Benefits of learning French

Do you know that 40% of English vocabulary has derived from French and found in English in areas, like government, law, art, literature, cinema, cuisine, and so on? It is estimated that English speakers who have never studied French already know 15,000 French words. That means you do not need to start from scratch.

Do not miss your opportunity! Later in your life, you might be offered a government position or might need to communicate with clients, access information or do some research in French or might have a possibility to work, study, and travel abroad. Studying French at the secondary school will give you a great deal of credits.
