Bienvenue et Appréciez! Deanna's French Wiki FRENCH AND THE WORLD: Around the world, almost 200 million people speak French. Next to English, it is the most commonly spoken, taught, and influential language. Worldwide organizations such as the United Nations, World Health Organization, and World Trade Org. all use French as one of the official languages. France is not the only mainly French speaking countries; other countries that have French as the official or popular language are called francophones. Francophone countries include: areas of the United States, Canada, Guadaloupe, Haiti, Madagascar, Belgium, Luxembourg, Monaco, French Guyana, Coté de Ivoir, and Vietnam.

I'd love to travel to Guadeloupe, Canada, and Monaco to learn French and see the culture. Guadeloupe is a place I never would have guessed would speak French. It is located east of Central America in the Caribbean Sea. Just for that fact I want to travel there to its tropical landscape. I also am interested to see their spin on the language. 



Next to France, Canada has the largest population of French-speaking people. They adapted it into their own version called French-Canadian, and because of that many other areas and states have developed large numbers of French speaking people. I want to see how their overall culture is different from America's and see some of the history that is evident throughout the country.



Monaco is the final place that would be amazing to travel to. It's the second smallest country in the world-about 1.5 square miles, which for some reason is really interesting to be in. Even though it's so tiny, it is full of gorgeous coastline, and is found right next to France. 

I like French, because of the beauty of how it sounds around the world. Merci Beaucoup for reading!!! :)
