Athabasca University offers one of the strongest distance-learning French programs in the world. As French is an actively spoken language in parts of Canada, the focus will be on working French and understanding French in a day-to-day life and business context. Emphasis falls on understanding written French and on giving students the tools to appreciate French vernacular. The degree program allows students to learn the language quickly and to begin using it as a primary language. The program will require a knowledge of French equivalent to second-level high school classes.

If Russian is your passion, why not learn from the Russians themselves? FENU is one of the first Russian colleges to offer online learning to the West, and it offers a unique ability to learn and speak Russian from Russians. The college has taken extra care to ensure its instructors are thoroughly fluent in English and can offer a focus on everything from business Russian to Russian history and culture from the perspective of Russians themselves. FENU has had a long history of serving non-Russians who come to their home country to study, welcoming students from across the globe. That expertise extends to their online coursework. Even better, all courses are open to students, so you can practice Russian within your own discipline.
