It will CERTAINLY help you. Language is a tool for effective communication. Communication is successful when the message is conveyed, processed and responded to. If you choose a language that is common- like French, for example, the communication is smooth. Your employers can convey their ideas directly to you, without the need of a translator or loss of time searching for the right vocabulary and jargon.

Bonne chance!!!

I suppose it will. Being able to communicate with your colleagues and senior personnel of the company you are working is always a big plus for me.

Thanks for invitation...

 

that is depending on if company itself outside of France and the main language for company is English then it is up to u to learn.....in another hand, if you are planning to transfer to company which in France or your company itself located at France then you must learn their language..that will help you and company at same time.....

 

in general if companys' main language is France, they will not accept employees who don't know France from first

Hello,

It is common sense to learn to communicate in the language what the colleagues use,

also to learn the most usable language in the company.
