French is a global language, widely spoken around the world, but it is also a language with deep American roots. French is consistently the second most popular foreign language among U.S. students. Our shared history and the presence of a significant number of heritage speakers of French support the fact that French is not a foreign language, but rather a heritage language of the U.S., and worthy of special status in the U.S.

I am non-francophone (Italian, American, and Jamaican), yet excelled in the French program and learned to speak fluent French. I now study at Harvard University, and carry my French with me today. My academic experience in the French IS program is dear to my heart, and prepared me from a young age to learn a beautiful language and study rigorously. It would be a huge mistake and huge loss to the community if this program were not given the appropriate funding it deserves.

It was by far the best academic program which allowed him to thrive and learn subjects not only in English, but also immerse himself in the French culture and language. I believe we were the only family that had neither mother or father with any speaking knowledge in the French language. We were told we didn't need it - that the child would learn it on his own. They were right. Not only did my son, Casey, learn French well; he won the French award by the Government Consulate 4, maybe 5 out of 5 times. It would be a shame not continue this valuable and richly rewarding program for the students. I feel it was instrumental in my son's acceptance into Harvard University.
