Do you know what unites such outstanding and yet diverse people as Claude Monet, Louis Pasteur, Alexandre Dumas, Coco Chanel, Claude Debussy and Alain Delon? Or what do such unsimilar countries as Côte d’Ivoire, Canada, Haiti and Luxembourg have in common? The answer is – the French language.

Spoken by 180 million people on all the five continents of the globe, French is one of the two official languages of the International Olympics committee, as well as the unique language of the post and of ballet. What’s more, it is a major language of education, cinema, literature and theatre.

The ability to speak French not only connects you with the great culture that has developed in France, but it also expands your horizons and opens you up to three dozen countries where French is spoken as the primary language.

Finally, speaking French gives you new opportunities for education and employment in your own country. Many universities worldwide have courses in different subjects taught exclusively French. And when it comes to applying for a position at a subsidiary of a French company in your country, speaking French is irreplaceable.
