This question is an old and tricky one. Why would someone want to learn a language, especially French? Too intellectual, too many grammar rules, too long to learn, impossible to pronounce, etc. As if French was only taking away our precious time and not giving us ananything valuable in return! Really? Let's start with simple facts. There are 321 million French speakers in the world. French is the 5th world language. 93 million students are schooled in French. 51 million people learn French. It is also the 2nd most taught foreign language throughout the world and the 4th language used on the Internet. Not bad for a reason to learn French! But there is more. French is a key language. It opens so many doors in so many places. Literature, arts, fashion, wines, cuisine, movies, science, politics, medicine, diplomacy, music, dance, writing, etc. My point? Learn French, follow your dream, and open your own doors!
Depending on each student, a few reasons I've seen with my students on another platform: - travel to French speaking countries for holidays. - speak to online French speaking friends. - Study abroad. - Work abroad. - simply work remotely with French speakers on a specific project.

Hello Usof! French can be useful for increasing professional opportunities. Also knowing the French language allows you to read French great writers in the original, as well as watch French movies and listen to French songs. It is useful if you want to travel to francophone countries. And even just knowing this romantic language causes a wonderful feeling. :))
Il faut apprendre le Francais pour les livres, les chansons, et pour la joie de vivre! C'est unn language du coeur et de la culture Francaise! Grace à mes etudes je peux lire Balzac, Dumas et Hugo en Francais! Ce n'est pas aussi difficile qu'on peut imaginer!
I love French!!! And learning one more beautiful and international language like French helps to improve your comprehension skills and open other doors to great opportunities, since French is spoked in many places around the World. There is some beautiful French songs, that only French speakers can enjoy, and this is a good experience. You can find your personal good reason to learn that amazing language!!!
I personally would learn or learned french because.. first, my country is a bilingual country.. also, i think it is important to know at least two to three languages because you might have opportunities from all round the world.

- As someone who is currently learning Quebec french, what is the best way to understand spoken french
I have been trying my best to learn french, of course I am not the best yet, but I am good with reading sometimes, not all of the time. But I cannot understand when people speak to me in french. Any useful tips would be much appreciated. My speaking is sometimes alright, I still struggle finding words as I dont know every single thing just yet.

Understanding Quebec French can indeed be quite a challenge! I would recommend first focusing on building a strong foundation in standard French (like the French spoken in France), as this will give you a solid base before tackling the accent and unique expressions of Quebec French. Once you're comfortable with general French, you'll find it easier to grasp the nuances of Quebec French. As a native Quebec speaker, I'd be happy to help guide you through your learning journey and improve your understanding and speaking skills in Quebec French. Feel free to book lessons with me if you'd like to progress faster!
