Francophone Wannabe,
Quite frankly, my friend Overah’s
French classes are not for everyone. And not everyone who applies to attend is
approved.
However, because I know it will do
you a world of good, I am letting you in on this special opportunity to learn
French in a relaxed and fun environment.
If you are an Executive or
Entrepreneur worth taking seriously, you’ll know French speakers are taking the
world by storm. Don’t believe? Take a look at the facts and statistics:
•French is a language spoken on all
5 continents, one of the few spoken all over the world.
•French is the second most widely
learned foreign language in the world, with almost 120 million students and
500,000 teachers.
•Thanks to the growth of the
French-speaking population in sub-Saharan Africa, the OIF (International
Organisation of Francophonie) estimates that the number of French speakers will
rise to over 700 million in coming decades.
•Even the British Council
acknowledges, French is the language most sought after by those employers
looking for language skills (49 per cent). It was also the second most
frequently requested language in a survey of job advertisements carried out in
2012.
•An international language of
reference. French plays a special role in international sporting life as an
official language of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and hence of the
Olympic Games.
•French has long been a key language
for diplomacy and remains an important language for the Foreign and Commonwealth
Office.
•French is extremely important for
both inward and outward tourism.
•Opens up opportunities for
immigration. Specifically for Canadian Immigration, candidates in the Express
Entry pool, with proven French abilities may obtain an additional 15 or 30
points to boost their CRS score.
Why am I telling you all this? Well,
here is what learning French can mean for you:
•Be reckoned with.
•You can finally stop grumbling
about being passed over for those mouth-watering opportunities that come up
every so often at work, and actually, go for it!
•As an entrepreneur, the world is
your market, literally.
•Freedom to tour the world and be
entertained, in French.
•You can boost your CRS ranking by
adding another 15 or 30 points to your score. Don’t worry, thank me later.

Overah?
