LEARNING THE FRENCH LANGUAGE: STRESS-FREE AND POCKET-FRIENDLY!

By 'zika Olofin

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.

Why should you book a class with Overah?

•Quality: You get the chance to be taught by native speakers and actual graduates of the French language.

•Accessibility & Convenience: Classes are located on Lagos mainland, and you get to learn in a fun and relaxed way.

•Experience: Language immersion visits to francophone environments

•Price: Super pocket-friendly. I promise.

Nota bene: This opportunity is not for you, if:
•You are a fence-sitter
•You are a no-show person (a.k.a. promise and fail).

Voilà, now that we’re clear on that, what are you waiting for?
