"So, you have been to Germany?" - a young man asked. - "Yes, I spent a whole year there,"- answered a good-looking girl taking out some money to buy a bus ticket."Remember, it was my dream to go somewhere abroad and improve my German as well as to get acquainted with another culture. Finally, I realised that idea. I was so happy." - "I'm so glad for you. It seems to be realty amazing. How did you manage to go there?"- the young man wanted to know. - "It is a cultural exchange program, called Au Pair."- "Au Pair? I heard about it, but considered it to be difficult to realise. Nevertheless, if you did it, why can't I?" was the reply, from the young man who was ready to leave the bus. And the lady almost shouted to the man getting off: "I am sure you will succeed. Good luck!"

A student exchange program is a program in which a student chooses to live in a foreign country to learn language and culture. These programs are called 'exchanges' because originally the goal was an exchange of students between different countries. Student exchanges became popular after World War II, and have the aim of helping to increase the participants' understanding and tolerance of other cultures, as well as improving their language skills and broadening their social horizons.

Au Pair is one of the cultural exchange programs that enables young men and women to visit a foreign country, stay there in a family, and take part (приймати участь) in everyday life. The main purpose of the program is to assist families from the receiving countries to solve their problems with babysitting, while providing an opportunity for young people to travel abroad.

Anybody aged 17 to 26 can participate in the program. An au pair should have a good knowledge of the language of the country he/she is going to. Usually, au pairs go to a foreign country for a period of 3 to 12 months. As a rule, if the program is for a year, it will be timed to coincide with the start of the academic year.

The main duty of an au pair is taking care of children (dressing, feeding, playing with them, etc.). In addition, he/she may be asked to perform other day-to-day duties in a host family's household (shopping, dusting, etc.). However, au pairs should not be required to do heavy-dutychores. In general, an au pairworks30-45 hours per week.

All au pairs shall have an opportunity to attend language courses. In such a case, the host family is to pay for an au pair's transportation to and from the place of classes and tuition expense.

Of course, free time is the biggest attractions of the program for an au pair. He/she can go out, meet new people, make friends and have fun. By the contract an au pair shall be granted at least one full day off per week and one-week paid vacation for each six-month period of his/her stay. It is advisable that you plan ahead where and what you will do during your holidays. A host family also has some responsibilities. For example, they (family) shall provide room and board as well as pocket money.
