The ability to communicate in a foreign language such as French has never been more important or useful than it is today. Overseas travel, particularly to France and Europe, is now commonplace for many companies, particularly since the advent of the Internet which has opened up a whole new global marketplace, like never before. In addition more and more people are discovering the importance of being able to understand the language, in order to make the most of an impending holiday.

French is the 11th most common first language in the world, with millions of speakers around the globe. Some studies tell us that there are:

113 million people who speak French as a native or adopted language fluently and used it on a regular basis
61 million people who speak French occasionally
100-110 million students who learn French.

French also plays an important role in a number of international organizations where it is one the main language spoken or interpreted to members, including:

Amnesty International
International Olympic Committee
North Atlantic Treaty Organization
Red Cross
United Nations
World Trade Organization

So despite its prominence in the world, for you, there are all kinds of reasons to learn French. When you learn to speak French you are able to increase the level of understanding you have with other French speakers. In fact, when you learn French language skills you can improve communication both orally and in writing, which will improve both day to day conversation when you travel and also if you are trying to negotiate a business agreement.

Speaking French is also a skill which will increase your marketability because employers often prefer candidates who speak one or more languages. The global economy depends on communication in other languages including French and this can place ahead of other candidates when vying for a role.
