The Origins of and the Different Influences on Today’s French Language
French comes from the Romance language family of the Indo-European languages, which is divided into various groups of languages. French is a Romance language because it descends from Latin, the language of the ancient Romans.

5 Ways To Improve Your French Speaking Skills
Speaking is usually the #1 weakness for all French learners. This is a common issue among language learners everywhere. The reason for this is obvious: When language learners first start learning a language, they usually start with reading. They read online articles, books, information on apps and so on.
