Tunisia: French language no longer a la mode? • FRANCE 24 English
Переглядів 5,095
Рік томуIn Tunisia, the French language appears to be losing its appeal among the youth -- at least in the classroom. In final highschool exams, nearly 70 percent of students get below average scores. Several factors are at play, including a suffering public education system, curriculum changes, and overworked teachers, but, perhaps most importantly, a growing demand among youth to learn English.

English is today's lingua-franca, and more valuable than french. I can tell that English is my 2nd language after Arabic. ENGLISH must be used as a second language in Tunisia and in all African countries as a second language instead of french.

No. English is disgusting. African countries if they are against colonialism should also be against english and reject it

so France colonized Tunis and then forced them to learn french and now he wants them to continue speaking french?

Even better, learn both - English is useful and French is an impressive language to know.

If I have to learn languages aside from my native language (in my opinion). I'd learn English for global businesses, entertainment and science. I would learn Spanish because it's my favorite sounding language (in my opinion) Spanish sound are more beautiful than French. I'd learn classical latin and greek because learning languages is my hobby however it may be very hard to learn. I'd never learn French because it's not used globally as English does (in my opinion) Spanish may be more used and more speakers than French. Second thing French sounds are very ugly to my ears. I'd learn Chinese instead of French.

I had never been too Tunisia but with Algeria they are close neighbours to Algeria and support the views in changing too English why not I never speak French but know very little words in Arabic and yes support Tunisia all the way to be like Algeria not saying they have to be like Algeria but change from French to English.

I'd do French over Spanish. French colonialism spread french around quite a bit. Also there are many different "Slavic" languages not just one. Same with "middle Eastern".

@@wom_Bat that is just preference, personally i don’t like the sound of french, i prefer the sound of Arabic, Russian and chinese mandarin. still though french is widely spoken in Africa but for how long? as the Africans wake up and become more independent and france becomes less powerful, french influence will deteriorate and the Africans will prefer to learn English because of business and Arabic because of religion/islam and other local languages because of cultural identity!
