Why Study French in Dublin

Learn French for Work: Learning French in Dublin will boost your employability and broaden your professional horizons. In 2020, Irish imports from France was $10.73 billion while French investments in Ireland amounted to 17 billion euros (with 350 French companies operating in Ireland). Some of the most important ones are Renault, Allianz Worldwide, Air France and Sanofi. Most of these businesses are always looking for bilingual speakers who can communicate with their French clients abroad. Also, if you are looking to connect with French companies and entrepreneurs, you should get in touch with the France-Ireland Chamber of Commerce on 44 Upper Mountain Street. This is a private, non-profit organisation, founded in 1978, with the aim of supporting the increase of trade between France and Ireland, and to attract potential investors to both countries.

Learn French for Culture: Those who want to experience French culture around the city will find many instances for doing so. For instance, the Alliance Française Dublin organises monthly events, like poetry readings attended by famous French authors, such as Maryvonne LeRoy, Claudine McKeown and Allison Neill-Rabaux. If you are into art, don’t miss out on this opportunity to enjoy great poetry and impress the artists with the language skills you learn with us at Language Trainers! And those who are into films should attend the Shorts Film Festival hosted by the European Union National Institutes for Culture. You will enjoy screenings of the best short films from all over Europe, including France. All the movies are showcased in their original language. Forget about English subtitles after taking some French lessons.

Learn French for Social: If you are looking to meet like-minded people while using your French, you should join the Dublin French Meetup Group, which gives you the opportunity to improve your French conversation skills while making new friends. From beginner to advanced levels, everyone is welcome to come along, so take advantage of this opportunity to put your French to use! The meetings are usually held in restaurants that serve French dishes, like La Maison on 15 Castle Market, where you can order gazpacho soup or salade de petit pois, and La Mere Zou, where you can taste delicious pot au feu of rabbit. Order in French and impress both the staff and your new friends with your amazing pronunciation and language skills!
