It has a long history as a language of diplomacy, literature, and science and is an official language in 29 countries. Moreover, French is a significant language in the fields of science and academia. Many scientific and academic papers are written in French, and French universities are recognized worldwide for their quality of education and research. In addition to its cultural significance, French is also widely used in international business and commerce. France has one of the world’s largest economies, and many multinational corporations have offices or manufacturing facilities in French-speaking countries. The ability to speak French can provide a competitive edge in the global job market.)”
