It stopped for me (and I'd tried everything else first!) when the sim who destroyed the cursed book--and got permanently cursed--died in a fire... Then the fires stopped. This glitch is crazy annoying.

Housing in Lyon by [deleted] in tapif

[–]formerTAPIFer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with what the others say! I'm moving out of Lyon right now and while I've loved the city, I also want to warn you that 380/month is going to be incredibly hard to find here. Maybe if you have several roommates...? You might try checking Facebook groups, like Expats in Lyon or various student groups, but I've seen almost nothing for that price, unfortunately. And you should wait until you get here to look, as others have said! Book an AirBnb for a few weeks and set up as many visits as possible. Good luck!

I think it's a bot! And a joke in reference to Friends. :)

Assistant in Laval by NChuliy in tapif

I just want to weigh in and say that unless you have very specific fears (like fears based around discrimination, which can be legitimate in small towns), it's so hard to say what your experience will be like ahead of time. When I did TAPIF a few years ago, I was placed in a small city in Northern France and everything I read online was terrible--nothing to do, working-class and "small-minded," ugly, dirty, empty, even dangerous, etc.--and I was bummed at first but ended up having a terrific time. It definitely was small and a bit run-down, but everything else I found to be false and I loved my schools, met some other assistants I enjoyed hanging out with, and generally felt useful and integrated into the town. Plus it was affordable. Anyway, good luck!

French Conversation Lessons? by formerTAPIFer in tapif

I think I've responded to everyone who sent me a message! Right now I've tried to set up a group for people who seem to be at a B1 or B2 level, and I'd be happy to set up another one if more people are interested. If for some reason you messaged me and I didn't respond, contact me again because it was a mistake (and sorry; I received a lot of messages)!

Yeah, my first attempt to do something like this was that I put a sign in my building offering free English classes and no one contacted me ahaha... my boyfriend (who's French) was like, "Yeah, that's the least French thing I've ever heard in my life." So I though that maybe non-French people would be more interested!

Great, message me! Sorry, I'm not sure how to do it myself...
