Abstract:
Parlez-vous français?
It's difficult at Sam Houston to get a "oui" in response to that question. Why do you suppose this is? Some would speculate that the reason for this is a lack on interest in the French language. Others would argue that because we're in the south French is less relevant to our everyday lives than perhaps another language....

I support our Foreign Language department's teaching of French, but to declare that French is more valuable to a graduating student than say Chinese is foolhardy.
