Is French Still Relevant in the Americas Where English and Spanish Reign?

There is no doubt that English is spoken everywhere you turn in the Americas.  Behind it is its cousin, Spanish.  Now the question to ask is why French, a language loved by most school children and tourists to Europe is not embraced as well as English.  In the Caribbean, you can find Haiti and the French overseas territories, Guadeloupe and Martinique as places where the language is spoken.  In Louisiana, some French is spoken too.  In the Americas, the other country that places a huge emphasis on the teaching of French is Canada.  Les Quebecois make sure that this language is treated just like English or any other language.

Because French is not embraced like English, that does not mean that it is not important.  It is one of the major languages of Europe.  After all, a large group of people speak it from Europe, the Americas and Africa.  There are many countries that speak French.  Mostly, the former colonies of France still speak French.  Even in Indochine, such as Vietnam and Laos, you can still find the vestiges of the language on the Asian continent.  More and more emphasis should be placed on the study and expansion of this beautiful language of Moliere.
