Why Learn French?

static block photo

One of the predominant Romance languages, French originated from (of all things) Vulgar Latin during the Roman Empire more than 2,000 years ago. Today, of course, the language is known for its eloquence and popularity amongst new language learners. French is spoken by approximately 75 million people as their first language and an additional 238 million as their second language. Worldwide, only a handful of languages are more commonly spoken. French is spoken by 63 million speakers in France, 6.5 million in Canada, and 5 million in former French and Belgian colonies. It is an official language in 44 countries and an official language of the United Nations.

A staple of foreign language courses in American high schools, French is one of the “core” foreign languages encouraged to learn in the United States. In fact, you may already have a few French words stashed away in your vocabulary. But do you know the language well enough to converse with a Parisian? With Pimsleur, you can start learning French – some useful phrases and more – in your first month, thanks to our innovative, flexible, and easily accessible learning platform.

Every language in the Pimsleur catalog employs techniques and methods first introduced by what’s known as the Pimsleur Method™. These proven lessons and instruction styles help you quickly grasp new words, and before you know it, you’re on your way to conversing with native French speakers.

When you learn the French language, you’ll enjoy all the benefits that come along with Pimsleur’s French courses:

  • The ability to read a book in French.
  • More enjoyable, in-depth travel experiences from France, French-speaking Canada, large parts of Africa, and elsewhere.
  • Immersive understanding of French culture that’s unique for people who have learned to speak French.
