Why French

A working language of the UN, FIFA, the IOC and UNESCO.

After English, French is the second most widely taught foreign language in the world, and the ability to speak it is a real advantage on an international job market.

Life Baker Language Centre

French is not the only one on offer.

The Language Centre teaches English, Yoruba, Igbo, French and Chinese, to speaking, reading and writing level, within a few months rather than a few years.

Classes run from 4:00pm to 6:00pm on weekdays and 9:00am to 4:00pm on Saturdays, so students and working adults can both attend.

  • English
  • Yoruba
  • Igbo
  • French
  • Chinese
