French

Welcome to the French language programme.

French is a language spoken in all the five continents by around 300 million people.

French is also the official language for 29 Member States and one of the two working languages of the United Nations Secretariat.

We offer a variety of in-person and online courses, all tutor-led, intended for non-native French speakers who want to acquire French language skills to communicate in a social and /or professional context.

Our general courses cover levels UN I to UN III. We also offer specialized courses at different levels to improve the use of French in both written and oral contexts.

For more details, refer to the French Programme Overview.
