Paul Rochelemagne
Director of the Alliance Française de Kandy
Bonjour à toutes et à tous,
Dear Francophile friends,
As the director of this esteemed and prestigious institution, it is with great pride and genuine pleasure that I welcome you today to the Alliance Française. I am thrilled to warmly greet our community, united in its commitment to advancing the French language and celebrating Francophone cultures.
The Alliance Française is a vibrant hub of exchange and cultural enrichment. Our mission extends beyond language, serving as a gateway to diversity where boundaries fade and minds open. Throughout your journey at the Alliance Française, you will not only discover the linguistic richness of French but also the diversity of artistic and cultural expressions that contribute to the renown of the Francophone world. Our courses, cultural events, workshops, and meetings are all opportunities for you to immerse yourself in this captivating adventure.
Learning French opens the door to exceptional possibilities, and the diplomas offered by the Alliance are internationally recognized. Did you know that French is an official language in 29 countries, second only to English ? Francophone countries like France, Belgium, and Canada offer a wealth of professional and academic opportunities, which will be accessible to you if you speak French.
But even if you don’t plan to move to a French-speaking country, it’s important to remember that wherever you are, French is a highly valued skill, sought after by both companies and universities. This is the skill that will set you apart from other candidates.
Whether you’re aiming for rewarding jobs or prestigious universities, by coming to the Alliance and receiving the best French instruction available in Kandy, you’ll maximize your chances of achieving your goals.
May this experience at the Alliance Française be the gate to a new culture and a new world. We are thrilled to have you with us.
À bientôt.
