Today, French is considered one of the languages of international communication. With more than 220 million people speaking French on all the five continents, it is the sixth-most widely spoken language in the world. And did you know it is also the most common source for borrowed words in English? This started a thousand years ago with the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. During and after William the Conqueror’s rule, thousands of French words like state, rendezvous or diplomacy entered English as French became the official language of the church and the upper classes. So, if you start learning French with us at Listen & Learn, you’ll very quickly discover the hundreds of words that are already familiar to you. In fact, we’re betting you already know a lot more French than you think you do!
Practicing outside of class what you learn in your lessons is also essential to master a language. Luckily, you can find more than 185,000 French speakers living in New York, meaning you’ll have plenty of opportunities to practice with other learners or native speakers and gain confidence when using the language in the real world. For instance, you can join the weekly meetings of French New York City Meetup and put your new skills to use while having a good time. Further, New York City celebrates the French Cinema Week every September, where you can find classic and contemporary movies screened in their original language. Learn French and enhance the experience! You won’t just be able to understand the movies without needing the subtitles, but also the cultural references as well.
So, reach out to us at Listen & Learn and join the worldwide community of millions of French speakers! Soon, you’ll be watching French movies starring amazing actors, like Alain Delon or Juliette Binoche, and understanding everything they are saying!
These French lessons are more general in nature and are targeted at students with a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival French - required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population, students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, French culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular French examination.
