How much French would I have to know to be a foreign exchange student there?

I'm a sophomore and was planning on being a foreign exchange student either next year of my senior year. I'm a french 2 and was going to go to a month long french camp next summer and get a french tudor so i could learn as much french as possible.

do you think i'd know enough to be able to function as a foreign exchange student?How much French would I have to know to be a foreign exchange student there?Isn't the point of being an exchange student in a foreign country to learn the language of that country?How much French would I have to know to be a foreign exchange student there?It would suck for one or two months, but everything would eventually click in. You won't believe how fast you can learn a language when it's the only option you have to communicate with other people.

You might start off here in the states with some french language software to help you get a good foundation before you go. Try http://www.wor.com/cat-learn-f .

For something of this nature you don't need to worry about your level of French. The whole point is to go and get better, from whatever starting point. However, for a university you usually need a DALF C1 lvl
