Many students ask me if French really does matter. In a world where Asia is rapidly competing against the western world, would it make more sense to learn Chinese than learn French? My answer has to this is that it all depends on how you will use this acquired second language.

Most people who learn French and I repeat, most but not all, learn French to expand their cultural and artistic development. This includes my students who work as actors, film directors and Broadway producers. Many of them utilize French as a tool to communicate with French counterparts and explore the strong world recognition of French film. On the other hand, Chinese is a language that is becoming vital to learn due to the ever increasing trade with China. In other words, most and I repeat again, most but not all, learn Chinese because it is an economically driven tool required to expand economically.

I’m not minimizing the richness of Chinese language as one of the oldest languages known to history, and I’m also aware of the importance of Chinese to those in literary science and classical studies.

In conclusion, my believe is that a language is of little value in itself, the real value is determining how and why you want to learn this language and how this will impact your life.

Bonjour!

My name is Marie Demene and I provide French Classes in NYC . Many prospective students email me asking me if I offer Free French Classes in NYC. Unfortunately, I cannot offer free lessons as my time is very limited. I understand, however that there are many  people that want to Learn French, but cannot afford to hire a private french tutor.

Fortunately, we live in the era of the Internet and information can be free and accessible to anyone, anywhere. There are alternatives to learn french classes that you can take online. I looked at some of these sites, and believe they are good.  Some of these sites have a free section, and also a paid membership.

I would suggest that you review the free section well before you spend your hard earned money on any online french language course.  Whichever option you decide to take, remember that persistence and motivation are behind all learning, particularly in language learning. Or as you may have heard, success is 90% hard work, 10% IQ
