French Lessons in Perth

As the second most widely learned language in the world, French is gaining astonishing traction as a global tongue. Considered a top language of travel, culture, and international relations, knowing French can open doors for business people and backpackers alike. With 200 million speakers around the world, learning the "language of love" can be a useful asset whether you plan on reading the French classics at home or traveling to distant nations abroad.

In 2016, Population Australia showed that over a quarter of Australians were born overseas. And in Perth, the fourth-largest city in the country, 30% of its 2-million-strong population are immigrants. Foreign-born concentrations, especially Indians and Malaysians, are growing in the suburbs, while more Asians, including the Chinese, are moving into the city. In fact, Perth now rivals Melbourne and other multicultural Australian cities for its ethnic diversity. Just take a stroll around the city and you will go through Chinatown, Greektown, Little Portugal and a huge Punjabi market.  And while English is the de facto language spoken by over 70% of the city’s population, 20 different languages are spoken natively throughout the city (the most common ones being Mandarin, Arabic, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Italian, Korean and Japanese). Many of these people are privileged to be able to make the most of both their native culture and their adopted Australian one. Expand your own knowledge, experiences and opportunities, too, and start learning a foreign language today to connect with one (or more) of these communities.
