Re: British names
I like/love*:Jamie, Gus -both are cute, but I don't think they go together at all
Charlotte***, Francesca*** and Arabella* -adore the 3 names, what a wonderful sib set!! :-D
Violet***, Alice*, Eliza, Charles*** and Hugo* - another great sib set, imo! I adore Violet and Charles, Hugo and Alice are lovely, and Eliza is very nice too.
Lola -cute And, that's off topic but, about this au-pair thing, have you ever done it? I've been thinking on trying it, so I could improve my English and have a different summer, but I'm not sure. I'm just 17 and this could be handicap, but anyway I'd love to do it! And I love kids.

A few of my ESL (english as a second language) students have done it.....And its difficult. Especially if you get stuck with a bad family, so think long and hard first!Siri

I haven't done it. I'd love to live abroad, and there aren't many ways to do that.
I'm not sure if I'm au-pair material though.

Thank you!
I want to study Translation (don't know if that's what you call these studies) and so I need to LEARN English, not what we do at school. I've been searching for some summer courses but they're way too expensive. I've tried with some fellowships too, but it's very difficult (very limited posts). BUT!, my mother talked to a women she knows some days ago. She has a daughter that's about 7yo, and the mother wants a British girl to come here for two weeks and take care of her daughter, talking to her in English. The thing is, she needs to do an exchange, and I could be the one exchanged, going there tot possibly take care of some kid. So, maybe there's still some possibility!
Hope this makes sense! :-/

That's cool, I wish I had connections too.
The workpossabilities ARE limited, I haven't got a drivings lisence (Shock! Horror!), so it leaves maybe 30 % jobs that I can apply for.
