Some people are actively choosing not to learn French, assuming it’s lost its relevance in the UK since Brexit. But in reality? Learning French is still très chic and très smart.
Perhaps you’re thinking about your career? Perhaps you’re coming at it from a cultural perspective? Or perhaps you’re just flexing your cognitive muscle? In any event, when you learn French, it still opens plenty of doors.
Not sure why this elegant language deserves a spot on your to-learn list? Let’s take a closer look.
Enjoy Career Perks and Professional Wins When You Learn French
Want to up your career prospects? Speaking French can give your CV an edge in multiple different ways. For example:
- Global job market – Companies from fashion houses to finance firms love a candidate who can parlez français.
- Post-Brexit power move – Want to keep doors open to the EU? Learning French keeps UK professionals connected.
- Industry goldmine – Think luxury goods, aerospace, and international business. French sets you apart in all these sectors and more.
Tap Into Culture and Cuisine
In addition to business, learning French offers you a front row seat to some of the world’s richest cultural experiences (and the best cheese).
French literature, cinema, and food culture? Oui please.
Yet, there’s more to the French vibe than snails and Sartre, although both have their place.
Moreover, learning French improves memory, multitasking, and problem-solving.
Smaller World, Bigger Perspective
Looking to make global connections? French is a passport to at least 32 countries across five continents, and a different way of seeing the world. So, let’ say you can do more with it than practicing during a Paris city break.
A lot more actually, because the French language is diplomatic dynamite. In fact, it’s used everywhere important decisions get made, from the UN to the Olympics.

French is still très relevant in post-Brexit Britain. And it always will be, as the language of diplomacy, culture, and love.
