Why learn French? French has a long tradition as a language of international diplomacy, and many say it is the language of love!
In any case, it is good to know this: French is spoken officially in close to 40 countries in all five continents. French is the most widely learned second language (after English). In addition to opening for you the doors of francophone companies in France, Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and Africa, French is the language of cooking, fashion, theatre, visual arts, dance and architecture. French is easy to learn, especially for speakers of English and other European languages, and learning French will make learning Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Romanian much easier for you.
