Why Study French in Perth?

Learn French for Work and Travel

Want to boost your career in Perth? If so, learning French is a really smart move. It opens doors to better-paid jobs and offers a distinct advantage for business growth within the city. Local giants like Woodside Energy Group and South32 are on the lookout for bilingual talent, specifically those proficient in French. Why? Because mastery of French brings a unique skill set that's in high demand. It not only bridges communication gaps but also enhances your ability to connect with diverse client bases.

This competitive advantage extends to entrepreneurs in Perth as well. Having French proficiency under your belt can open up international markets and elevate your negotiation game. It sets the stage for seamless collaboration with French-speaking partners, enhancing your credibility both locally and globally.

Shifting gears from the workplace to the world at large, let's delve into the exciting travel experiences that will open up to you once you learn French. Mastering this fascinating language will allow you to roam the globe with newfound confidence and ease. Whether you find yourself in bustling Parisian streets or in a quiet village in Quebec, you'll no longer be just a tourist but a well-informed traveller, capable of deep connections and meaningful interactions. You will gain unprecedented access to regions where English isn't commonly spoken, opening up a world rich in cultural experiences. Your conversations with locals will become insightful exchanges, offering a deeper understanding of the places you visit. From enjoying meals in local bistros to exploring hidden historical gems, every travel experience will be heightened by your language skills.

Learn French for Social

Choosing to learn French opens a gateway to cultural enrichment, particularly in the vibrant city of Perth. Take the Alliance Française Perth, for example. This esteemed cultural centre regularly hosts events such as the French Film Festival, offering you an insider's look into the complexities and charms of French cinema. Although all films have English subtitles, if you understand French, you’ll get to appreciate the nuance of the dialogue and catch cultural references that might otherwise be lost in translation.

Another event you shouldn't miss is the Bonjour Perth Festival, held every October at Market Square Park. This lively showcase offers everything from exquisite French pastries to live performances and artisanal crafts. With your grasp of the language, you'll navigate the festival with the ease of a local, experiencing the food, music, and art in a way that's deeply enriching.

Learn French for Culture

Mastering French in Perth can seriously level up your social life, thanks in part to local groups that make practising the language both easy and fun. For instance, the French Conversation Fun Meetup is a casual get-together where people chat in French for a couple of hours over coffee or breakfast. It's a friendly space where everyone helps each other out if they're stuck on a word or phrase. Native speakers often join in, adding a real-life touch to the discussions. The group meets at different locations around the city and sometimes goes out for dinner or French-themed events.

Then there's Français Plus - Perth, aimed at folks who are already pretty comfortable conversing in French. They encourage members to be active, asking that you aim to attend at least 10 meetings a year. The group likes to keep things interesting and organises everything from coffee catch-ups to watching French films and going to concerts.

Joining these groups not only helps you get better at French, but also connects you with people who are just as into French culture as you are. It's a win-win: improve your language skills and make some new friends at the same time.

Studio Bagel

As the name suggests, this YouTube channel is not run by just one person but a group of YouTubers that speak about topics as varied as aliens, being in a long-distance relationship and movie trailers. Different from other artists on the platform, there’s nobody talking directly to the camera in this case. Instead, you’ll find short movies and documentaries, presented at a slow pace and using a clear style, that will suit intermediate level learners just fine. Most of the videos do not have any subtitles, so they are more suitable for advanced levels looking to fine-tune their listening comprehension skills. Click here to subscribe.

In addition to talking about beauty, she also discusses the challenges of being curvy in a society that does not fully accept plus-sized people. So, on top of learning new words like maquillage (make-up), portefeuille (wallet) or défilé de mode (fashion show), you’ll also gain new insights into the fascinating French culture.

CNews

If you’re a beginner who wants to improve their French listening skills, lexicon and comprehension of different accents, then watching the news is a great idea.

A good option is CNews, a channel launched in 1999 and uses very simple vocabulary, slow cadence and clear enunciation when delivering the news in French. Also, it’s known for being one of the fastest broadcasters to report the news as events happen, so you’ll always be up-to-date! Get started with news in French here!

Some categories covered by the games include food, family, animals, numbers and phrases, so there are no limits to the language your child can acquire while playing! Check out the games here!

Frère Jacques

Children love music. This is a great advantage when learning a foreign language, as songs do wonders when it comes to improving their listening and speaking skills. Furthermore, your kids can retain information and new vocabulary much more easily when singing something that appeals to them. Frère Jacques is a great song for children to learn new verbs and the word order in questions. It’s about a friar who mustn’t fall asleep before saying his prayers, so his friends ask him dormez-vous? (are your sleeping?), comptez-vous? (are you counting?) and chantez-vous? (are you singing?) to help him stay awake. Click here to know more about this rhyme.
