I was wondering, like Africa or south America, are there not parts of India that were French colonies or something, If yes don't the people in those regions speak French? Like the Quebec francophones, we have a small Spanish speaking and very tinier Portuguese speaking population in the Philippines, legacy of the Colonizers, but the population is going down and almost vanishing, unlike the Quebec government there is no political interference to grow or revive that.

AFAIK, very minor in small silver of land called Puducherry with very small population. Will they retain french skills? Nope. Indians retained english skills because it has been unofficial official language of India even after independence.

Many shops have french names in Puducherry. People can understand french a bit, but they cannot speak fluently. My french teacher at school was from Puducherry.

Maybe 0.00000000001% of the people. Reaching CLB7 in French will take two years of dedicated study, not easy at all.

Indians will go to any extent for survival and French is least of their worries. If French test becomes the new normal to crack Canada PR, don't be surprised if Indians crack it easily. I mean thousands of Indians are learning Japanese and German for work visas, so French, a language that looks like English, is not going to stop ’em

I saw my teenage cousins speaking in Korean back in Mumbai for some absurd reason... So I am sure if pushed in corner, Many folks in and around delhi will learn french.

I remember reading in this thread that @dankboi invented the term Lamba here to denote those desperate student workers. I don't remember the Kangaroo is he from Australia?

I have lived in Japan for a few months for work almost 15 years back it is not pleasant working there without speaking in Japanese.

I'm a native french speaker and yeah surely both use latin letters, but god knows how easy is English compared to french. But again with A LOOOT of practice and perseverance, people may reach an acceptable level within a year's time frame.

We parts of Tamil Nadu, India where people actively learn Japanese to work with automobile industry over there. Lots of cooperation with Japanese companies.

finally left Canada after completing 400 days. For good or not, I don't know, but already feeling much much better because I am not under the constant stress of making ends meet. I thought Indian government was the most corrupt and incompetent in the world, I was really wrong, Canada may not be number one but its definitely up there.
What a mismanaged shit show.

Like @GandiBaat mentioned, I come from the Chennai where Japanese automakers have huge presence. My college mates work for these Japanese automakers. Most of them speak some Japanese and they all learnt it quickly. Only reason is survival.

Where have you moved to now?

Where have you moved to now?

Back to family business for now.
Will retreat and decide what to do over the next 3-6 months.
But holy cow, it feels like a weight lifted off the shoulders. I didn't realise how stressful daily life got for me even though everything was seemingly okay.
