Linguistic education is one of the basic concerns of the Franco-German Youth Office (FGYO): We encourage all young people in Germany, France and Europe to learn the languages of neighboring countries.

To help you learn French or German as a foreign language we have developed several materials and resources that you can use by yourself, in the classroom or during extracurricular courses. Playful learning of languages and intercultural awareness are at the core of these resources as they are key to developing foreign language skills and an open mind.
