    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 that also speak English

          -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 canadians are pretentious about the significance of the french language. They don’t want to admit it’s a niche language and they want to waste people’s time learning it in schools because they had to waste their time learning it. They don’t want to admit it was and still is a waste of time and energy for those who are not predominantly interested in specifically French/French canadian culture.
