Yeah,I'm bilingual (french/english) and soon multilingual (+ Russian / Spanish) and I want to live in Texas (from France).But I'm curious, to find a work as a multilingual guy (pretty advantageous I guess), what cities are the best in this case ?
I guess it's rather in tourism cities or in the international trade.

Texas = Espanol.

Florida (Miami) = Espanol

I think you'll do fine in any large cosmopolitan city with large language influences and a job market for multi-linguists.

I guess, I love Miami (and miami girls ), to work some years there before my business creation in Houston would be a great experience.

It's an advantage in the US to speak 4 languages ? What kind of jobs are possible ?

For French/English the best place to find a job is Canada. the whole country. Many government jobs are reserved only for fluently bilingual people who make up some small fraction of the population. And no, I am not just talking about Quebec.

If you speak French and English in Canada you automatically knock yourself up a tax bracket

There's no one city in the US where either French or Russian in particular is a desired skillset. Being bilingual in Spanish would open up a lot of doors in California and Texas and the whole border region (and beyond), and Chinese would also be very useful, particularly in LA or San Francisco. But there are probably some American companies that do a lot of business in French and/or Russian speaking countries (or foreign companies that have a big presence in the US), so you'll have to do your own research on and target them directly.

Sorry I forgot, and Las Vegas too......

And about Canada, yeah it's a beautiful country but I'm not interested, I love the USA ! And the weather is better in the south of the US

And I know Russian and French aren't primary languages in the US, but I guess it's interesting for some businesses because apparently it's not very spoken among americans, particularly Russian, and Russia becomes more interesting for american investors, and more russians invests in the US, and more tourists go there (Miami is the hot spot).
