and has grown organically to become a major force in free online education and
skills training. Today, with more than 13 million learners in 195 countries,

education and skills training irrespective of gender, geography, economic
status or any other barriers that can so often stunt potential. So they offer a
range of free courses that meet the many diverse needs of our learners. The UN
declared in Article 26 of the 1946 Declaration of Human Rights that “Education
shall be free…”. This statement will always inspire us. Alison was founded by Alison CEO, Mike Feerick. Mike is a businessman, but one with a

successful business focused on meeting a huge global social need, making
education and skills training more accessible for everyone. He invites anyone
who believes that too, to support the Alison mission.
Alison is free of charge to you. But it’s still
a business – albeit a socially-focused one. We are a social enterprise making
our money through advertising, merchandise, and the sale of Certificates and
Diplomas, should a graduate choose to buy one. |
Diploma in French Language Studies is a free online course which is designed for anyone who wants to learn how to speak basic French. The different modules focus on topics such as introductions, the holiday, television or looking for a job.
The course lays down the foundations of the spoken language by introducing learners to the pronunciation of words and phrases through text and audio. Short audio segments let you hear how the words and phrases are pronounced. These are reinforced with longer videos, including transcripts and translations to English, using related interviews with French speakers.
You will learn how to greet people and introduce yourself, talk about your studies or your job. Core language such as understanding numbers, time and dates along with talking about the weather are covered. You will also learn the key language around the workplace, different occupations and looking for a job. Talking about where you live, what your home is like, how you spend your vacations and what you do in your spare time are covered along with daily routine and chores, paying the bills and going shopping.
The phonetics section in each module covers the pronunciation of the alphabet, French accents, accentuation, and vowels. Learners will also be directed to the relevant sections of grammar in a Grammar reference resource.
This course will be of great interest to anyone who wants to learn to speak French for use in business or social occasions, and for those wanting to travel to any French-speaking country or region in Europe.
