There are many personal reasons for wanting to learn to speak French. For one, it is a beautiful language spoken in a beautiful country. But there are many other good reasons to learn to speak French. As a second language, French is the second most frequently taught after English. Twenty-eight countries around the world have French as one of their official languages. English and French are considered the two global languages, spoken on five continents.
In addition, French is the official working language of the United Nations, NATO, the International Olympic Committee, the International Red Cross, and the European Community. And Americans have yet another great reason to learn French: their neighbor to the north, Canada, where French is one of the official languages. Learning French gives you a passport of understanding to numerous places all over the world.
There are probably as many methods of learning to speak French as there are reasons to want to learn it, but the Internet has made it possible for people anywhere to learn the language in a multimedia environment that maximizes the speed and efficiency with which you can learn French.
