Is it worthwhile to learn French?    

The French language is a Romance language of the Indo-European family. It descended from the Vulgar Latin of the Roman Empire, as did all Romance languages. French evolved from Gallo-Romance, the Latin spoken in Gaul, and more specifically in Northern Gaul. Its closest relatives are the other languages d’oïl—languages historically spoken in northern France and in southern Belgium, which French (Francien) largely supplanted. French was also influenced by native Celtic languages of Northern Roman Gaul like Gallia Belgica and by the Frankish language of the post-Roman Frankish invaders. Today, owing to France’s past overseas expansion, there are numerous French-based creole languages, most notably Haitian Creole. A French-speaking person or nation may be referred to as Francophone in both English and French.

Flight attendant 

Flight attendants work on the airlines and ensure the comfort and safety of passengers during the flight. They conduct safety checks, assist and give instructions to passengers, prepare and serve food and drinks, monitor and manage the flight, cooperate with fellow workers, give special attention to specially-abled people, and prepare and submit reports related to any flight incident to the authorities. As a flight attendant’s job is purely communication-based, knowledge of a foreign language like French makes them suitable for jobs both in domestic and international flights.

Tour guide 

A tour guide accompanies domestic or international visitors to historic sites, tourist attractions, and other parts of a place on a single day or long tour. They help visitors find the right stay, get the best food, explore local markets, eateries, get best budget deals, meet new people, and give them important information and insights about the place to help them fulfil their purpose of travelling. Knowledge of multiple languages is an in-demand skill for tour guides as their profession requires meeting and communicating with tourists from all over the world.

Translator or interpreter –

Translators usually work in 2 or more languages and express written documents like newsletters, articles, press releases, textbooks, and instruction manuals from one language to another. An interpreter’s job is similar to a translator. They are most commonly required in courtrooms or conferences where they decode one spoken language into another.
