So, learning French will allow you to communicate with this growing community, connect with fellow entrepreneurs who also speak the language and make the most of your holidays to French-speaking countries. Just get in touch with us at Language Trainers and we will start planning a course tailored to your needs and schedule!

Why Study French in San Francisco

Learn French for Work & Travel: Those who are looking for new job opportunities will find that French can boost their careers. There are a lot of companies that value French bilingual speakers, such as Hallmark Aviation Services, the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco or SoundHound, and want to hire candidates for positions such as customer service representative, associate editor and software engineer. And if you are looking to connect with entrepreneurs from France, you should contact the French American Chamber of Commerce on O’Farrell Street. Since 1978, they have been promoting economic and commercial relations between San Francisco and France, organizing interesting events and offering networking opportunities. Work aside, if you are more interested in learning French to travel, you will be pleased to know that since 2016, United Airlines, Lufthansa and Brussels Airlines have all been offering direct flights to and from Paris. In a little over 10 hours, you can be in the beautiful city of Paris, ordering food like a local with your newly acquired French skills!

Learn French for Culture: If you would like to understand French culture better, you will find a lot of opportunities to do so in San Francisco. The Alliance Française on Bush St is always organizing different events such as film screenings, conversation nights, concerts, conferences and more! For example, you can join the French Movie Night every Tuesday. Since 2017 they have been featuring French classic films with English subtitles. After taking some lessons with us and developing your listening skills, we are sure you are not going to need those subtitles! And if you are more interested in art, you can join their annual art opening Vernissage Loic Riou, that includes a live performance by the artist. Why not approach him after the opening and impress him with your French accent?

Learn French for Social & Food: Culture aside, you can meet new friends in San Francisco with a similar interest in French. For example, you can join the San Francisco French Language and Culture Lovers MeetUp Group, with more than 1400 members. If you love the French language or culture, you can meet these people in the events they organize twice a week. In case you have children who are also studying French, they can join the Francophone Kids MeetUp Group, dedicated to children who want to interact with other French speaking kids. And if you want to have some excellent French food with your friends and family, don’t miss Piperade on Battery St, a warm and welcoming place that offers calamari a la plancha and roasted fish in vinaigrette. Another option is Castagna on Chesnut St, a restaurant that serves seafood and classic dishes such as beef daube and ratatouille. Imagine ordering these dishes with the French pronunciation you acquired with Language Trainers!
