Many young college graduates join International Organizations like the Peace Corps every year to volunteer in impoverished countries around the world. They often get sent to French speaking countries in Africa & Polynesia where they teach the local population to properly irrigate & farm their land, some basic health & sanitation techniques so they don't get deadly diseases and also, help the population start small businesses which increase trade, which in turn helps their economy and enhances their quality of life. Write a short essay in English to potential volunteers to let them know the many great benefits that learning another language can have for them and those contemplating a career in the Peace Corps. Tell them the advantages of knowing French while serving in these francophone countries. You can also tell them about what to expect from taking a French class and share experiences that have made you want to study French.
