National French language Day v1 Newsletter copy

Bonjour everyone!

On March the 20th we celebrate UN (United Nations) French Language Day. The event was established by the UN’s Department of Public Information in 2010 “to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity as well as to promote equal use of all six official languages throughout the Organisation”.

In 2010 the UN named six language days in recognition of the six official languages of the U.N. and to bring attention to the history, culture, and achievements of each of the languages. The U.N. selected March 20 for French Language Day in honor of the 40th anniversary of the International Organization of La Francophonie.

French is spoken in more than 25 countries, as well as on five continents. It is one of the most widely spoken languages used today, with over 275 million native speakers. But while French is only one language, there are many dialects, and the type of French spoken changes dramatically from France to Canada, to South African and Louisiana.

We have an exclusive 10% discount which is valid until midnight (British Time) on Wednesday 23 March 2022.

Those accents are accent aigu (é), accent grave (è), accent circonflexe (ê), cédille (ç) and tréma (ë).
