Knowledge of French is currently an asset in South Africa with its fast developing political, economic and industrial relations with Francophone Africa and France. In addition, the study of the world of thought, the culture, history and traditions lying behind a foreign language like French, enriches the mind of the learner and promotes creativity, mental flexibility as well as an understanding for cultural differences. French, as a subject, pairs well with other subjects such as Linguistics, International Relations, Communications and Politics.
