Hi everyone,

It is widely agreed that speaking French is essential for a successful integration in Martinique. Do you agree? Share your experience!

Do you speak French? If so, where did you learn this language? Where can one attend a language course in Martinique?

If not, how do you cope with daily activities? Is it easy to communicate in a different language with Martinicans?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Priscilla

Dear Priscilla,

well with all my experience (and also at "home" expectations towards other visitors and expats alike...)
It is more than just a sign of respect towards your guest country, most of all you help yourself speaking the local language - in all respect whether it be shopping / informational requests / dealing with official matters and also social,... Unless your speak the language at least in basic terms, it is very hard to become familiar and feel at ease.
