Learn French
Would you like to learn French? French is ranked the second most influential language in the world after English.
After you're fluent in French, you'll have 265 million more people in the world that you can speak with. You'll be able to travel to 35 more countries and speak with the local people without depending on your tour guide for basic survival.
Here in Canada, French is the most popular second language course to take in school, since Canada has two official languages - English and French.
Free Resources to Learn French
My favourite free resource is
Before You Know It Lite - Learn French.
It's actually a free language learning program that teaches you vocabulary for 13 different topics or lists. I'm really glad I found this one, since it has helped our pronunciation a great deal, and our memory of new vocabulary words. The audio and graphics are very clear, and the program is very easy to use.
The program does not time out, it's yours forever. You could copy it to a disk, and load it on a computer that is not online. Just choose "French", or one of the languages you want, and the link will be sent to you by email.
I have to admit, I asked for all the languages, since I am language greedy. In fact, if you're not sure which language you want to learn, this is a great free way to test the water, and pick your favourite language, or let your children tell you which language is their favourite. It's also great if you want to learn basic conversation from more than one language.
