Photo of Paris by Anthony DELANOIX on Unsplash法国, the second most widely learned language after English, is spoken by more than 220 million people. As the world’s fifth economy and a leading destination for foreign investment, France is a not only a key economic partner, but also the international language of cooking, fashion, theatre, the visual arts, dance and architecture. It is both a working language and an official language of the United Nations, the European Union, UNESCO, NATO, the International Olympic Committee, the International Red Cross and International 法院. It's a delight to learn as a melodius, rich language often called the language 爱的.

As a 法国 major or minor, you'll join the 部门 of 世界语言 at Aquinas College, which promotes an understanding of and exchange with other cultures both within and outside the United States. Our integrated program of language learning incorporates all of the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Students learn to use the language in a communicative, interactive environment within 教室里. The 部门 also offers a variety of courses for advanced study in culture, literature, applied language for the professions, translation and interpretation. These courses are designed to enhance an understanding of the richness of the human experience over the centuries and across cultures, and prepare our students for graduate school and/ or the professional world.
