What will you learn?

Our objective is to help you develop communicative competence and proficiency in comprehension, speaking, reading, writing French and cultural awareness.

What will you do?

Did you know that French is the second most frequently taught language in the world after English and that French and English are the only two global languages?

French is the only language other than English spoken on five continents. The International Organization of Francophonie has 51 member states and governments. Of these, 28 countries have French as an official language.

With that kind of global reach, French is useful for business, diplomacy, and education.
