This is our Top 10 reasons for learning French…

French: the language of lovers, spoken in five continents. The official language in more than 40 countries (including Canada, Switzerland, and Belgium).

French: one of the official languages of most international organisations (such as the UN and the EU), the second most commonly studied foreign language in the world (after English). So many factual reasons why French is THE language to learn.

Let’s forget these noble considerations and discover other (not so serious!) reasons why learning French is “le must“.
