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!
French lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival French - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying French usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these French classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in French culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in French.

These French lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn French to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners lesson, students can expect to finish the lesson with decent telephone and e-mail French, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
