French (Beginners)

Come along and enroll in this fun and varied course with the goal of starting to communicate in colloquial French and to develop foundational skills in French. Learn to introduce yourself in French, use functional language for a variety of situations, and experience French cultures such as wine.

At EarthDiverse, we believe that language is culture, and there is no true understanding of other cultures unless we make an effort to learn non-English languages.

We offer GROW programmes, immersion opportunities as well as the French National Language Adviser who can work with your school to help strengthen the teaching of French. We also have close relationships with the New Zealand Association of French Teachers(NZAFT) as well as the French Embassy.

Learning French introduces you not only to a new language but to a culture and society as well. Languages can bring people together and French is widely used for communicating in many parts of the world, including our Pacific neighbours New Caledonia and French Polynesia.

Languages lead on to a wide variety of tertiary courses and jobs in commerce, tourism, education, media industry and any positions requiring advanced communication skills. A second language is becoming more beneficial when applying for jobs. There are opportunities to travel to French speaking.
