Why learn French?

Learning French offers broad cultural, academic, and professional benefits. As an official language in multiple international bodies like the UN and EU, it opens up career opportunities in diplomacy, international relations, and business. Around 1,500-2,000 vocabulary words are needed for basic conversational fluency. For English speakers, achieving general proficiency could take approximately 600-750 hours. Basic French grammar, including verb conjugations, tenses, and the use of articles (le, la, les), can be learned within a few months. While French grammar can be intricate, mastering it enhances clarity and enables deeper engagement with French-speaking cultures.
