@Lisa365 Hi Lisa聽 聽I live in Nissan lez Enserune which is 10 kms from Beziers.聽 There are a lot of English people here and many of the locals speak some English including the nice man who runs the Caf茅 de Commerce.聽 There are a group of English who are best to avoid.聽 However if you move here I would be happy to help you settle in.聽 My French is fluent.聽 Chris Ward

I've lived in central B茅ziers with my wife since early 2022 and we would never live anywhere else now. In just a short time we have made many new French friends and also a lot of English speaking buddies, mostly expats from the US, UK, Australia and so on.


Although it's great to be able to integrate with your local French community, I can understand why you might also want to make English speaking friends too.


My wife speaks very good French but mine is still quite poor. Therefore, I have been attending French language classes.聽 In addition to improving my French, I've found that classes like this are also a great way to make new anglophone friends who are in the same boat.


Hope that's useful.

Sometimes its nice to have your native language nearby.

Hi there,

Thinking of Beziers as a permanent move.

I know a lot of France,聽 Been Montpellier twice and in 2022 we visited Beziers from there on the train.

My French is reasonable, once v good.聽 My partner is learning.

Job opportunities and feasibility these days ?

We're thinking of moving over to 'retire' next couple of years, though won't be retiring in the English conventional sense - will still want to work part-time/volunteer...聽

@vsam well I have moved to America without speaking English and learning English in America connected to the spirit of American people helped me not just speak English but understand what they meant when they said, mentality of people comes with the spirit of people.

now I am in France and enjoying the spirit of France and absolutely I will learn the language by blending into French culture but to begin with my journey I need to have people who I understand now!!!

it is called human integration process to know more than just a language!!!

just some tips that it鈥檚 not about judgement it鈥檚 about differences and uniqueness of everyone individually!!!
