Did you know that, according to the latest census, French is the second most-spoken foreign language in Ireland? Something similar happens in Cork, where almost 1,500 people speak French as their first or second language. This means you’ll have the possibility of making new friends with whom to practice your French and take your speaking skills to the next level. If you are unsure how or when to meet them, you can always join Meetup groups like the Cork French/English Language Exchange. They usually host monthly meetings to get to know each other, speak in French and eat the most delicious food at some local bar or restaurant.
Also, French will not only be useful to socialise and make new friends. If you become fluent in this Romance language, you’ll also be able to enjoy cultural events on a whole new level. For instance, you can join the annual French Film Festival, typically organised at the Gate Cinema on Main St. around September, where you’ll get to watch the best French movies in their original language.
And if you’re worried you’re going to find French too difficult to learn, don’t! English and French have a long-standing linguistic relationship that goes back to the Norman Conquest (back in 1066!). From then onwards, the English language did not stop borrowing words from French. Apostrophe, brunette, bureau, chaise longue… We are sure you’re familiar with these words, and all of them are French! As soon as you start with your French course, you’ll realise you know a lot more of the language than you imagined.

Games are great instruments to help children acquire a new language while having fun. Luckily, the internet is full of websites that offer language games for free, such as Hello World. This site is full of interactive activities and songs that help kids learn basic French vocabulary, such as the alphabet, numbers, shapes and colours. Most of the games are classical ones, like tic tac toe, listen and match, etc. There is also a section that features expressions, like greetings, thanking others or asking for food, where children can listen to recordings of real conversations and repeat them while completing exercises.

My Listen & Learn tutor, Yann, made a huge effort to help me understand how the grammar works, and how to say things properly – these aren’t things you can learn from a book
