History of the Language:French is one of the worlds great languages, only by English as the language.
Besides in France itself, French can be heard in several other European countries, widely throughout Africa, and also in various places. In addition, it is the second language of Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, and many others.
French is one of the romance languages, descended from Latin. A number of people from the history favoured the North and Parisian French gained ascendancy over the others.It is the mother tongue of about 75 million people, with millions more familiar with it as a second language.
French Writing:The French alphabet is the same as that of English, though the letter w appears only in foreign words.Acute and circumflex accents are used and the mark appears under the letter c when adding a, o or u to indicate a s sound rather than k.
French spelling generally reflects the language as it was spoken four or five centuries ago, and is therefore a poor guide to modern pronunciation. Silent letters abound, especially at the ends of words. But a normally silent final consonant is often sounded when it is followed by a word that begins with a vowel.
French Words: Words such as Oui/Non mean yes and no.Comment allez-vous? meaning how are you?. Très bien, merci meaning very well thanks. Où?-where, Quand?-when?. Even words like Ça me plaît, meaning i like it.
