Language Training

French is a Romance language and the official language in 29 countries. Compared to eastern languages, learning French is not that difficult. For the most part, French grammar follows the subject-verb-object word order as English. French vowels are a, e, i, o, u and y. Sometimes they can be written with marks above them called accents. They do not always make the same sound as in English. When combined with other vowels or consonants, they can then make a completely different sound. Until the early 20th Century, French was the language of diplomacy, and one of the two main languages of international negotiation. Presently, French is one of the six official languages of the United Nations, and one of the two official languages, with English, of the International Postal Union, of the International Olympic Committee, the International Red Cross, and other organizations.
