Learn the Language with Ease: Study French Abroad

If you’ve ever taken a French course, it’s easy to see why people around the world call French the language of love. With a rhythmic, nearly hypnotic sound, French simply sounds beautiful – even to a foreign ear. And while French language courses at your college or university can teach you the basics, the best way to perfect your tongue is to study French abroad with CEA.

Just think: after only a few days on your study abroad, you’ll never mutter the dreaded phrase, "Je ne parle pas Français" again. From the moment you step off the plane, you’ll begin to pick up the finer points of the perfect French accent, learning to speak like the locals do and widening your vocabulary beyond anything you’ll find in a textbook.

If you can widen your knowledge after just a few days, imagine how much you can learn from a whole summer, semester or year on your France study abroad trip. Between taking language courses on a university campus and immersing yourself in the culture, history art and cuisine of everyday French life, you’ll spend every second of your study abroad soaking up the spirit of France – and the proper pronunciation, verb conjugation, conversation starters and more.
