The study of a foreign language at Advanced level is both highly worthwhile and leads to a highly valued qualification. French is one of the world's major international languages: it is spoken by over 200 million people in 43 countries, on five continents. Knowing French increases your chances of communicating in a non-English-speaking country. The prestige of French art, music, dance, fashion, cuisine, and cinema makes French a culturally important foreign language. France is one of the most prolific producers of international films. French literature is one of the richest and most influential of the modern European world, featuring authors such as Rabelais, Racine and Proust. Several well-known philosophers were also French, including Descartes, Rousseau, Voltaire and Sartre. Approximately 45% of English vocabulary comes from French. As you learn French, you also enhance your grammar and vocabulary skills in English. French is an official working language in dozens of international organizations, including the United Nations, International Olympic Committee, and International Red Cross. French is the language of the three cities where the EU institutions are headquartered: Strasbourg, Brussels and Luxembourg.
