What is the best job to have in France to learn French quickly?

January 31, 2009 by admin 

I am a beginner in French and am relocating over there

I need to learn the language VERY quickly and I will be attending language school

What is best part time job ( i will do anything ) I could do that would allow me to learn the language quickly and more importantly I could get fairly easily no speaking the language

Please no McDonalds answers please THANKS

It depends on what part of France you will be relocating to!
If you are going to be in Paris or one of the larger cities, there are many opportunities for you. I agree that the best jobs to learn French are the ones exposing you to the public like Tourist guides or restaurants. There are many very good language schools and many English speaking people in France so you won't be lost. Contrary to what you may have heard, the French won't be hostile to you if they see that you are trying to learn the Language. Like here in the US, and most Countries,people get offended when foreigners EXPECT that you should speak their language but make no efforts to learn your language in your Country.

    cab driver's a good suggestion. personally, I think a crash course in French would help you, pay to be taught what you'll need to know to survive in France throughout a set of short lessons. il sera tres utile! j'aime bien la langue française, c'est interessant.
