Capital Radio has today signed a memorandum of understanding with the French Embassy where Ugandans will be taught French as a language, French culture, tradition and style among others.
Capital Radio managing director Peter Mungoma says the yearlong program that will be aired every Sunday at 8; 15pm effective 20th October 2018 will be hosted by Sam Ayo and will go a long way in giving the listeners a chance to understand more the beauty of the French culture.
The French ambassador Stephanie Rivoal is now encouraging Ugandans to always tune in saying they will benefit a lot from the program. She adds that this aimed at also improving relationship between Uganda and France as nations. Rivoal notes that the world is quickly evolving and French companies are now hiring work force from allover the world and speaking French will be one of the requirements. She says the different lessons that will be taught on the show will expose the two countries to more cross tourism opportunities.
The ambassador says that increased knowledge in French will help Ugandans interact freely with their Francophone neighboring countries like Congo, Rwanda and West Africa.
The show will present a rather exciting and more relaxed way of learning the French language which Rivoal says is guaranteed not to bore listeners. She urges Ugandans to tune in.
Capital FM sale manager Dennis Sentongo says this is a great opportunity for Ugandans to listen in, learn the language and expand their chances of being employed in French speaking nations.
