French – the language of love and one of the most commonly spoken language among expats here in Hong Kong. Whether you’re looking to brush up on those long-forgotten school lessons or starting afresh, French is a handy skill to have, for business, travel, and culture.
Alliance Française has been promoting the French language in Hong Kong since 1953. The non-profit organisation offers a range of French language courses for all ages, as well as cultural events and a library of books, magazines, newspapers, CDs, and DVDs.
Its adult language courses are designed to provide the skills for everyday use, academic, and business usage. The qualified and professional teachers encourage the students to interact, communicate, and work in groups to hone their vocabulary. The classes are performed in a friendly and immersive environment, and cover the full journey from beginner to fluent conversation.
