What the college says

Learning a second language not only has cognitive and academic benefits, it is also supports a greater sense of openness to - and appreciation for - other cultures. French is an analytical language that structures thought and develops critical thinking, which is a valuable skill for discussions and negotiations. More than 220 million people speak French on the five continents and the ability to speak French and English is an advantage on the international job market. Studying French will allow you to have a greater appreciation of French cultural contributions; it will enable you to have a better understanding of your native vocabulary and will certainly broaden your travel experiences. As the working world rapidly progresses and becomes more globalised, knowing a language is a necessity, it will make you more employable. You will develop the ability to comprehend French in a range of contexts and to communicate readily in the target language for a variety of purposes. You will acquire a useful knowledge of and insights into French- speaking cultures, contemporary and historic as well as valuable skills for foreign travel, further education and employment. To help you learn, you will have the opportunity to practise your spoken French individually every week with our French assistant.
