Start taking a French class, you can start by watching videos on YouTube.

Then make friends with those who speak French.

Learning a language as an adult is not going to be all that easy.

Your wife told you the truth, there are no jobs for non French Speakers in France except you want to be a mere Construction or farm Labourer, Cleaner or Dish washer etc.

Apologies for my harsh words, but that's the reality, if you want to succeed in France you must learn french to C1 Level, but there is a short cut.

Got to Togo and enroll in Institut Français, if you're determined, within 3 months you will achieve Intermediate level because you won't see anyone to speak English with in Togo cool cool cool

Thanks for being blunt.
I will look into that. It's just that I am not good at learning new languages. I was in Gambia for four years. I can't speak their local language.

Thanks anyways

You're welcome, and guess what!!!

If you can learn french before moving to France then you will have so many opportunities not just in France but in other Top EU countries like Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg etc, Being Billingual is a big asset in the EU.

I'm moving to Togo too in May to perfect my France to advance level, I can only speak basic.

Bon Chance cool cool cool
