Resources
Learning a language takes time and commitment but it is a very rewarding and enjoyable process. Whether you take French at IVC and you want to immerse yourself in French outside the class or you just want to learn French on your own, here are a few ideas followed by some useful websites.
French Culture in Southern California
Southern California is home to a large number of French speakers. In recent years, the number of French speakers from France and Francophone countries who have made California their home has increased. Los Angeles, for example, is the American city with the second largest number of French speakers in the USA; they have come in search of work and study opportunities in different fields from the movie industry to information technology. This has made it possible for learners of French to access French and Francophone culture and practice the language locally.
