Hi,

Any expatriate arriving is faced with the same situation. There is no other possibility than to learn French. It is not up to the country to adapt to the person. But the person to adapt to the country.

Now there are unskilled jobs available. See with "Pôle emploi"

Good morning Saba,

The easiest way to learn French is by downloading DUOLINGO.com & complete the various sections

Once you get a hang of the language then the world is yr oyster !

Depends about your profession ? There are professions in France where speaking only English is not a problem. i/e. in very multicultural metropolitan cities like: Toulouse, Nice or Paris for instance. In Toulouse for instance, there are 60 x different nationalities working in Airbus, both for civil, space  and military ones. And more than 80 x different nationalities are living in the Toulouse metro.
