What kind of jobs can I look forward to by learning french?
Q. Im in French 2 at my school and it doesn't seem that hard but Im 100% sure that I still need to take more French classes.I say that because my school doesn't have a very good French teacher and doesn't offer French 3. What can I do for my senior year and after highschool to learn French? And what kind of job opportunities can I expect from doing so?

A. I don't know, right in France we don't have many jobs because of our economy. Plus, French schools teach English to us when we start grade school. Most of us know basic English by the time we finish school, so translator or lesion wouldn't be good for you. Hopefully when you graduate college the economy will be booming and more international jobs will be open. It's always nice that people are taking interest in French, but be careful about calling it easy. French grammar even confuses us! haha You could become an English teacher in French speaking countries. =) Every country needs teachers.

How much of a French population smokes cigarettes?
Q. Every time I see a French person, I see a cigarette in their hand. How common is it for French people to smoke cigarettes?
Asked by Om... - Sat Aug 15 15:51:47 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yes I would have said about 30%, more if you count people who like to smoke cannabis once a while. There are less and less smokers now cause cigarettes are expensive. 30% is still a lot, but it was about 50% some years ago (like in the 70's). But a lot of young people smoke (50%) at school and then stop when they are older. I used to smoke myself when I was 12. I stopped at 16. I sometimes have the same feeling than you, cause most of my friends are smokers ( more than 90%).

Quotes regarding French people

Sourced

  • The reason why all of us naturally began to live in France is because France has scientific methods, machines and electricity, but does not really believe that these things have anything to do with the real business of living.
  • Propaganda is not French, it is not civilized to want other people to believe what you believe because the essence of being civilised is to possess yourself as you are, and if you possess yourself as you are you of course cannot possess any one else, it is not your business.
  • Honour to the French!—They have taken good care of the two greatest needs of human society — of good eating and citizenly equality; they have made the greatest advances in cookery and in freedom..."

Unsourced

  • I like Frenchmen very much, because even when they insult you they do it so nicely.
    • Josephine Baker
  • In France everything is a matter for jest. People make quips about the scaffold, about Napoleon's defeat on the banks of The Beresina, and about the barricades of our revolutions. So, at the assizes of the Last Judgment, there will always be a Frenchmen to crack a joke.
