More than 220 million people speak French on five continents. French is the second most widely learned foreign language after English, and the sixth most widely spoken language in the world. The ability to speak French and English is an advantage on the international job market. French is the international language of cooking, fashion, theater, the visual arts, dance, and architecture.
Mandarin Chinese is the most widely spoken world language, used regularly by more than a billion people. Knowing the language can open many cultural and career opportunities.

Spanish is also a language that can be used frequently at home, as 17 percent of U.S. residents (and growing) are Hispanic.
