Benefits of learning
French..
There are a wide variety of benefits to learning a new language and Alliance Française de
Rockhampton recognises that people learn French for different reasons. Some of the reasons our
students learn French include:
Communication
Many students have travelled or plan to travel overseas. The travel experience can be enhanced by knowing some key French phrases and to be able to communicate with locals in their own language. Speaking another's language shows respect for that culture, and people in every country prefer it when tourists make an effort to speak the local language.

Wide spread use of French
French is ranked the 2nd most influential language of the world and is spoken as a native language in more than two dozen countries on five continents!
Depending on your sources, French has 72-79 million native speakers and another 190 million secondary speakers. French is the second most commonly taught second language in the world (after English), making it a real possibility that speaking French will come in handy practically anywhere you travel.

Learning French is intellectually stimulating!
Learning another language can help one understand their own language better. Studies have also shown that students who study another language, often do better academically. Foreign language study can also help to increase problem-solving skills, self-discipline and can help to ward off memory loss!

Learning French is fun!
As well as meeting other students, people can expect to be exposed to many other activities such as film nights, dinners, conversation group meetings and other special events. In addition, when you speak another language, you can enjoy literature, film, and music in the original language.
