There is always something exciting happening in the Francophone world: the French Open Tournament, the Tour de France, the Cannes Film Festival and more. Did you know that French is also the official language of the Olympics coming to Paris in July? Whatever your interests or hobbies, there's something French for you to enjoy.
More than 100 millions tourists visited France in 2023. If you also feel the pull to discover City of Light (or Love), marvel at the impressive châteaux or wish to bask in the sun on the South's Mediterranean beaches, be sure to learn French and gain a whole new level of appreciation during your next trip.
Knowing French will unlock an even deeper appreciation of culture - particularly of France's renowned cinema, gastronomy and theatre - as you experience it in its intended form and enjoy the subtleties that can get lost in translation.
French is spoken across all seven continents, is the official language in 29 countries, and is spoken in another 24 countries as a second official language. With the number of French-speaking African communities on the rise, it is estimated that 700 million people will be speaking French in 2050! After English, French is the most-learned language in the world.
While learning French certainly requires effort and discipline, you might be surprised by the amount of French you already know, simply
because you speak English. Nearly 30% of words in English are of French origin, and many others closely resemble French words
because of their shared Latin heritage.
