Did you know?
There are thirteen ways to spell the 'o' sound in French.
Salut! French is the world's ninth most widely-used language, spoken by more than 200 million people. It is the second most widely-learned foreign language after English, and can take you all over the world—from Africa to Switzerland, Canada to Monaco, and the Seychelles.
French can be relatively easy to learn, but difficult to speak well. There's an old adage that bad French comes across as much worse than bad Spanish, bad Italian, or bad German. The native French ear and French attitude are notoriously unforgiving. Perhaps it would not do for a doorway to such richness in culture and the arts to be too easily accessible...

France has an allure and a 'je ne sais quoi' that has been replicated by no other country or language. French is the language of Victor Hugo, Molière, Edith Piaf, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Zinedine Zidane; and France, the home of Paris, St. Tropez, and Chamonix.
Whether it's fashion or wine, cinema or l'entrecôte, French chic is aspired to throughout the world. France is an extremely popular destination for holiday makers and second home owners.
With their fearsome reputation for only speaking French, if you want to communicate with the locals then learning the basics is a must for any Francophile.
If you are considering learning or brushing up on your French language skills, you have come to the right place. The Beverly Hills Lingual Institute has been teaching French for more than 30 years, earning an esteemed reputation in Los Angeles.
