In France : comment est ton Francais ??
Without speaking french , as close to impossible as you can get .
More generally you have the licence problem (like me ) .Depending on the types flown you might be able to get a validation (1 year ) if an operator wants to employ you on a specific type you are rated on . Otherwise (and anyway after 1 year ) : 14 exams ...to get your JAR (or EASA now ??) plus flight test ...
There's also a few N-registered airplanes lurking around if you can find contacts (hard I guess ) .
good luck
