As a language teacher, most of the questions I get are from people wanting to learn a language because of travel reasons. There are a lot of other reasons, such as being able to communicate better with a spouse and some weirdos just want to do it for fun!

What surprises me though, is that not many people want to learn a second language for business purposes, so the purpose of this article is to enlighten you about the positive effects that speaking a second language will have on you.

When people say “Ok smarty pants, so which language should I learn for business purposes?” I often answer with French.

French is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Because of the expansion of the French during the colonial period, there are many countries around the world who speak French.

Large portions of Canada speak French as a first language, there are also many countries in Africa who also speak French, such as Senegal and the Ivory Coast.

Not to mention all the Europeans who speak French either as a first or second language, I don’t know the exact number, but it is very large.

So I’m sure you can see how beneficial learning French would be for anyone looking to expand their business contacts. If you want to learn French, I highly recommend clicking on any of the links within this article, or just read more about rocket french.
