credit card affect an economy that operates under a flexible exchange rate?
An economy operates under a flexible exchange rate. The government budget and trade account are currently balanced. Credit cards, a fairly recent innovation in the banking sector, allow consumers to mak epurchases without holding cash. How would this innovation will affect equilibrium GDP, consumption spending, the budget balance and the exchange rate. How would the impact differ under a fixed exchange rate.How would an innovation like credit card affect an economy that operates under a flexible exchange rate?It depends on how the credit cards are used.
When credit cards were first introduced in the U.S. they had little effect - people used them for convenience, rather than a sway to live in debt.
Then the credit card companies ran ad campaigns that convinced people to spend money they didn't have and succeeded in changing consumer behavior. That had a major effect - equivalent to a major influx of money.human body skin Looking for a duvet cover

How may I convince my parents that being an exchange student is a good idea?
How do I convince my parents that being a foreign exchange student is a good idea? That it will have me and it won't be to, to hard? I will need web pages and fact I can follow up on. Personal experiences would be awesome too!How may I convince my parents that being an exchange student is a good idea?First of all, make sure you go to them with the right frame of mind - don't go in thinking %26quot;I need to convince my parents of this%26quot;; go with the attitude of %26quot;I want to provide information so they can make a decision based on facts that are not common knowledge and keeping in mind what's in the best interest of me and the family%26quot;. (I'm not accusing you of anything, just want to make sure you have the right frame of mind - it's hard to tell from a short internet posting.)
Next, gather tons and tons of facts. Contact exchange programs and former exchange students. Your parents will want to know that you have considered ALL of the facts. And one of those facts is that you will have some very difficult days - you will have some days when you will wake up and think %26quot;Man, I am the luckiest SOB on the planet!%26quot; You will have a few days when you'll go to bed thinking %26quot;I can't do this - this is way too hard, I've gotta go home%26quot;. Most days will be in-between those extremes. Remember that everything you have even known in your life (your family, your language, the way in which you eat, how you interact with others) will be tossed out the window when you go on exchange.
Encourage your parents to talk to the parents of other exchange students and to program representatives.
Most importantly, remember that your parents are responsible for you and looking out for your best interest and the best interest of the family. Trust that they are doing so, even if they decide going on exchange is not right for you and the family.

How much does it cost to be a foreign exchange student?
I've been studying German recently and I think it sounds really fun to maybe do a foreign exchange program and live there for a few months. My mum says it's very expensive though, and I can't seem to find an estimate or even something exact on the internet. So I'd like it if someone answered? Thanks.How much does it cost to be a foreign exchange student?If I may, I would like to cast a vote for Youth For Understanding (YFU). I am a 5-time host mom and volunteer with YFU. When I have asked exchange students why they chose YFU, I get the following answers: (1) YFU gave them more bang for their buck and/or (2) someone they knew and trusted recommended YFU. 95% of the fees collected by YFU go for direct program costs (airline tickets, support in hosting country, etc.). YFU has been around for 59 years and has learned how to make exchanges successful.
Which ever program you choose, make sure they are listed with the Council for Standards on International Educational Travel (csiet.org). They routinely audit programs for quality.
One way to help pay for the program is for you to get a scholarship. With YFU, in a typical year 500 students will go overseas from the USA. 300 of them will have partial or full scholarships. While the scholarships are competitive, these odds aren't too bad. Most (if not all) of the scholarships will consider financial need as well. It is possible to apply for a scholarship and, if you don't get one, all you've lost is the $75 application fee. The costs are listed on the yfu website (yfu-usa.org).
As for the rest of the cost, YFU has a booklet with ideas on how to raise money. Either email me with an email address where you can receive attachments or go to: http://yfuusa.org/media/Education/YFU_20
If you don't mind, I'll explain the process for you.
- Gather information and talk to school counselors and have a family conversation.
- Pick a country and length of stay. YFU has programs to 39 countries this year (the list will vary slightly from year to year). The options vary from country to country, but there are year, summer, and semester programs. Most of the countries do not require prior language study.
- Complete the application. There will be an application form with general questions (name, age, etc.), questions about why you want to go, questions about your interests (to help match you with a good family), a transcript request form, teacher recommendation form, and a medical physical form. (Note: you will need to be in good mental and physical health, but some mild physical conditions can be accommodated.) You can also apply for scholarships at the same time (or just apply for scholarships and make your participation in the program contingent on getting one). You have options for submitting the application - on-line, on the phone, scan %26amp; email, fax, and snail mail. Generally speaking, you will need to have a 2.0 (out of 4.0) GPA for summer programs and 3.0 for semester programs.
- Participate in an in-person interview. This isn't an interrogation (I've done one) - just want to make sure we can place you with the right family for you and that you didn't lie about something on your application (I'm sure it's happened at some point in YFU's 59 years).
- Pay for the program.
- Participate in a pre-departure orientation. This will be an event where volunteers with YFU will explain the rules of the program, types for adjustment, and (possibly) some of the country-specific things you should expect.
- Correspond with your host family as soon as he can. This helps give you and them an introduction to each other. It also helps to show interest.
- Go on exchange and enjoy! You will be assigned to a local YFU representative who will help you and your host family have a successful time. You will go to school like a normal teenager (unless you go on a non-educational program), you will have a overseas family for the rest of your life, and you will get incredible memories!
- Come home and share your experience.
Check out the websites and videos and good luck to you no matter what you choose! Feel free to email me. Have you considered hosting?How much does it cost to be a foreign exchange student?I am going to be an exchange student all of next year with the Rotary Club! It is an amazing organization and depending where you live you can travel to a variety of places. My district exchanges with Germany, Finland %26amp; Estonia, Brazil, India, France, Switzerland, Japan, Turkey, and Sweden.You will have to attend school while you are there, but you are not expected to do any of the school work.(Which will cause you to have to re due the grade level you have missed) I have not yet decide where I want to go but I am so excited! With the rotary club it depends what district you are with, for a long term exchange it is around $6000. Some clubs will pay half of it, or even all of it. The club I am with is paying for the entire trip. If you go to Europe there is a tour that cost $2000 and takes 12 days, and you go to 7 countries throughout Europe. It is an amazing opportunity and I definitely recommend it!
If you are wanting to go on a shorter exchange than a year, there is also the short term exchange which you can find more info. on this website.

What looks really good an a rotary foreign exchange?
I want to do a foreign exchange and rotary is the cheapest (I plan on going to the netherlands) what looks good, and will help you get accepted? How diffecult is it to get accepted? How hard is it to get a scholarship?What looks really good an a rotary foreign exchange?You have to be 15 to go -- it doesn't matter whether you are in high school or not.
Good grades, extra curricular activities and a good record of community service will all contribute to your acceptance. Foreign language helps too.

How does a person go about hosting an exchange student?
I live in MN and am interested in possibly hosting an exchange student. Where can I go to get information? Does it cost money - does the student have money available to them while they are here?How does a person go about hosting an exchange student?How wonderful that you are considering opening your home to someone! I am a 5-time host mom and volunteer with Youth For Understanding (YFU). I will not pretend that YFU is the only good exchange program around, but we have had a very good experience with it. The first student we hosted was with another program (that no longer exists) and we learned a few things during that time. We then moved out of State (twice) and so had a decade gap in hosting. After we got into the position to host again, we called our school to see if they had any recommendations - they didn't - and then did a little research. We started by calling agencies listed with the Council for Standards on International Educational Travel (csiet.org). They routinely audit programs for quality. One of the most important parts of an exchange organization is their local representative. As we live in Wyoming, many did not have one (nor seemed to care that one was needed). In the end, we ended up with YFU. I would highly recommend them. Yes, I am a volunteer for them, but I only became a volunteer after we'd hosted for 3 years. My time is very precious to me and so I won't waste it on things I don't feel passionately about. (Full disclosure: in the little over 1 year that I've been a volunteer, I've gotten a $15 gift card to a local restaurant, a YFU Tshirt, and a YFU sweatshirt. So I have gotten things of financial value, but I am certainly not paid.)
I've put links below that you can use to get more information. You can also email me.
Financially speaking, all the host families are required to provide are room (a bed to sleep in (either in a personal room or a shared room with a host sibling of the same sex), a place to put some personal belongings (clothes...), and (of course) access to a bathroom (can be shared)) and board (3 meals a day (our kids are accustomed to making their own breakfast, getting cash in the amount of slightly more than school lunch, and then eating whatever my husband and I eat for supper), basic utilities (hot water, electricity)). The student must also have a way to get to school - if you are reasonably close to school, they can walk, bicycle, rollerblade, whatever. If you're not, they can ride the school bus, ride with you on your way to work (what our kids do - the school is literally on my way), ride with friends, etc. Many kids in our region take the school bus until they find friends to ride with. The 'rule of thumb' when deciding who pays for what is: if it's a family activity, the family pays (for example, if the family decide to go to a movie, they pay); if it's something the student wants to do, the student pays (examples: if the student wants a new pair of jeans, if the student wants a haircut, if the student needs soccer shoes in order to join the school team, etc.).

How would you feel about hosting a foreign exchange student in your home?
I am directing this question not only at Americans but at all nationalities who might read the question and have thoughts about the subject.
This year my family is hosting two students, one from Germany and one from Hong Kong, both girls. In the past we have hosted two boys from Germany, one boy from Korea, and one girl each from Germany and Hong Kong. This is our third full year to host, and we also hosted for a partial year.
Our son was a foreign exchange student in Germany for a year.
We have had exceptional kids to work with. The experiences have been incredible and we are connected to all of our past and present kids.
Would you consider hosting a child from a foreign land?How would you feel about hosting a foreign exchange student in your home?I'm on my 13th! Our first just as an arrival family. I have four Danes, three Germans, two Swedes, two Swiss, one Finn and one Brasilian!
As you can tell, we love it. We've also had exceptional students to work with as well ... and we wouldn't trade any of them!
To top it all off, we spent our 25th anniversary on a three-week tour of Europe visiting many of them!
Hosting not only gives you a new son or daughter, but it gives you a whole new family as well!
The one thing that concerns me about your question however, is that it ALMOST seems like a recruitment of host families. I'm sure you really didn't mean it that way, but I certainly would NOT be looking for families for students on the Internet!
Congratulations on your international family!How would you feel about hosting a foreign exchange student in your home?I have hosted off/on for 15 yrs. Some have been great and others not so great. We are hosting now, had 4 but three moved-selfish-went to their school said we didn't feed them so they could move closer to school-after we had taken them on a trip to Colorado. I spent $400 on groceries so they lied.
And hey if the female exchange students are hott, it wouldn't hurt to have some eye candy around the house.How would you feel about hosting a foreign exchange student in your home?Yes. My family's hosted 2 Japanese exchange students, 1 German exchange student and 2 German interns. I enjoy it although it can be annoying to pick and send the kids to school or when they make something for tea and not clean up!
I was also an exchange student abroad.
I have my own place now and would like to host an exchange student again but I doubt any of the organisations would let a single lady of 22 to host any;) Exchange students can also be expensive! Besides board and food, you have to take them out (which I enjoy) and where I'm from, we pay for everything and usually even give the kids an allowance (not because we HAVE to but because we want to.. it's like my parents give me an allowance so it would be unfair if they didn't give their temporarily adopted 'son' his allowance!).
Whoops, back to the question: I would definitely host an exchange student.How would you feel about hosting a foreign exchange student in your home?Yes, I'd definitely do it.
I have an overseas scholarship programme I run for primary aged Thai students. We rely on the kindness of western people to host our children. In my experience, families who are 'in it for the money' really turn out to be the worst families. Those looking to gain something other than profit out of the experience are always the better ones. It's often the way that the family wants their own child to meet children from other cultures, so therefore offer to host one of our children.
To me, you sound like someone who is involved for the benefit of those students you are hosting. That is a truly selfless attribute to you as a human, well done.How would you feel about hosting a foreign exchange student in your home?I would love to do that, but our house is only two bedrooms and they are both full of stuff. Kudos to you!How would you feel about hosting a foreign exchange student in your home?We are hosting right now. This is our 5th student and she is PERFECT! She's eager to learn about...everything. Right now she's watching American football and trying to learn the rules. She brought her camera and is making a scrapbook. She tries any food we cook, she's making friends in school, just everything is perfect! The other 4 we hosted in the past were utter nightmares so I still can't recommend hosting to people because the odds of getting another spoiled selfish brat who doesn't want to be here is just too high.Fish camcorders

How much does it cost to be a foreign exchange student?
I've been studying German recently and I think it sounds really fun to maybe do a foreign exchange program and live there for a few months. My mum says it's very expensive though, and I can't seem to find an estimate or even something exact on the internet. So I'd like it if someone answered? Thanks.How much does it cost to be a foreign exchange student?If I may, I would like to cast a vote for Youth For Understanding (YFU). I am a 5-time host mom and volunteer with YFU. When I have asked exchange students why they chose YFU, I get the following answers: (1) YFU gave them more bang for their buck and/or (2) someone they knew and trusted recommended YFU. 95% of the fees collected by YFU go for direct program costs (airline tickets, support in hosting country, etc.). YFU has been around for 59 years and has learned how to make exchanges successful.
Which ever program you choose, make sure they are listed with the Council for Standards on International Educational Travel (csiet.org). They routinely audit programs for quality.
One way to help pay for the program is for you to get a scholarship. With YFU, in a typical year 500 students will go overseas from the USA. 300 of them will have partial or full scholarships. While the scholarships are competitive, these odds aren't too bad. Most (if not all) of the scholarships will consider financial need as well. It is possible to apply for a scholarship and, if you don't get one, all you've lost is the $75 application fee. The costs are listed on the yfu website (yfu-usa.org).
As for the rest of the cost, YFU has a booklet with ideas on how to raise money. Either email me with an email address where you can receive attachments or go to: http://yfuusa.org/media/Education/YFU_20
If you don't mind, I'll explain the process for you.
- Gather information and talk to school counselors and have a family conversation.
- Pick a country and length of stay. YFU has programs to 39 countries this year (the list will vary slightly from year to year). The options vary from country to country, but there are year, summer, and semester programs. Most of the countries do not require prior language study.
- Complete the application. There will be an application form with general questions (name, age, etc.), questions about why you want to go, questions about your interests (to help match you with a good family), a transcript request form, teacher recommendation form, and a medical physical form. (Note: you will need to be in good mental and physical health, but some mild physical conditions can be accommodated.) You can also apply for scholarships at the same time (or just apply for scholarships and make your participation in the program contingent on getting one). You have options for submitting the application - on-line, on the phone, scan %26amp; email, fax, and snail mail. Generally speaking, you will need to have a 2.0 (out of 4.0) GPA for summer programs and 3.0 for semester programs.
- Participate in an in-person interview. This isn't an interrogation (I've done one) - just want to make sure we can place you with the right family for you and that you didn't lie about something on your application (I'm sure it's happened at some point in YFU's 59 years).
- Pay for the program.
- Participate in a pre-departure orientation. This will be an event where volunteers with YFU will explain the rules of the program, types for adjustment, and (possibly) some of the country-specific things you should expect.
- Correspond with your host family as soon as he can. This helps give you and them an introduction to each other. It also helps to show interest.
- Go on exchange and enjoy! You will be assigned to a local YFU representative who will help you and your host family have a successful time. You will go to school like a normal teenager (unless you go on a non-educational program), you will have a overseas family for the rest of your life, and you will get incredible memories!
- Come home and share your experience.
Check out the websites and videos and good luck to you no matter what you choose! Feel free to email me. Have you considered hosting?How much does it cost to be a foreign exchange student?I am going to be an exchange student all of next year with the Rotary Club! It is an amazing organization and depending where you live you can travel to a variety of places. My district exchanges with Germany, Finland %26amp; Estonia, Brazil, India, France, Switzerland, Japan, Turkey, and Sweden.You will have to attend school while you are there, but you are not expected to do any of the school work.(Which will cause you to have to re due the grade level you have missed) I have not yet decide where I want to go but I am so excited! With the rotary club it depends what district you are with, for a long term exchange it is around $6000. Some clubs will pay half of it, or even all of it. The club I am with is paying for the entire trip. If you go to Europe there is a tour that cost $2000 and takes 12 days, and you go to 7 countries throughout Europe. It is an amazing opportunity and I definitely recommend it!
If you are wanting to go on a shorter exchange than a year, there is also the short term exchange which you can find more info. on this website.

What looks really good an a rotary foreign exchange?
I want to do a foreign exchange and rotary is the cheapest (I plan on going to the netherlands) what looks good, and will help you get accepted? How diffecult is it to get accepted? How hard is it to get a scholarship?What looks really good an a rotary foreign exchange?You have to be 15 to go -- it doesn't matter whether you are in high school or not.
Good grades, extra curricular activities and a good record of community service will all contribute to your acceptance. Foreign language helps too.

How does a person go about hosting an exchange student?
I live in MN and am interested in possibly hosting an exchange student. Where can I go to get information? Does it cost money - does the student have money available to them while they are here?How does a person go about hosting an exchange student?How wonderful that you are considering opening your home to someone! I am a 5-time host mom and volunteer with Youth For Understanding (YFU). I will not pretend that YFU is the only good exchange program around, but we have had a very good experience with it. The first student we hosted was with another program (that no longer exists) and we learned a few things during that time. We then moved out of State (twice) and so had a decade gap in hosting. After we got into the position to host again, we called our school to see if they had any recommendations - they didn't - and then did a little research. We started by calling agencies listed with the Council for Standards on International Educational Travel (csiet.org). They routinely audit programs for quality. One of the most important parts of an exchange organization is their local representative. As we live in Wyoming, many did not have one (nor seemed to care that one was needed). In the end, we ended up with YFU. I would highly recommend them. Yes, I am a volunteer for them, but I only became a volunteer after we'd hosted for 3 years. My time is very precious to me and so I won't waste it on things I don't feel passionately about. (Full disclosure: in the little over 1 year that I've been a volunteer, I've gotten a $15 gift card to a local restaurant, a YFU Tshirt, and a YFU sweatshirt. So I have gotten things of financial value, but I am certainly not paid.)

Financially speaking, all the host families are required to provide are room (a bed to sleep in (either in a personal room or a shared room with a host sibling of the same sex), a place to put some personal belongings (clothes...), and (of course) access to a bathroom (can be shared)) and board (3 meals a day (our kids are accustomed to making their own breakfast, getting cash in the amount of slightly more than school lunch, and then eating whatever my husband and I eat for supper), basic utilities (hot water, electricity)). The student must also have a way to get to school - if you are reasonably close to school, they can walk, bicycle, rollerblade, whatever. If you're not, they can ride the school bus, ride with you on your way to work (what our kids do - the school is literally on my way), ride with friends, etc. Many kids in our region take the school bus until they find friends to ride with.

This year my family is hosting two students, one from Germany and one from Hong Kong, both girls. In the past we have hosted two boys from Germany, one boy from Korea, and one girl each from Germany and Hong Kong. This is our third full year to host, and we also hosted for a partial year.
Our son was a foreign exchange student in Germany for a year.
We have had exceptional kids to work with. The experiences have been incredible and we are connected to all of our past and present kids.
Would you consider hosting a child from a foreign land?How would you feel about hosting a foreign exchange student in your home?I'm on my 13th! Our first just as an arrival family. I have four Danes, three Germans, two Swedes, two Swiss, one Finn and one Brasilian!
As you can tell, we love it. We've also had exceptional students to work with as well ... and we wouldn't trade any of them!
To top it all off, we spent our 25th anniversary on a three-week tour of Europe visiting many of them!
Hosting not only gives you a new son or daughter, but it gives you a whole new family as well!
The one thing that concerns me about your question however, is that it ALMOST seems like a recruitment of host families. I'm sure you really didn't mean it that way, but I certainly would NOT be looking for families for students on the Internet!
Congratulations on your international family!How would you feel about hosting a foreign exchange student in your home?I have hosted off/on for 15 yrs. Some have been great and others not so great. We are hosting now, had 4 but three moved-selfish-went to their school said we didn't feed them so they could move closer to school-after we had taken them on a trip to Colorado. I spent $400 on groceries so they lied.

How would you feel about hosting a foreign exchange student in your home?Also would like to add, we like hosting, most of the time. These 3 who left were through a private school, not through a program that uses public schools. We will probably continue hosting.Report Abuse
How would you feel about hosting a foreign exchange student in your home?Yea I'd definitely consider doing that. It sounds fun, although I don't think living with me would be the %26quot;American experience%26quot; they were probably looking for. Home, School, Work, and Sleep....And hey if the female exchange students are hott, it wouldn't hurt to have some eye candy around the house.How would you feel about hosting a foreign exchange student in your home?Yes. My family's hosted 2 Japanese exchange students, 1 German exchange student and 2 German interns. I enjoy it although it can be annoying to pick and send the kids to school or when they make something for tea and not clean up!
I was also an exchange student abroad.
I have my own place now and would like to host an exchange student again but I doubt any of the organisations would let a single lady of 22 to host any;) Exchange students can also be expensive! Besides board and food, you have to take them out (which I enjoy) and where I'm from, we pay for everything and usually even give the kids an allowance (not because we HAVE to but because we want to.. it's like my parents give me an allowance so it would be unfair if they didn't give their temporarily adopted 'son' his allowance!).
Whoops, back to the question: I would definitely host an exchange student.How would you feel about hosting a foreign exchange student in your home?Yes, I'd definitely do it.
I have an overseas scholarship programme I run for primary aged Thai students. We rely on the kindness of western people to host our children. In my experience, families who are 'in it for the money' really turn out to be the worst families. Those looking to gain something other than profit out of the experience are always the better ones. It's often the way that the family wants their own child to meet children from other cultures, so therefore offer to host one of our children.
To me, you sound like someone who is involved for the benefit of those students you are hosting. That is a truly selfless attribute to you as a human, well done.How would you feel about hosting a foreign exchange student in your home?I would love to do that, but our house is only two bedrooms and they are both full of stuff. Kudos to you!How would you feel about hosting a foreign exchange student in your home?We are hosting right now. This is our 5th student and she is PERFECT! She's eager to learn about...everything. Right now she's watching American football and trying to learn the rules. She brought her camera and is making a scrapbook. She tries any food we cook, she's making friends in school, just everything is perfect! The other 4 we hosted in the past were utter nightmares so I still can't recommend hosting to people because the odds of getting another spoiled selfish brat who doesn't want to be here is just too high.
How can i go about taking my car down to a different dealership to exchange it ?
I make monthly payments on my car and i was wondering if i take it down to a different dealership could i exchange cars. The dealer that sold me the car said that if i ever decide to exchange my car that i could not bring it back down to that dealership but i could bring it down to any of my choice, Recently i have been thinking of exchanging my car how would i go about doing so ?How can i go about taking my car down to a different dealership to exchange it ?I'm sorry to be the one that tells you this, but you have been deceived. There is no such thing as an exchange for a car unless you are willing to take a loss. Whenever you trade a car in to a dealership you are giving it away for much less than the car is usually worth. The only reason I would say to trade in your car would be to use that as a small down payment on a brand new car.
I would tell you to check Kelly Blue Book prices for your car and sell it back to the dealer for that but odds are you are upside down on your loan(meaning you owe more than the car is worth.) I would advise you keep your car and pay it off unless you can sell it to someone that is willing to pay off the remaining amount you owe.
Car dealers have no way to exchange a vehicle so I would very upset if I heard that from a salesman. Dealers can purchase a vehicle off of you but usually only to get you to buy a more expensive car than you already had that almost always makes them money and you loose money.How can i go about taking my car down to a different dealership to exchange it ?They lied. You cannot %26quot;exchange%26quot; it ANYWHERE. They will take it in on trade, but you will be cheated and end up paying a LOT of money.How can i go about taking my car down to a different dealership to exchange it ?the dealer is basically telling you that they cant help you with out getting into specifics.
You cannot just go and exchange for another vehicle.
since you now have a loan on the vehicle if you bought it new, its now considered used and worht less than what you paid for it.
the only thing you can do is go to any dealer and try to trade it in for the new vehicle you want and see what th ecost difference per month is going to be. You need to contact the lender and get a current vehicle payoff amount and see what the trade value would be vs how much you owe.
If you owe significantly more than what the vehicle is worth then it would be very difficult to change vehicles.
either your payments would increase a great deal
you would have to put a large amount down to cover the difference
or the amount difference would be too great and you would not be able add that amount onto the new vehicle.How can i go about taking my car down to a different dealership to exchange it ?you go to the dealer-you pick out a car. The dealer then looks over your car and gives you a price that they will give you. If the price is lower than the balance of the loan they will add that balance to the next car loan. Dealers do not just exchange cars unless you have something in writing. I think it would be better for you to just keep the car.How can i go about taking my car down to a different dealership to exchange it ?This is a free country last time I checked. You have the right to do business with any car dealer on the planet if you so choose.
But the other person is correct. You don't %26quot;EXCHANGE%26quot; your car, you trade it in. Any new or used car dealer will make you an offer to buy your car. Then you make them an offer to buy theirs. The balance of the transaction ( the price difference between your car and theirs) needs to be worked out in cash or with a loan.
Part of that transaction must include paying off your existing loan.How can i go about taking my car down to a different dealership to exchange it ?Ok, this is Precious. As a car dealer the first thing I have to ask is, How bad are you or did he put you upside down in your car loan. There are several reasons a car dealer wouldn't want you to trade a car at his place that he sold you. First is he sold you a car that nobody but you wanted. Second it's a piece of garbage. Third, he buried you so deep in the car that he can't you financed or can't even come close to a decent trade value. Neither one of these scenarios are good., You can trade your car in just about anywhere as long as you get real money for your trade and not roll your loan over, then all your doing is digging a bigger hole.rodents ex spouse

How is the process of becoming a foreign exchange student?
I've been considering becoming a foreign exchange student from a semester to a year, but the process seems really tedious. For anyone who has experience in this, how is it? I was thinking through Rotary International, unless you have another suggestion.How is the process of becoming a foreign exchange student?The two biggest programs are Rotary (the least expensive) and AFS. Both are really good programs, it all comes down to the little details and cost. Rotary places you with 2-3 families, and you switch every few months. Rotary requires you to do a few more things when you get back, like speak about your experience. You don't nessacaraly get to pick your country through Rotary - it is more of a suggestion. They tell you to choose your top 4 usually. My friend wanted to go to Japan, and she is going to S. Korea. Rotary has more country %26quot;choices%26quot; than AFS. AFS is much larger and has less rules. AFS is about double the cost (from 8,000 to 10,100 just for tuition, you still have to get spending money) Rotary sends you at least $50 a month for spending money. I am personally going with Rotary, but I had a few friends go with AFS and they loved it. They had orientations, and they traveled throughout Europe. Just choose one and GO!
p.s. Rotary can be a lot more selective than AFS - AFS only requires you to have a 2.8 gpa. And you can be 15 to go through AFSHow is the process of becoming a foreign exchange student?I'm actually hoping to take part in a foreign exchange program next summer... just for a month probably. I've been doing some research for a while now and a lot of people have recomended Rotary and everything about it has been pretty positive- compared to the other organizations its a lot less money too. The only thing I dont like about it is that the person from the other family will have to come to my house as well... its pretty boring where I live though. Some other good programs that I found were the Center for Cultural Interchange and Two Worlds United. Again, there are many great programs... like Youth for Understanding... but everything is really expensive (if money isn't an object then YFU is great too). Also, before you sign up with any program make sure to check it out that its safe... theres a website for it. good luck with everything :)

How do i make money from the currency exchange?
I was just wondering if anyone could explain to me how to make money from the exchange market. Could someone try to explain it to me in simple terms, and do they know how easy it is, or what i should do to start making some money. ThanksHow do i make money from the currency exchange?1) Buy it low, sell it high, or;
2) Be the bank

Seriously, tho, I can tell from your message you have no idea what you're doing in this area, so the best advice would be to stay out of it. There are millions of participants in the forex markets, most of whom do know what they're doing, and they want your money. Odds are very high that they'll get it.
If you INSIST on getting involved in a market you don't know, tho, there's only one strategy which is worth pursuing. Most people follow a 'trend-opposing' strategy, no matter which market they are trying to trade. This is when you buy something which has fallen in price, and sell something after it has risen. Sounds logical, but it's a disastrous trading strategy. We're wired that way, psychologically speaking -- we want to buy things which are cheaper than they were, and sell them when they're more expensive -- and it sounds like a way to make money, but it's not. It amounts to bucking the trend, and what eventually happens is that you buy something which has declined, say, 5%, and it carries right on down, say, 50% more. Now you're buried.
The only strategy which, when correctly applied, consistently leads to profits over long periods of time is trend FOLLOWing. This is where you buy something which has broken up to new highs, or you sell something which has broken down to new lows. It sounds counterintuitive, but it's not. When a major high or low is broken, sometimes it's a pre-cursor to a major move, and this -- maybe one trade out of every ten -- is where you'll make pretty much all of your money.
To repeat, I do not consider it wise to jump into a market you don't understand, particularly when that market is filled with experts ready and able to part you from your money. But if you decide to go ahead with it anyway, at least give yourself the best odds possible, and do it the right way, even tho it sounds counterintuitive.

You need two countries with floating currencies. Let's take Spain and the United States; as the U.S. economy weakens and the European economy strengthens, the dollar loses its buying power (value) while the Euro gains. This means that the Euro can now buy more dollars. Now usually the change isn't very extreme, but it can be; if you bought the Euro at a 1:1 exchange rate, you'd make a killing now that there's been a 50% rise to the value of the Euro (it's now 1:1.5).How do i make money from the currency exchange?Buy the currency when it is cheap, sell it when it isn't, sounds easy, well.....................How do i make money from the currency exchange?noitall in the UK is right, if it were me I would buy US dollars because it is down and it will come back up very soonHow do i make money from the currency exchange?to make money from the currency exchange you first need to consider some aspect. first of all keep a watch of the value of the currencies. when the price of a currency (e.g $AU) is low buy a large sum of the money and when you see the value of the money is going up decide when is the perfect time to sell it. Sell when u think the currency has riched it's maximum value. That way u get a better profit cause u brought the money with low price but sold it for more. Recently the value of the $AU has gone up agains the $US. sooo maby start thinking.How do i make money from the currency exchange?say you got 15g's. you trade it to euro when it first came out.
today you take your 15g's of euro into usd, its obviously worth alot more now, right?How do i make money from the currency exchange?There are plenty of currency trading engines available on the internet and the sums required to earn an ok return are not tremendously high because you will trade on margin (hence your actual investment is only a fraction of the supposed margin call).
In currency markets you will always trade pairs such as GBP/USD, or EUR/GBP and so on. You can either have long or short positions depending on your strategy, and you'll have to follow the news very well - especially news on interest rates, trade and politics.
Trading on a margin is very risky so make sure your trading provider (perhaps DB?) gives the option of insured stop loss orders so that you're not down for several thousands (or millions) in a margin call that didn't go your way.
In terms of general trends, against the GBP, you'll probably see USD dropping further and EUR rising. Other than that, since commodities are doing quite well, you might see the currencies of Australia, Chile, Brazil, Norway and so on appreciate against both the GBP and the Dollar.

How did the Columbian Exchange of food affect the New and Old Worlds?
Any ideas for how the transfer of food during the Columbian exchange impacted society? I have a list of the food brought to and from America and Europe, but how did its exchange affect everybody?How did the Columbian Exchange of food affect the New and Old Worlds?Well, not only food was transported. Diseases and animals were exchanged as well. This %26quot;gave%26quot; the natives of the America's diseases, such as small pox, that they had no immunity to. This killed almost half the population in Mexico.

Potatoes are a greta source of carbohydrates, and are very easy to grow. They do not require a lot of water or care. This aided Ireland during their depression. This tripled their population, and saved many lives.

Slaves were also exchanged. They were used for labor within the British, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and the Dutch colonies. They worked on plantations with plantains, bannanas, and all other foods that could only be grown in the Americas due to the weather conditions.

What are the requirements for being a foreign exchange student in Japan?
Such as, how much Japanese do you have to know? Where do you sign up for the program where you and a Japanese student exchange homes((i.e:you go to japan, and they come to America and you live in each other's homes))Also, what year of high school do you go if you sign up for the program? How many spots are there? Are there limited spots?What are the requirements for being a foreign exchange student in Japan?When I went, it was through Youth For Understanding.
Though this program is not the same sort of thing you are thinking of (no switching with another student; your family doesn't have to host), it is a great program that is very interesting.
I went for a summer term. There is also a full year and a semester term that you can do, but the requirements are different.
You are not required to know Japanese, but they will send you a basic course in it if you ask. It's best to know all you can.
I got a scholarship, so all I had to pay was a small application fee.
Your grade in school there depends on a few things, like if you have a host brother or sister.What are the requirements for being a foreign exchange student in Japan?It all depends on the program you use as each program has different specifications. However, it's probably good that you have at least a year or so of Japanese (that is, know how to read kana and basic kanji, have an understanding of Japanese grammar) since spending a year away from family and not knowing even the basics of a language would be very stressful, especially to a younger student. I've seen many places that, as a requirement, need a %26quot;mature%26quot; student.
Most of the people I know who have done foreign exchanges did them in either their junior or senior year of high school with, naturally, a couple years under their belt of the language. This goes for people leaving the U.S. and people entering the U.S. from another country.
I would check to see if the city you're living in is sister cities with one in Japan. (Usually Wikipedia is helpful and easy with this.) If there is, there's probably a greater chance there's a sturdy company you can get in touch with that does regular exchanges between families.What are the requirements for being a foreign exchange student in Japan?The requirements vary with each school and program. When I was in college (SFSU), our school had two different programs, one with Waseda Univ and another with Aoyamu Gakuin Univ. Both programs had required at least 4 semesters of Japanese grammar, writing and reading. These were you basic Japanese 101, 102, 201 and 202. They also required at least 1 semester of intense Kanji study. Finally there was a required semester of conversation class needed. On top of that you had to complete all of your other fresh-soph gen ed classes and maintain a min 2.5 GPA. The Waseda program was competative and there were only 2 seats available for our university. The Aoyama program was more open. My year, 4 of my friends went to Aoyama for one year. One final catch that caught me by surprise, was the financial requirements. You had to pay you regualr university fees, plus a bunch of extra fees for the Japanese dorms and general living expenses. On top of that you had to have and show proof of a bank account in your name or your joint with your parents that shows an average balance of $15,000. This was a final back up plan for any financial unseen financial burdens that might happen. This was all for a full university academic year. In this case sign up and information meetings were all coordianted through the university foreign language department.
If you did all that, you came back for your 4th year of langauge studies and then graduated. While on the exchange program, you only studied Japanese. All other studies were on hold. If you were a double major (Japanese : something else), you still had two+ more years of college. If you were a Japanese minor+major in something else, you had the minor requirements completed, but still had to complete your major studies.What are the requirements for being a foreign exchange student in Japan?Some USA schools have sister city programs which are safer than just finding an exchange placement agency. In Tulsa Okalahoma, the students exchange with the Utsunomiya Japan students. If your school does not have a sister city exchange then be very careful about the agencies - check them out because the agencies do not check criminal backgrounds of foreign homes. In the USA it is the 1st year that host homes have had some kind of criminal check but it is still taking a chance living with a stranger family on the other side of the world. Check the Committee for Safety of Foreign exchange Students and check the Internal Revenue Service 990 records on www.guidestar.org You must speak enough Japanese to study high school level classes. If you are in college you can go on an exchange to learn and speak to become more fluent(immersion exchanges). The college exchange is sponsored by the college and you get college credit but not in high school. High school exchange does not give you credit. The spots are not limited. The agencies will take your money no matter what and then when you get to the foreign country if there is a dirty home, don't get along with the family -- you lose your money. No money back guarantee so watch out.What are the requirements for being a foreign exchange student in Japan?I signed up for this program under the Lions Club and I have just back from Japan. Basically not much Japanese can understand English. Maybe you will have communication problem with them. I have few Japanese friends in Fukuoka, Japan. So I went to one of my friend's high school. She was studied in grade 2.school nurse needing advice How do you get your blankets clean
Though this program is not the same sort of thing you are thinking of (no switching with another student; your family doesn't have to host), it is a great program that is very interesting.
I went for a summer term. There is also a full year and a semester term that you can do, but the requirements are different.
You are not required to know Japanese, but they will send you a basic course in it if you ask. It's best to know all you can.
I got a scholarship, so all I had to pay was a small application fee.
Your grade in school there depends on a few things, like if you have a host brother or sister.What are the requirements for being a foreign exchange student in Japan?It all depends on the program you use as each program has different specifications. However, it's probably good that you have at least a year or so of Japanese (that is, know how to read kana and basic kanji, have an understanding of Japanese grammar) since spending a year away from family and not knowing even the basics of a language would be very stressful, especially to a younger student. I've seen many places that, as a requirement, need a %26quot;mature%26quot; student.
Most of the people I know who have done foreign exchanges did them in either their junior or senior year of high school with, naturally, a couple years under their belt of the language. This goes for people leaving the U.S. and people entering the U.S. from another country.
I would check to see if the city you're living in is sister cities with one in Japan. (Usually Wikipedia is helpful and easy with this.) If there is, there's probably a greater chance there's a sturdy company you can get in touch with that does regular exchanges between families.What are the requirements for being a foreign exchange student in Japan?The requirements vary with each school and program. When I was in college (SFSU), our school had two different programs, one with Waseda Univ and another with Aoyamu Gakuin Univ. Both programs had required at least 4 semesters of Japanese grammar, writing and reading. These were you basic Japanese 101, 102, 201 and 202.

How to become a host for a Russian exchange student?
I'm really interested in Russian culture, and would really like to be a host for a Russian exchange student. How is that possible and how do I pursue it?How to become a host for a Russian exchange student?A perfect opportunity to become a host for a Russian exchange student and improve your Russian is through FLEX program - the Future Leaders Exchange Program, funded by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs.
The FLEX program provides scholarships for secondary school students from countries of the former Soviet Union to spend up to one academic year in the U.S. The students will live with host families, attend school, engage in activities to learn about American society and values, acquire leadership skills, and help educate Americans about their countries and cultures.
FLEX is currently looking for a host family for Valentin, an athletic teen from Russia, needs a host home. You can see his profile at http://155.212.99.62/asp/pax2.asp?st_id=
If you are interested, contact the local coordinator, Leahnor Soliven at 425-876-0773 or by email at leahnor.soliven@gmail.com. You can also contact Anatoliy Kochnev at PAX National Office at 1-800-555-6211.How to become a host for a Russian exchange student?If you are interested in hosting a student (from any culture) at the high school level, the first thing you need to do is make sure there are openings at your school and that the deadlines have not yet passed. Some schools require you to sign up in the spring.
Then you need to find an organization. The three best are AFS, YFU and Rotary. The reason they are the best is that they are the ONLY organizations that are volunteer based. People (%26quot;coordinators%26quot;) are NOT paid to place a student in your home and therefore do it because they believe in the programs rather than as a job. Check to see if one of these three is already in your school -- the counselor will know. If they are, get the name of a local representative. If they are not, you can apply on line (see below).
After the representative contacts you, you will go through an interview process and background check. (Note: a red flag is if an organization offers you a specific student BEFORE this is done). Once you have passed through the process, you will be given a list of students that you can choose from -- including Russians.
I'd also like to clear up something the other poster said. The FLEX program is out of the U.S. State Department and several organizations participate in it.

However, not all Russians come through this program -- they come through all programs.

If you are interested in hosting a college student, most of those do not come through programs. Contact the International Student center at a local college or university.
Good luck and happy hosting!

How can I make my new foreign exchange student feel more welcome?
Yesterday, my family picked up our new foreign exchange student from Italy. I want things to go very smoothly and I want her to not feel too homesick. Any tips or advice on how to make this all work well? All will be appreciated.How can I make my new foreign exchange student feel more welcome?i would suggest that at least once a week have italian food and the rest american or what ever you desire. show her around little italy so she can see if it's anything like her home town, but also be aware that she came over here for a reason so don't be afraid to ask her if their is anything she would like to see. i hope this works. good luck!How can I make my new foreign exchange student feel more welcome?It is very nice of you to be concerned about her, and that will probably make more difference than anything. I have worked with a lot of foreign exchange students, and the ones who were happiest with their homestays were always those who had hosts who weren't just renting out a room but rather took the time to include them in their families.
Help her meet other young people, both from your country and other foreign exchange students in the area. Having friends she can talk to will make her feel at home.
Take her out to see local sites. Tell her about some of the things to do in the area, and ask her what she'd like to do. Trying new experiences is probably the most exciting part of living abroad. Even seemingly mundane things like bowling can be interesting in a new country because it fives you a glimpse at a new culture and how people live %26amp; interact.
Ask her to teach you a few Italian phrases and maybe some dishes or whatever it is she can to help her feel like she's contributing to the family. Keep a sense of humor, and show her it's ok to make mistakes, like when you stumble over Italian phrases. That way she'll know you understand when she struggles with English.
Ask if the local elementary school would like her to come in and talk to the kids about her native land. This will help her feel proud of her culture %26amp; connect with the community. Schools often have international festivals, or she could talk to a class that is studying the Roman Empire.
Also give her the chance to have some alone time when she needs it. She may get depressed from time to time, and it's ok if she's a little sad. If you see her in a mood like that for more than a couple hours, just do a quick check-in with her and invite her to go out to dinner or even just grocery shopping or whatever it is you would do regularly, or ask if she'd like to invite one of her new friends over.
If you can give her access to the Internet to keep in touch with friends %26amp; family at home, that would be great, too.

How do you learn about the Foreign Exchange program?
I am trying to learn about the rules and regulations regarding this subject. I know people in Africa and think their son would benefit from a program for foreign exchange students.How do you learn about the Foreign Exchange program?Talk to your school advisor or guidance counselor about what kind of foreign exchange program they offer.How do you learn about the Foreign Exchange program?Find a school first that will take in the students. You need to have formal acceptance from the school first. THere are very few student exchange programs for high school students, but it's fairly common in college.
Then get a passport and apply for a Student visa in the Embassy of the country you want to study in. The requirements for a visa are listed in their website.
The requirements for International students is more or less the same for the regular student. SAT scores, High school transcript, extracurricular activities, application form, etc. Plus they need TOEFL and statement of capability to finance an education in US.
There are articles there about International students.
http://www.princetonreview.com
My advice is to contact the school you are interested in. Maybe through fax or e-mail. You could have an arrangement with the school for several of the boys to stay there for a year. With a family/sponsor. It's not uncommon for American families to host a foreign exchange student. They live with the families for a year, learn the American culture, eat American food, celebrate traditional American holidays, etc. It's much better than having them stay at a dormitory inside the campus where they'll spend holidays alone.

What are the differences between being an exchange student in high school and college?
I am a junior and I want to be an exchange student in Spain next year, but my parents think I should wait until college. What are the advantages and disadvantages of both? Also, if anyone has studied abroad with ASSE, how was it?What are the differences between being an exchange student in high school and college?Hello Lauren,
While both experiences have merit, they are different. In high school you will likely live with a host family and go to a local high school and truly immerse yourself into the culture. Most, but not all, college programs you will live in dorms and not get a true host family experience.
Youth For Understanding is a high school exchange program. We offer programs for students in high school along with a handful of programs open to recently graduated high school students through our Gap Year/semester program options.
Studying Abroad in high school will give you definite advantages in college - you are likely to be more focused, you may gain language credits (saving money), some universities offer scholarships to student who've previously studied abroad. Here is a great flyer you can print for your parents:

How fluent should I be for foreign exchange?
I want to become a foreign exchange student my junior year of high school. I've decided I want to visit Taiwan. The info about the programs says no Mandarin required, though they would like if you have some. I am almost done with Level 1 of Rosetta Stone Mandarin. Would I be able to communicate, fit in, make friends, and live for a year in Taiwan with that much knowledge?How fluent should I be for foreign exchange?As long as you try to talk to people, you will get better. By living in the language, you will learn it faster than through any other method. Usually, foreign exchange students fare pretty well with language capabilities because they live in it.
Good luck!How fluent should I be for foreign exchange?It would be better if you actually, start conversing with real people who speak Mandarin. Then you will learn quickly.

How would schooling work for a foreign exchange student to Brazil?
I am thinking about being a foreign exchange student to Brazil. Their seasons are the opposite of ours. Their school year begins in the middle of our school year (February) and ends in November. How does that work for us? Do we just leave in the middle of the year?How would schooling work for a foreign exchange student to Brazil?OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?Your going to go to BRazillll???? That's awesommmeee!!!! I am toooooo!!!!!!! LOL!!! What program? When are you going???
LOL
But anyway, this is your question.... Sooooooooooooooo:
There are two ways you can do it. If you leave summer departure in July (what I am doing) than you just start in the middle of their year, spend the summer with your host family, and then go back to school at the end of vacation. They will either put you in the same grade as you were, or after vacation, they may move you up, so you can be with the same people.
The other way, is to leave in the winter- January ish. You get there, and then you start with the rest of the school... however, then that messes up two of your school years at home..,...
I suggest a summer departure. That is what most people do!
Good luck!!!
And if you decide to do it, pleeeeesaaaseee contact me! I never see anyone else who is going to Brazil!!! lol.. ummmm my email is on my profile!!!

How can I exchange my foriegn currency back to dollars?
I have about 60 canadian dollars, 110 euros and 70 pounds left over from my summer travels. I want to convert them back to US dollars. How can I do this? I went to a chase bank and they told me that I needed to have a bank account with them to exchange money. Is there any bank, or any other place where I can exchange my money easily?How can I exchange my foriegn currency back to dollars?Nearly all international airports have money exchangers so that's one place (usually not the best exchange rate though), the main branches of banks in a city should do it and not force you to have a bank account, but do you have a bank account??
One way is to deposit the money to your own bank account and have it processed through the system. May take a few days until someone checks the bills etc but at least you'll have some money in your account.
A few of the money mart type places also do currency exchange but again not always a decent exchange rate.
So shop around.How can I exchange my foriegn currency back to dollars?International airports have currency exchanges where you can exchange money. You might also check with local currency exchanges and other large banks.

How to talk to a japanese exchange student?
I'm friends with this japanese exchange student at school, but have this language barrier. Whenever I have a joke, all my friends are laughing except for her. So how d I talk to her? What should I talk to her about? I've asked all the basic questions already, and she invited me to her birthday party already as well.How to talk to a japanese exchange student?Here are some things to think about:
1) It is always difficult for a non-English speaker to understand English humor. Therefore, don't expect a laugh from her every time you tell one.
2) Don't use difficult words if there is a better, easier word to use. Don't make your sentences long and drawn out. It often takes Japanese people a little time to process what you are saying before they get the message. That being said, don't treat her like a baby or a little kid.
3) Japanese students are very interested in our culture even if its something we take for granted. If you notice that something that might be new to her, then ask her if she is familiar with this type of culture and explain it to her if she is not.
4) When speaking to her be direct. Don't beat around the bush. It is hard for a Japanese person to understand your true intentions unless you use clear language. (When speaking in Japanese they do this all the time though)
5) Be patient, considerate and a good teacher. Obviously there will be communication troubles, but don't get frustrated. Instead, take it as an opportunity to teach someone.
Any more questions, just hit me up.phone can't calibrate printer

How would I describe how the exchange of O2 and CO2 occurs between your lungs and blood?
Also I need to discuss which mechanism of transport is used during gas exchange.
If I understand this right, my answer should be: Oxygen diffuses into capillaries from the alveoli and is transported to the heart. Also, carbon dioxide diffuses into capillaries from the aleoli and then expelled. This is an example of simple diffusion.
Is this the right answer, or am I leaving something out? It feels like I am.How would I describe how the exchange of O2 and CO2 occurs between your lungs and blood?I guess you could mention that the gases are transported by red blood cells (RBC) but at the basic level, yes, that's what happens. If you want, you could include how the gas enters the body (e.g.: nostrils, mouth, trachea, etc.)

It feels like I am.How would I describe how the exchange of O2 and CO2 occurs between your lungs and blood?I guess you could mention that the gases are transported by red blood cells (RBC) but at the basic level, yes, that's what happens. If you want, you could include how the gas enters the body (e.g.: nostrils, mouth, trachea, etc.)

How do i get the best exchange rate for 拢 to euros?
Living in England and going to Amsterdam and Tenerife in the next month and needind to change about 1000. Would i be best doing it here or in Amsterdam or in Tenerife. In other words where will i get the best exchange rate? Thanks in advance.How do i get the best exchange rate for 拢 to euros?Everything I have ever heard is that the best way is to get them from an ATM. You can't do anything about the daily rate but you can avoid fees by using an ATM in your bank's network and the exchange rate at an ATM is almost always better than at the airport, a currency exchange, hotel or just about anywhere else. In fact, you can just about be sure that you will get a worse deal anywhere other than an ATM. If the ATM is not in your bank network, you will pay fees, perhaps from both the ATM bank and your own, so be careful. As I understand it, you can get Euros from some ATM's right in London so perhaps your own bank's ATM is best.How do i get the best exchange rate for 拢 to euros?Visit this address and if you dont get the %26quot;BEST%26quot; exchange rate, I will eat my hat.

What is the best way to exchange money when traveling to mexico?
And how much should be exchange ahead of time to have on hand once we land at the airport to pay cabs, etc?What is the best way to exchange money when traveling to mexico?You can exchange at the airport if you are flying. Then I think most any bank or hotel can exchangethe moeny for you. A lot of the debit/atm cards are accepted down there in the ATMs. So I would get large amounts of money out at once and only have to pay the fee one time. Better than having a ton of US (or whatever) money stashed away in a drawer.
In order to do an easy conversion for cabs and stuff, just think about what you would pay in the US (5 dollars?) then multiply that by ten. Then you would have to have 50 pesos on hand. When I studied in Guanajuato I think the taxi rides across a kind of smallish town cost about 20 pesos... Everything costs just cheaper than it does here. I think a 30 min cab ride to the city from the airport cost would cost about $30 american, so that would be 300 pesos.What is the best way to exchange money when traveling to mexico?I do not reccomend exchanging.Besides you get a better deal if U pay with dollars than pesos. If you pay with pesos you buy the dollar at $1.00 per 10 pesos, if you pay with dollars, they get your dollar at for like 11 + pesos. Its better to just use dollars.
Exchanging in Mexico or in an international airport will not get you as good a rate.
You can also use your credit card in Mexico. AMX usually has the best exchange rates.What is the best way to exchange money when traveling to mexico?I would say go specifically to an exchange rate place. The rates at airports and banks in Mexico is not the best. Take a look around first to a couple of places so you can find the best one.What is the best way to exchange money when traveling to mexico?You can use your bank debit card in a lot of countries now, too. But I wouldn't count on it unless you are going to a big city.What is the best way to exchange money when traveling to mexico?I have been to Mexico bunch of times and I would do it when your crossing the border or right when you get off your flight , the airport will probably have one; I really don't know lots of places in Mexico that take credit cards or etc. Unless it is a place where lots of tourists go!!!!!!!!!advice from men and women private myspace
