We all have a good reason for studying French:  a job opportunity? a career path? Or maybe a romantic date or simply just to please ourselves with no ulterior motives.

Find each week a new good reason to learn the French language.

A language for travel

France is the world’s number-one tourist destination and attracts more than 70 million visitors  a year. A little French makes it so much more enjoyable to visit Paris and all the regions of France (from the mild climes of the Cote d’Azur to the snow-capped peaks of the Alps via the rugged coastline of Brittany) and offers insights into French culture, mentality and way of life. French also comes in handy when travelling to Africa, Switzerland, Canada, Monaco, the Seychelles and other places.
