Why Learn French In France?
May 28, 2008 by admin
In our multi-lingual society, the importance of language learning has never been so great. The English teaching system has often received criticism of the way it approaches the subject of languages. Very few people would describe themselves as proficient or fluent after studying for many years whilst at school.
Learning French in France provides a completely different experience to the one that is experienced by most through the English education system. Firstly, a focus is put on developing a base – a core upon which your language learning can build. Secondly, the mere fact that you are immersed and surrounded by the language and the culture helps to facilitate the development and conceptual understanding of the French language. In addition to this, the French seem to concentrate also on developing a persons understanding of the French language, and by knowing why something is as it is, the student is less likely to forget what they have learned.
There are numerous options available to deal with how to go about learning French in France. Some people decide to learn through their own organisation; others choose to use an organisation which will source out the necessary resources for them, registering them onto a course and providing accommodation. The key is to ensure that you attend a good quality language school, which prides itself on the level of its teachings and practice. The difference this can make is phenomenal.
Many centres provide French Language Courses for foreign students. Apprendre (http://www.apprendre.co.uk/), is one example of an organisation which arranges and helps to facilitate your learning in France. The use of such organisations helps to break down the traditional barriers, thus providing a platform for you to learn.
Learning French is definitely now becoming an attractive option for many people. It’s increasing importance both in business and commerce, and as an official legal language of the European Union has further the importance of the case for good language teaching.

cab driver's a good suggestion. personally, I think a crash course in French would help you, pay to be taught what you'll need to know to survive in France throughout a set of short lessons. il sera tres utile! j'aime bien la langue française, c'est interessant.

It depends on what part of France you will be relocating to!
If you are going to be in Paris or one of the larger cities, there are many opportunities for you. I agree that the best jobs to learn French are the ones exposing you to the public like Tourist guides or restaurants. There are many very good language schools and many English speaking people in France so you won't be lost. Contrary to what you may have heard, the French won't be hostile to you if they see that you are trying to learn the Language. Like here in the US, and most Countries,people get offended when foreigners EXPECT that you should speak their language but make no efforts to learn your language in your Country.
