Bonjour ! I am a Malaysian and I would like to work in France, specifically Lyon/Saint-Etienne for long-term. I am a bachelor degree holder (Early Childhood Care and Education) from Ireland, currently working in one of the international schools in Malaysia as a teaching assistant. I speak English, Malay and Chinese fluently. I just started to learn French few months ago. The main reason for me to consider working in France is because I have a French boyfriend living near to Lyon.

I hope I can get some advices for guidelines to look for a job, minimum level of French required in order to work in France etc. I would like to work in the field that is relating to children for example teacher assistant, second language teacher or after school activities teacher.

Thank you so much

Yes, I do realize it was an old post dated in 2016, I was hoping the user is still active and able to give me some info or simply share with me he experience.
