What did he say? What does it mean?
The summer break is winding down, and schools and universities across the country are gearing back up for the new academic year. But education isn't just for youngsters; you need never stop learning, and that can be particularly true if you're less than fluent in the local language. A solid grasp of French can add to your quality of life in this country – being able to understand what is going on around you, and why!
The spoken word
There are many ways to learn French as a foreigner: total immersion,
group or individual lessons at a language school, or private lessons at
your home or workplace. And then you have the choice of "distance
learning", working one-on-one with your teacher by telephone and
e-mail – very convenient if you are on the move and unable to attend
regular classes.
AngloINFO provides a number of resources to help you with the language:
First, there are listings of French
Lessons & Language Schools in The AngloFILE, AngloINFO's
directory of English-speaking businesses and organisations in the
region.
If you're keen to teach yourself, you'll find a selection of language
guides and dictionaries in the Bookshop.
These can be bought online through Amazon.co.uk.
And if you're stuck on a phrase, or struggling to read a French-language
website, then see the INFOrmation Page on Online
Translation, which links to a number of Internet resources that
can help you with an automated translation from English to French (or
vice versa).
