hey im from the Uk and am thinking of getting a job in france. The job has a english language in the office policy since its multi national. but i have concerns about what it would be like living in france since i dont know how to speak or read french. so im basicly just wondering if english is well known in france so that at least i wouldnt be totaly helpless when i first arrive until i learn enough. just little things like going down to a shop would be a worry to me until learned enough french
thanx for any replys |

I think it depend on the city. For exemple, if you go to Paris, it would be more easy for you to find someone understanding english than in Strasbourg for exemple where more people speak German instead of english because of the proximity of Germany ;)
But don't worry, when I was 11, I left France to go to Germany whithout knowing any words of german and after 2 weeks it was ok, I was able to understand and to speak the minimum to survive :D
ps : sorry for my bad english :toothless |

Hi and Welcome in us country ;)
I think you have to learn some french sentences, because depending on the town where you will work asking for bread in english will not be understood everywhere in France.... |

C'est pas pour dire mais... je suis sûr que même à Paris c'est pas gagné. :nervous:
J'ai fait quelques connaissances récemment, de personnes relativement jeunes, et 2 disaient ne pas savoir 1 mot d'anglais (âges: 21 et 28).
Et ce n'étaient pas des incultes, loin de là. :conf: |
