People who work as dads at language schools (France edition)

This is a column that shares information about effective father activities at overseas language schools.Last time, we introduced an American who is based in a stylish resort house in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico's "best city in the world".This time, we will take up an Arab man from Abu Dhabi who was quietly living as a dad in the ancient city of Besançon in France.

《The stage of the missing female student incident at the University of Tsukuba》

Many of you may remember the incident in which a female student at the University of Tsukuba suddenly disappeared in 2016, and the Chilean she was dating at the time was placed on the international wanted list on suspicion of murder.The last confirmed survival was in the student dormitory of the University of Franche-Comté.And the university's French language education center, CLA, is one of the world's leading language schools.

Every summer, hundreds of students from all over the world come to study French at the traditional CLA, founded in 1958.Most of them are European university students who are also on summer vacation, but it is also common to see office workers transferred to the French branch office and hotel employees dispatched for language training.I met Mr. Abu Dhabi during CLA one summer.

《Differences between language schools in tourist spots and CLA》

As I mentioned in the Mexico edition, language schools in tourist areas are small and cozy, creating an atmosphere where everyone in the class naturally gets along.On the other hand, CLA is so large that there is no sense of unity across the school.French universities graduate in early summer and start new students in autumn.During the summer vacation, student dormitories for one academic year are vacant and open to language schools.A large number of young students gather here because cheap and long-term accommodation is available.Working people don't live in student dormitories, they rent apartments in the city.

When there are many students, the behavior is not for each class but for each generation, and the places where they live are physically separated, so the situation where middle-aged and elderly players and young women naturally get to know each other will drastically decrease.How do you think Mr. Abu Dhabi was living as a father in such a situation?

《The target is a temporary teacher》

To write the conclusion first, he aimed at a temporary teacher at a language school.

The season for fishing in the Amazon river is the dry season, and when the water level increases in the rainy season, the fish are scattered all over the place, and you can't drop the bait in front of you.The same is true for language school Papa-katsu. Language schools in tourist areas have a high hit rate because they are concentrated in a small number of classes, so to speak, the Amazon River during the dry season, and the area is fascinated by the area.On the other hand, the huge CLA is the Amazon River in the rainy season, and there are too many students, and it is very difficult to find a target for daddy activity among ordinary women.

But it has a purpose. In order to keep up with the surge in demand for language teachers in the summer, CLA recruits temporary teachers from various parts of France.A young woman who chooses a low-paying temporary teacher rather than a vacation is likely to be a target for daddy activities because "money is more than boyfriend" and "life is more than play".Mr. Abu Dhabi, her eyes are in common with Mr. Nainai Okamura, who was in flames with "prostitutes who are increasing in corona misfortune".

Temporary teachers have their hits and misses, and when I lose my homeroom teacher, I'm afraid that my dad life will be unsuccessful, but that's okay.The registration days for the summer classes are actually about two days, and in order to handle a large number of students who come during that time, classes are decided by Eiya based on conversations at the reception.It is absolutely impossible to perfectly match language ability and class level, so if you feel that the first class is too difficult to keep up with or is too kind, you can offer to change to another class.Of course, absolute beginners only have the lowest level, so they can't change it, and it's an option only allowed for intermediate and above.Mr. Abu Dhabi, who lives in France, was able to speak reasonably well, so he was in a position to choose a class (homeroom teacher).

"Abu Dhabi's Approach"

Mr. Abu Dhabi, probably in his 40s, slightly short of 170cm tall and square-shaped, with a square-shaped face with rounded corners, and wearing glasses made of resin with black rims.He is soft-spoken and soft-spoken.It's a type that looks good when you hold a long-haired cat on your lap.He never misses class, and although he doesn't actively participate, he always makes remarks that bring the whole class together.

I participate in extracurricular events, which are standard at language schools in the summer, as inconspicuously as I do in class.I often saw him talking to the petite French woman who was in charge of my class, and I thought he might like it.Then, at the end of July, I saw an intimate biz (light French kiss) at a cafe near his hotel, and I was taken aback.

Of course, it can be interpreted as a love affair that transcends age (and looks) disparity, but since it transcends disparity in economic power, it's a dad activity.

《What Texas and Abu Dhabi have in common》

The active Texas and the quiet Abu Dhabi are of different races and looks, but they have one clear commonality.I got along well with everyone in my class.For example, in Texas, since the party was self-financed, I should have invited only people close to me, but I would go around to the next class and say hello to each and every visitor.

Abu Dhabi also has an episode.In my intermediate class, we used songs as a way to practice how to make French sound beautiful.Naturally, we decided to listen to each other's country's music on our mobile devices, and Mr. Abu Dhabi always praised every song.When I played Miyuki Nakajima's "Utahime" that I happened to be listening to, she said, "Your voice is so beautiful."It feels really natural too.

The combination of middle-aged men and young women stands out.This is the same overseas.Even so, the class naturally accepts him because he is someone who normally treats everyone with an indiscriminate attitude.A man who has the attitude and economic power to treat everyone equally will attract the opposite sex even when he is middle-aged or older.Papa Katsu is a language school that provides such men with a place where they can naturally meet young women.

This is the end of "Language School Papa Live France Edition".Next, I will write the "Failure Edition".
