Benefits of Learning French as a Child

Studying French helps raise confident, empathetic & competent individuals, ready to take on the world!

French is the most learned language in the world after English - and with good reason! There is always something exciting happening in the Francophone world and an incredibly rich culture spanning cinema, gastronomy and beyond. With the global number of French speakers on the rise, your child is best off learning French.

Beyond simply the ability to communicate with family, friends and future colleagues around the world, learning French improves your child's memory, boosts critical thinking and problem-solving skills, increases attention and focus, and even delays cognitive decline later in life, all thanks to the strengthening of neural pathways in the brain.

And through all life's twists and turns, whether your youngster dreams of a career in business, medicine, finance or the arts, the ability to speak French will be of an immeasurable advantage.

With their unique way of learning, now is the perfect time to start learning French and enjoy a lifetime of benefits.

"My daughter who is 9 years old has been learning French with Alliance Francaise for the past 4 years since she was 5 years old at Kindy Level and has progressed through to Loustics 3 Year 1.  The classes are very well structured so that she maximises her 2 hours learning each week, however, they are taught in a friendly and inclusive environment which makes learning French for her fun. She loves learning French with Alliance Française and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering French Lessons for their child."
