Why learn French?
French is a language which sounds beautiful, musical, elegant and aristocratic. After English, it is probably the only language which is spoken in all 5 continents. Its roots originate from Greek and Latin and it has contributed considerably to what is known today as the “European culture”.
- It is the language of the European Union: Brussels, Luxemburg and Strasburg are all French-speaking capitals and French, like English are considered the main languages.
- According to a research the Department of Education and Culture of the Greek government, French is the second choice among the 11 official EU languages, right after English. It is also taught in every country of the world.
- Greece is one of the 56 members of the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF).
- French is the official language of the EU, in order to differentiate from the USA and it is also the official language of the Olympic Games and the Eurovision song contest.
- Registration at the French universities, which are known worldwide for their high level of studies, is now free (as we are a member of OIF) and the Greek students share the same privileges as the French, enjoying the benefits of a high-quality health and social security system.
