Home Stay

Basically, we have an international student program at school. Most stay in the dorms on-campus. On vacations, some will stay because flights are expensive and traveling across the world and back takes up a lot of time for them. They’ll find temporary homes to spend their vacations with. Id love to do it, and my parents are willing, but as I’m female and my guest would be female, is it okay to have an older brother (he’s two years older)? Is that allowed? I know my brother wanted to have a female friend from the dorms stay with us over vacation, but they were very hesitant and worked something else out…

I have a friend who teaches at the local community college. The dorms there close during holidays. They have hosted several international students, both male and female. They have 2 teenage boys of their own. It hasn’t a problem. (It also hasn’t been a problem with the 2 long-term female exchange students they have hosted.)
Chances are that the relationship between your brother and the female student had more to do with the decision to house that student. If the student is a stranger and there is no prior relationship, your parents will likely be more comfortable.

And school has just finished for the week so I can’t ask my French teachers what it means. I would be so grateful if someone could just give me the general gist of it. I would wait until Monday to ask my teachers but I get the impression that it is urgent?

Comment allez vous?bien j espere juste vous informer que j ai une affaire de transaction bénéfique pour nous deux a vous faire part.

Dieu vous bénisse

Thank you so much =)
It turns out that that was sent to my Dad’s email and seeing as he doesn’t understand French he just sent it on to me… I’m really relieved that it isn’t my homestay family and thank you all for answering! =)

It says:
How are you? Good, I hope. I just wanted to let you know that I have a business transaction that will be good for both of us.
I am counting on your availability and goodwill. I’m expecting a quick response. God bless you.

This doesn’t sound like a message from the family. It’s all written in the polite form ‘vous’.
