Whether you have experience speaking French and want to relearn a few skills, you're a high school student at Ocean Lakes High School working on your diploma requirements, or you're a college student at South University - Virginia Beach majoring in French, 大象传媒 has a Virginia Beach French course that could help you with all levels of experience. Learning a new language can sometimes be difficult, even if you already have some knowledge of French. Sitting in a regular classroom may not help you improve your skills either. One of the best ways to improve your language skills is to practice French with others in a setting that makes you feel comfortable.
Around the world, almost 300 million people use French as their official language. It is spoken in over 50 countries, including those in North and West Africa, Southeast Asia, and Northern Europe. Canada and France itself, of course, have large populations of native French speakers. Not only is French one of the most influential languages, but it is one of the six official languages in the United Nations. French is also the second-most widely used language in the international business world. Learning a second language can open up doors to new places, both in and out of the workplace. As our world becomes more technology-based, bilingualism is becoming a key skill in this professional realm. Out of the workplace, French culture is full of rich and influential experiences. Learning French could help you as you travel to French-speaking countries and learn more about the culture.
大象传媒 can enroll you in a Virginia Beach French class, whether you are a first-year high school French student struggling with new concepts you are learning, a business professional who wants to communicate with others, or an experienced French speaker who wants to refresh their skills. We can help you get more proficient in the language and find a class that makes a good fit in your schedule. This class may be just the thing to help you get the extra confidence you need to build fluency.
What will a Virginia Beach French course cover?
Learning any language can have its difficulties, which make it challenging for those trying to master it. French is a classic Romance language related to English. Good English vocabulary and grammar skills can be helpful when learning French. It does have some unfamiliar things that a native English speaker might have difficulty with, such as some rules and grammatical quirks. Between the familiar and unfamiliar, these rules and quirks might confuse a native English speaker. However, consistency in writing, speaking, and reading French is key if you want to retain the skills you are learning. No matter whether you are just starting your journey or already have good skills, a French course is a good way to practice and improve your understanding.
One of the first things you will notice about French is that it has gendered nouns. They are also not only gendered but must agree in number as well. These nouns also have to agree with the number and gender of the articles that precede them. Another difficulty in learning French is the trickiness of their verbs since they have many irregular conjugations. Your instructor might tell you to memorize these conjugations because that might be the best way to retain them. You also learn accented letters and how to pronounce them. The French have verbs to express opinion such as "je crois que" and "je pense que" and question words like "quand," "comment," and "pourquoi" much like English does. Your class will cover much of this plus much more in a setting where you can practice and ask questions about French.
How will a Virginia Beach French course help me learn?
