As the fourth most widely spoken mother tongues in the European Union, French is the official language of France; also widely spoken in Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Monaco, Africa and in some parts of Canada[i]. While you are likely to get different regional accents, an Intensive French Language Program may help you gain fluency and confidence. Choose from a variety of sponsored listings and decide whether you want to learn Parisian French in France, or take language courses in another country.
FUN FACT: if you want to say “to study” in French, you can say ‘etudier’ which is a verb[ii].
