Apart from this, one can also work as a translator or interpreter with any international organisations in India, NGOs, MNCs or the Alliance Francaise network. The classes are also a great opportunity to immerse oneself in French culture, read books, enjoy films and music. Similarly, learning the French language is also helpful to study in France, work within the tourism sector or in running a business.
