Our mission is to create and develop a network club in which people can learn French, travel, network, socialize, and share experiences. Club membership is open to everyone. The IFC has French classes available at all levels and a variety of social events open to the entire membership.

Besides text and exercise books, all classes include the use of material that will expose you to the wide variety of the French-speaking world; among others, French news, French movies, novels, songs and cartoons. You will also be invited to participate in team work, games and role-plays that will express what you have learned.
