Bonjour all!

I'm Jayde, from Australia and a new member on Expat.com. I'm not a blogger however (yet), I just enjoy reading about  people's different experiences!

I'm currently holidaying in Lyon and will return to Australia in March. My boyfiend is French, so of course I'm extremely interested in returning to France later this year to live and work/study!

Has anyone out there been in a similar situation, or in one now? I am unsure whether to come back as a student (can one work on a student visa?) or to try and find a teaching job. International relationships are difficult! Plus I am 31 - some visas have age limits!

Also, does anyone know of any good French classes? My boyfriend just teaches me swear words ;)

Thanks for reading/responding :)

Julien
