Description

Learning French in Africa is an invaluable asset for anyone who envisions working in Africa as part of a long term career. Not only is it an advantage, it is normally required for development work with the United Nations, Medecins Sans Frontieres, & The Red Cross in Francophone Africa and Haiti.

By choosing Africa as a location to learn French, you will have a unique African cultural experience that can not be rivalled.

Highlights

The Classes
