| French, the language of Diplomacy, International Trade and
Romance, is spoken by over 450 million people in 47 countries around
the world including: Canada, our neighbor to the north; the tropical
paradises of Tahiti, Martinique, and Guadeloupe, as well as many
Asian and African nations such as Vietnam, Senegal, Ivory Coast, and
Morocco. In Europe, French is spoken not only in France, but also in
Belgium, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. French is also one of the
official languages of the European Economic Community (EEC). France is world-renowned for her rich historic past and her
contributions to Art and Literature through the works of Descartes,
Molière, Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Sartre, Rodin, Renoir and Monet, to
name but a few of the many great French authors, artists and
philosophers. Everyone has heard of the delicacy of French haute
cuisine, the elegance of French fashions and the allure of French
perfumes from the boutiques of Yves Saint-Laurent, Cartier, Hermes,
Chanel, Christian Dior and Givenchy.
Who should study French? Students who are preparing for a career
in International Business, Travel, Diplomacy, Medicine, Scientific
Research, and Development or the Fine Arts will benefit greatly from
their ability to communicate with the French-speaking world.
