Did you know that French is an official language in 29 countries, like Luxembourg, Switzerland, Congo, Mali, and Senegal? Spoken on every continent, knowledge of French can open up opportunities, both internationally and locally. Sign up for a course with Listen & Learn and soon you’ll be able to identify similar English and French words from the false friends. For example, you’ll learn that ”confidence” means a private or secret matter in French. Quite different from English, right? Our lessons are completely tailored to your needs, so you can learn the skills that you require and the topics that interest you in a fun, efficient and fast way. And if you are lacking the motivation to learn French, you should consider that, as an English speaker, you will likely improve at a faster rate than most. This is because many English words are borrowed from French, like “deja-vu” or “liaison,” so you already have a head start.
And while we always advise supplementing any course with real-world practice, you won’t even have to leave San Francisco to do so: with over 20,000 French speakers living in the city, you will never run out of opportunities to put your skills into play while making new friends and acquaintances. For example, you can attend the meetings of language exchange groups, like French for Fun, and sharpen your foreign language skills in a safe, friendly environment.
Contact Listen & Learn to start with French lessons in San Francisco and you’ll be fluent in no time! You’ll even start greeting your new friends with informal expressions, like “Ça baigne” (how are you doing?), so you sound like a native speaker.
These French lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival French by the end of their lesson, which will provide them with enough French to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of French culture and those who just wish to pass a particular French exam.

These lessons in French are meant for those that feel that learning French would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even on our most fundamental beginner's lesson, students can anticipate ending the lesson with basic telephone French and e-mail French skills for communicating, as well as survival French if a short visit to the country is needed.
