Dear Nora, thanks for another amazing video about Paris. As I am going to move to Paris next year it's very useful to have some information. Thank you so much I love your videos and your positivity 💗😍☀️
Thank you Nora! Watched all your videos and I’ve watched everyone else’s videos about what to know before moving and I’ve been excited to see your opinion
Amazing video with important, practical information. Thanks for posting. People underestimate the difficulty of moving to and adapting well to another culture and way of life. For many, French is a very difficult language to learn to speak and pronounce well. The French tend not to accept those who don't speak fluent French. You must also remember everyone's name at business meetings and social gatherings or you are not seen as polite. To get a job in France, you must speak fluent French at the B3 level. The housing is not always elder friendly. There is no AC in many places in France. There is often not enough heat in winter. France is struggling with its retirement system and how to provide homes for the elderly. Families are encouraged to take care of their elders. The French bureaucracy is tedious, difficult, and slower than in America. The financial system is antiquated. Bank fees are really high. Many places do not take credit cards, so it is necessary to carry lots of cash. It is difficult to get packages as you must go to another location and pay a fee to pick up. Amazon does not deliver to your door. The hours of stores and restaurants in France are different. Cobblestone streets and many steep stairs are a challenge and danger for older people. America is more elder friendly. America is the most gorgeous country in the world. Everything is so convenient. You can get anything you want at virtually anytime. Utilities are reliable. It is easy to get anywhere. Traffic is insane in France as cars do not always look out for pedestrians or other drivers. Like most Americans, my husband and I travel a lot, and have been to France. However, I would miss America after awhile. American citizenship is prized throughout the world. I would never give that up. There is some anti-Americanism. Like people in Scandinavian countries, the French can be cold, aloof, dismissive, and not very talkative and friendly; so that is a challenge for Americans. Due to millions of tourists visiting their countries, many Europeans have grown hostile to tourist overcrowding. There is tremendous wealth in France and other Europe countries that are ruled by old-line, monied aristocracies and monarchies. However, French people do not necessarily value people for the number of degrees, what kind of jobs they have, or how much money they have. French value everyone, as individuals. Americans need to be aware of that.
One question: I heard that as an international student it's very hard to get an apartment as you need an guarantor. How did you do it? What papers did they ask for?
I'm kinda confused between london and paris... I'm a med student and I'm thinking about my career as neurosurgeon in either of them but I'm really confused
There is a French oral exam to gauge the level that someone can speak French since there are certain language requirements depending on the courses and universities (if courses are in English then it doesn’t matter but if they’re in French then a specific level of mastery is required)
Thankyou so much! Your accent is real good for both French and English

How far in advance do you need to look for housing before you move, or how long would it take you typically to find housing?
