Absolutely! You may want to understand something that you find different from your personal vision of life that you heard or saw from a neighbor, we will make time to talk and explain the matter in which culture is found. For instance, how do the Congolese people perform their marriage? Why do people from such and such country or tribe have scars on their faces?

How do I learn a language quickly?
The language lessons are taught in the easiest and fun method that will keep your focus by using frequently open conversations to help you practice while you grow in vocabularies. Plus you will be using audio and vision material to improve your pronunciation.

Can I register to learn to prepare myself to be comfortable in a country overseas?
Yes, it is one of the reasons why FALC exists. If you want to go to a country where your primary language is not spoken, you are always welcome to take even the useful expressions that will help basic communication. This is very important because it will prepare your mind to take off the coat of stranger to speak the local language and understand even the basic useful expressions for a better journey.

Does FALC provide private and group classes?
Obviously, we want our students to feel comfortable while learning. Students have the choice to decide if they want to be in group or learn privately. Also they can propose if they want to learn at their own houses or at the center. But it is true that there are many advantages when learning in a group because students will have opportunity to practice with one another every time they meet for class and also make new friendships. That is one way to have people to practice to speak the new language.
