In September 2019 I will fly to the other side of the world to start a placement in France’s language assistant program, which will have me helping out in two high schools in central Marseille. I’ll be working with the English teachers there and helping the kids speak English.
This blog is where I’ll be documenting my life as an English assistant, getting used to a new city, as well as Marseille-specific posts. It’s primarily to enable friends and family in Australia to keep up with what I’m doing during this placement, but also to help other language assistants by sharing useful information for them.
As I write this, there are exactly seven weeks left until I take off. Obviously it’s very exciting but there are still many loose ends to be attended to before leaving. I might do a few “travel preparation” posts – stay tuned!
Seven Months in Marseille 
Hi! Sorry for the random comment but just curious: What lycées will you be in ? I was a primary school assistant for 2 years in Marseille, it’s such a beautiful, interesting city 🙂

Hi Anne! Thank you for your comment – I’ll be going to Montgrand and Rempart. Which schools were you in? I can’t wait to get to know Marseille 🙂

Cool! A really good friend of mine was an assistant at Montgrand and a girl I tutored is a student there ! She had a great experience 🙂
I was in 3 primary schools in the southern quartiers ! I’ll be looking forward to reading about your impressions !
