As a language, French is spoken on 5 continents and is an official language of 32 countries around the globe. French is the second most widely learned language globally after English, and the fifth most widely spoken language in the world. 56 countries are part of the francophone world, so French can be of great value in traveling or making yourself more competitive to a global company operating in the United States or abroad in the future. It is also one of the official languages of many international organizations including the United Nations, the European Union, the International Olympic Committee, the International Red Cross, and of the international courts. Learning French is the pleasure of learning a beautiful, rich, melodious language that also structures thought and develops critical thinking.
