* French Idioms: Some French phrases sound strange to non-French speakers, but these creative expressions are common in the language.
* There are many other French cultural customs, such as the way the French speak and write the days of the week and months of the year, or express themselves in formal or informal expressions of saying hello in French, goodbye in French, and expressing gratitude in French.


French is a major language of international organizations such as the United Nations; and of countries in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. It has longstanding literary traditions and extensive musical applications. Typical contributions include questions about the language's geographic range; local dialects; and widespread use in business, dance and music, diplomacy, everyday life, modern writings, and scientific research.
