English or French?

I need help ! 


My English are not so good... and French, I can hardly.


What language should I focus on? Should I do both?


 


Thank you,


Michelle

The short answer is yes.


English is the lingua franca or working language of international businesses these days, so there is no getting around it, but learning some French is almost necessary here in Romandie. Your English is not that bad, so I'd start with French classes (some are online and free, but find a language exchange group, too) and later catch up with English, perhaps with certification from places such as Cambridge Institute or similar places.

"My english isn't very good" would be more easily understood.
