Jobs Using French (or other languages)

By Laura K. Lawless, About.com Guide

If you speak more than one language and you love to travel, working in the travel industry might be just the thing for you.

Flight attendants, sometimes called stewards/stewardesses, are the folks that take care of you while you're on a plane. Speaking several languages is a definite asset, particularly when making international flights.

Pilots are the men and women who fly the plane. They have to communicate with ground control, flight attendants, and possibly even passengers, so for international flights, foreign language ability is a plus.

Tour guides work in museums, monuments, and other touristed places as well as in companies that offer package tours like scenic bus and boat rides, hiking trips, etc.

In addition, there is the closely related hospitality industry, which includes working in places like restaurants, hotels, camps, and ski resorts overseas.
