How can I work in France without any french experience?

Question

Is there anyway I can go work/live in France without having any knowledge of the French language. I was hoping I could go there, live for awhile (work etc), and pickup the language. Is there anyway I can do this? What are the steps?

I have a friend that lives there that I could live with for at least the first few months. Eventually I might need to move.

Answer 1

You could probably go there and teach English, but you'll need an ESOL qualification. Most other things require some knowledge of French.

Answer 2

Oh my!

It will be VERY difficult for you.

I lived in Paris for 6 years.. just moved out from there.

First you need working permission to work, then also French people do not speak English... I mean a few ppl and also with a very big French accent ha-ha.

It is just difficult, as you need papers to work...

Good luck, if any question, you can e-mail me.

Answer 3

anything that doesnt rely on much communication such as physical/menial jobs... avoid being a doctor or you might confuse the patient and end up with unforgettable results

i guess living there should be fine

and meanwhile, start learning the language.
