Communication with this age group (for anyone over 30) is dicey at best, a language barrier will not help. Let's also consider that many of these post-adolescents will wind up working in retail. Do you really want to have to re-learn all the different types of jeans the GAP sells in French just so you can ask the bored-looking, pissed-off clerk to help you? I fear Starbucks will be an adjustment too. There are aspects of daily life that are annoying enough already, without having someone look down their nose at me because I mispronounce 'croissant'. And can we get a definition of "difficult'? From 18-30 you're supposed to be figuring all your "stuff" out. It's not supposed to be easy. You wil be broke, unless you come from money already. At 34 my financial situation isn't ideal, but I work hard, try to get my bills paid on time and always strive for a better position. Let's hope they aren't under the mistaken idea that everyone in America is a reality TV star making millions for doing nothing. Wonder how many of them will actually speak fluent English?

Give us your unemployed French folks, yearning to get a job and make a living for the betterment of our society. I have only one suggestion. As soon as you get here, please don't start politically agitating to change the US, trying to make it into the kind of system you left behind. Defeats the purpose. Good for us.
