Subject: Dream to settle in France. Question: Hi, I am a single mother of two living in northern VA. I teach English to speakers of other languages. I am fluent in French, because I was an English professor for the peace corps in a French-speaking country in Africa (and then I married a host country national...) my dream is to be able to go to France, land a teaching job, and settle down there. I’d do anything to work toward this. But I keep hearing that I have to have an EU passport. I know I am setting a very high goal here, but I loved my visit to France (especially the south). I love the language and the lifestyle. I’ve lived in other countries, but France is where I’ve always dreamed of ending up. I repeat, I am a single mother of two. Is there any hope for me? Answer: Let me give you the bad and the good as I see it. Good. The fact that you speak French puts you one up on a lot of people and in the south of France there is a large English speaking community that might make it easier on you and your kids. Also the fact you are a teacher and are native English speaker means you would have a better chance of finding work teaching English than most other people and teaching English is one of the places where not being French is not a handicap. There is hope if you have plenty of, money, energy and willpower. Otherwise it would be very, very hard. Let me know if you have any other questions.
