LFSF @ the Bilingual Fair, Essay contest

LFSF at the Bilingual Fair

For the second edition of the SF Bilingual Fair, LFSF is once again a lead sponsor.

The adventure started last year, when French Morning decided to power a Bilingual Fair, similar to the one that has been a success for multiple years in New York.

Strong of the tight relationship we have with this national French bilingual news platform, the school decided to partner in this adventure as bilingualism has been the school's expertise for the last 50 years.
