French is a chic language and if you speak English, then you will know over 15,000 French words in the English vocabulary which were introduced into the English language via the elite Normans. Even the motto on the Royal Coat of Arms in Britain is 'Mon Dieu et Mon Droit'.

There's many French phrases used in the English language already, such as in cuisine, art, fashion, ballet lessons, etc.

When a French President arrives in the UK for the Entente Cordiale celebration between England and France, there is a grand reception, bandstands and parades. The US also receives the French President with grand receptions.

Whenever a French diplomat, or a French President gives a speech to an audience in French, it turns peoples heads and commands respect. It is the international language of diplomacy.

Regardless what one may think of Royalty or certain politicians within the government, it is interesting to observe that the Queen speaks in both English and French during speeches in Canada, and during speeches at the Entente Cordiale banquets, whilst the former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair also gave some speeches in the prestigious French language, which shows the importance of speaking in French.

Merci, our history was competitive and eventful, but I love the fact we have peace between France and England today, which is celebrated every year, for over a century now.

Together the French and English have achieved many good new things together, such as the Concorde and the Eurostar, for instance.

I value the cultural exchanges of the internet with other Europeans, but all my life I've been a Francophile and an admirer of France and her culture, language, and people. I've always been an admirer of both France and Italy. But I grew up on the south coast of England and feel closer to the French.

The importance of French language and why should it be adopted as a universal language.

'Being the second most taught language internationally after English, and having a readership and following which are commiserate with the number of its students, French is definitely the language to know these days. With English, French is the only other “international” language, being spoken in 5 continents. The international body supervising the following of French as a language is known as the International Organization of Francophonie, which has 51 countries as its member states and out of these 51 states, 28 countries have French as their official language.

The widespread use of French as a language can also be inferred from the fact that French, with English is the official language of many towering organizations of the world, such as the UN, NATO, UNESCO, the International Red Cross Association and IOC (The International Olympic Committee), to name a few. From a recent survey, it has been noted that almost 70% of jobs in the US require or prefer the aspirants who know French, other than English, which is a testimony to the importance of French.

The importance of French has demographic and economic consequences for major economies in the world, even the US. For example, French is the official global language of Canada, which caries out major trade deals with the US. The knowledge of French for traders to such countries becomes all the more important when you realize that Canada, for example, has provinces like Quebec, which trades more than 70 billion Dollars annually with the US, and the major international language being followed there is French.

Apart from the economic influence of French and France, there is a high degree of intellectual importance associated with French as a language and the French thought for modernism and secularism. French doctors and scientists have been the fore-runners of technology in the modern era. France has the largest R&D center on nuclear physics in the world and also boasts as being the site of the world’s first nuclear fusion reactor. The French doctors were the first to isolate the HIV virus from the body of an infected human being- a ground breaking attempt to find a cure for AIDS. In order to decipher all their findings and discoveries, to understand their intellect and to admire it, it has become inevitable for the intelligentsia and researchers of today to adopt French as a global language.'
