French  is an international language.  It is significant to Australian trade, commerce and tourist initiatives that exist between Australia and France. The ability to communicate in French  is relevant for students interested in travel to Europe, Africa or Asia. Similarly, learning a foreign language helps you in your career. With globalisation, knowing a foreign language is an asset. It will assist students in the tourist industry, in catering, hotel administration, public relations, banking, and in many foreign firms.

Modern Greek is a community language and in Australia many people speak Greek. Opportunities to meet Greek people and communicate in Greek are easy when you live in Australia. There are many Greeks living in Sydney and in Melbourne. Learning Modern Greek will assist you in the tourist industry and in certain firms that require someone who knows a foreign language.
