In learning a language, we cannot do without understanding and mastering culture. Therefore, when learning a foreign language, we need to not only master the language itself, but also understand the culture of the country in order to improve our intercultural communication ability. In foreign language learning in colleges and universities, French as a second foreign language course is a public compulsory course for English majors in colleges and universities. Teachers also have some shortcomings in teaching. It needs to be improved according to the actual situation in order to better promote students' learning.
