WHY LEARN FRENCH?
Education:
In Ontario, in order to get a high school diploma, one must pass one French language credit
course in Grade 9. That's it. It’s not too much to ask.
Historical Reasons:
Canada was colonized by France in the 16th century, and French became one of the main
languages of our country' protected by law, the official language of Quebec, and one of the
official languages in New Brunswick and Nunavut. French education is a protected right for
Francophone minorities in Canada. There are still pockets of Francophone communities found
in all provinces and territories. The Canadian population is roughly 23% French speaking.
It’s Global Use:
20 million + speakers in the Americas;
200 million French speakers
number 9 of the top 10 most widely used world languages
second most popular second language taught in the world
taught in every single country
525+ French language universities in the world
An official language of: IOC, UNESCO, Interpol, WTO, WHO, NATO, ISO, United Nations,
etc.....
Employment:
You are more marketable as an employee if you are multilingual, especially in business, tourism,
education, service industry, marketing, the military, law enforcement, government, and
communications... And you'll earn more, too!
World Travel:
It's spoken on every continent, and is a lingua franca of dozens of countries all over the world,
from Africa, Asia, parts of the US and South America, to the Pacific Islands, and Islands in the
Indian Ocean...
Neurological Heath / intelligence:
Research shows that a bilingual brain is more robust, better at problem-solving, less likely to be
affected by Alzheimer’s, dementia, etc.. And learning an extra language makes the next other
language easier to learn.
A valuable Life Skill
Learning to speak and think in another language makes one more tolerant, a better
communicator and listener, helps you see the world in different ways, and able to learn more
about the world in general. The skills you use in learning another language help you improve
your mother tongue language skills.
