What will the HF ask me?

¿Qué me preguntará la host family?

Como todos sabemos, en la entrevista ponemos en juego nuestro desenvolvimiento no sólo para entrevistas regulares, sino que esta vez también en otro idioma. Para au pairs que se están preparando para el tan ansiado momento, les dejamos una lista de posibles preguntas para que puedan practicar con amigos, familias o hasta grabarse sus respuestas para escucharlas y poner en práctica la pronunciación.
