I definately vote France. You will have an opportunity to show the French that not all American are "stupid Americans", and you'll also learn that not all french people hate Americans. One of my best friends in the world in French, and we met in college when she came to the US as an exchange student.

Well, I would have to say Sweden. Although, I have never been, it is most appealing to me. It has such history, and then there is modern Sweden with all of the design and such. AND the Swedish language is by far the easiest language I have ever seen. Like, here we have 'am', 'is' and 'are' as state of being verbs, they just use 'år' for everything. Its awesome. Penna = pen. Mig = me. (Pronounced Mey) So you see when I mean with the similarities. But, your question does depend on what degree you are going for. And I am assuming your a Jr in college, not high school. haha. Oh, and if you choose Sweden, or want to learn a bit more language to help you decide, go here, http://www.onlineswedish.com/main.php , Björn rocks! :D

Please do not listen to people that truly do not know what they are talking about. Paris may not treat many Americans well from time to time but in truth they do not treat french people well if they are not from Paris as well. I do a lot of business in France and Switzerland and except for two times in Paris I have always been treated extremely well. I do not speak French but try and they like that you at least try. France is full of culture and the place to be for good food in Europe so you would not be disappointed. As well you could literally go into Switzerland by train for the weekend if you wanted to. Ireland is beautiful and friendly but limited as to what you could do.

Jenny, I'm French and I want to give you an advice : don't listen the anti-french propaganda developped by your government. The French don't hate Americans ! Believe me. They just disagree with the US foreign policy, that's all. They'll treat you as an individual, with respect if you respect them. Just an argument for convice you of going to France : to become fluent in an other language than yours. Think about the benefits in the future !!! You're welcome in France. (sorry for my poor english...)
