If you are an adult who wants to challenge themselves by learning a foreign language, taking French lessons is a great way to do so. Speaking French can be a valuable skill to have because it is widely used in international communications. Students who are applying to universities in the Austin area, such as the University of Austin - Texas, can also benefit from having another language in their repertoire. If you have previously studied French, enrolling in lessons can help refamiliarize you with your past lessons. If you have no prior experience studying French, a course could help you understand the structure and intricacies of this unfamiliar language.
Perhaps you are a student at Westwood High School or another high school that desires to study abroad in France during your college years. If so, knowing French could help you connect with other students. Maybe you are a business professional that will need to travel to France as part of your work, and you will need a firm grasp of French to conduct business. Knowing more than one language can also look good on your resume and possibly open up new job opportunities. Regardless of where you are at in your French language studies or your reason for learning the language, a French course could help you reach for your language learning goals.
There are many benefits to knowing a second language, particularly one as popular as French. There are a few hundred million people who speak French as either a first or second language. In general, studying a new language forces you to challenge yourself. You will put yourself in new situations and learn how to speak words that you have never spoken before. It can develop your thinking skills and stimulate your brain. It can teach you how to motivate yourself.
What skills will be covered in the Austin French course?
French is a unique language, and it has many unique rules, including spelling, grammar, and pronunciation rules. If you have never learned a foreign language, it can take some time to get used to different language rules. In your class, you will learn about these rules. For example, your instructor can teach you about direct object pronouns in French, such as le, les, and la. You can learn how to properly use indefinite adjectives and pronouns, such as tous, la plupart, quelque, and aucun. Your instructor can introduce you to sentences that contain modal verbs, such as vouloir, pouvoir, and devoir.
Learning a new language is challenging, but taking French lessons could make it easier. Studying in a course gives you the opportunity to join in on discussions in French with other students. This gives you a chance to use French words which you may otherwise not have had a chance to use. It is important to actually use the new words and phrases that you learn because it can aid you in remembering them. In addition, you can hear French words and phrases spoken by other students which you did not yet learn or which you have forgotten. The instructor, depending on the level of the class, can teach lessons entirely in French.
Taking an Austin French class can be very beneficial if being able to speak French with the correct pronunciation is important to you. When you study alone, it can be hard to ensure that you are getting the pronunciation of French words correct. However, your language instructor can identify when you are making mistakes and point them out to you. They can patiently go over the pronunciation of specific words that can be challenging to non-native speakers during the course. Getting the pronunciation of words correctly takes practice, which is why speaking in French with your fellow classmates can be beneficial.
Even if you already know some of the things that will be covered in the class curriculum, you can still benefit from enrolling. Reviewing information can help you absorb it better. This is especially true when it comes to languages, where consistent practice is important for improving fluency.
Your language instructor can introduce you and the other students in the class to interesting facts about France's rich history and culture. A deeper understanding of the culture could help you form a connection with the language that may not have been formed from learning vocabulary and verb tenses on their own. Your instructor might also introduce you to interesting pieces of French literature.
How does the Austin French class work?
You can attend these classes over the internet, through our Live Learning Platform. They are administered by trained educators. Since these classes take place over the internet, there will be no need to commute in order to attend class. Instead, you can take them from the comfort of your own home or other location of your choosing. You can interact with the instructor and other students in real time in the virtual classroom.
If you feel that you need some private time with your instructor to go over what you learned during the class, you can request that. During this one-on-one time, you can get a chance to ask questions that have been bothering you or go over the correct pronunciation of certain words that you find particularly challenging.
How can I start my Austin French course?

Regardless of your current fluency in French, taking a class in Austin could prove beneficial in reaching your language learning goals.

John: Austin French course instructor
I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.
