In this context, an individual should speak at least one foreign language. The French language plays a vital role in the world today as it is spoken on all continents by about 274 million people. It is one of the six official and one of the two working languages of the United Nations, as well as the official or working language of several international or regional organizations, including the European Union. The French-speaking community symbolizes cultural, linguistic and political diversity. Preserving this plurality is a challenge today.

The object of the article is to prove that studying a foreign language in an informal atmosphere in a multicultural club can be very effective.
