Why learn French
August 04, 2026 - 09:25 AM
Did you know that French is spoken by nearly 300 million people across 54 countries on five continents?
From Paris to Montréal, Dakar to Brussels, Tahiti to Madagascar, French opens doors to a vibrant world of cultures, travel, music, film, cuisine, business, and international careers.
French is also one of the world's most influential languages. It is an official language of the United Nations, the European Union, and the International Olympic Committee, and—alongside English—is one of the primary working languages of the European Commission.
Whether you're dreaming of studying abroad, working internationally, or simply ordering the perfect croissant in Paris, learning French is your passport to the world. And I assure you: one day, you WILL go to Paris! :)
Mt. SAC offers beginning and intermediate, university-transferable French language courses that include both verbal and written learning, including an extensive web site with sound and video files to help students learn pronunciation, taught by native speakers in both English and French. And the best news is the e-textbook is FREE!
