I thought I would make a quick post about why you should choose to learn French over other languages, and compiled some fun facts and figures.
- French as a foreign language is the second most taught language in schools throughout the world (after English)
- 28 countries around the world have French as their national language, and is spoken on all 5 continents
- Many international bodies value French speaking job applicants
- French is widely spoken in Canada, which is the US’s largest trading partner
- There are 2300 French companies in America, employing over half a million Americans.
- Speaking French is a skill valued by university admission bodies
- French food and culture is renowned throughout the world. If you have never visited Paris, you are missing out!
As you can probably tell, I really love France and all things French. These are just a few facts and figures – Got any other good reasons? Post a comment!
