P.s Welcome.

Interesting as the majority of people in Europe speak German. The French Language is like studying Art History: it's simply enriching and beautiful, however, absolutely no use whatsoever.

Can you believe France still wants to make "French" the official language of the European Union? With the amount of poeople that speak Germanic languages that is ludicrous (Germanic languages: German, English, Dutch, Dannish, Finnish)

If anything, English should be the "official language" in the UN. But I actually like the way it is right now; currently there's 23 official languages in the UN.
