“There’s so many reasons to learn French,” concluded Alliance Française director José Marie Cortès at the end of his speech earlier this year, as he welcomed people to the Alliance Française French Film Festival, just one of the many events in the Alliance Française cultural calendar.
“We’ve had a father of the bride determined to deliver his speech in French for his daughter’s wedding to a French man, children of French expats keen to keep up their language, adults who learnt French years ago at school and want to revive it, Kiwis who love travelling to France, and all those who have a passion for a specific aspect of French culture - the food, the wine, the cinema or the language itself!”
With a vibrant young teaching team, a friendly, French immersion teaching style and classes in the heart of Grey Lynn, there are indeed many reasons to learn French with Alliance Française Auckland.
