What Are The Best Foreign Exchange Countries?

I'm invited to participate in a the People to People International Exchange program. I'm black, 17, and I'de like to go to a country where a lot of the people speak their native language as well as fluent english.
I'de also want to go to a place where people are friendly to foreigners also.

Here is a list of the countries. What are pros and cons of each country I could potentially go to?
England, France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Austria, and Switzerland.

Can you guys help me out?
Im so excited!

I'd say definately holland, a huge mixed bag there and everyone i met seemed to know english quite well, plus you can smoke weed legally their! haha

I've met People To People students over here, US young people who were staying near our part of Scotland.

So obviously I'd say "Visit Scotland" !

I haven't seen any US students this year, unfortunately, they seem to have dropped our little town from their itinerary.

Have to say, though, the kids were constantly disciplined by their group leaders, one incident we observed was just horrible to watch (to my European eyes, anyway). I guess learning about other cultures is a two way street, huh ?
