On the Language Skills of Military Professionals or French Scores!Nonreviewed - Other

Mgr. Yvona Vrchlabská, Ph.D., Mgr. Jana Jadrná, Mgr. Hana Jarošová

There are many reasons to start learning French. With the involvement of our professionals in missions in Mali, it has also become desirable to improve their language skills before their departure. We interviewed those who attended the language courses at the Language Centre of the University of Defence. They confirm that the knowledge of English is not always sufficient. This interview can be inspiring for those who are going to fulfil their duties in the missions in the African continent. We also present statistical data related to the number of French-speaking Czech soldiers and some tips how to maintain the level of French after completing a course.

Keywords: Military Education, Language Training, French Language, Missions Abroad.
