    There are over three hundred thousand million people speaking it. On all continents. It’s fairly useful. Maybe you should travel more.

          Looks like if I want to learn French, I’ll be able to speak it in:

          -France -A few place in Canada -France’s colonies in Africa -A tiny country in South America most people can’t name by looking at this picture

          I rest my case. French people are pretentious about the significance of their language. They don’t want to admit it’s a niche language and they want to waste people’s time learning it in schools.
