Comment: France has almost entirely failed in its strategy to prevent English taking over as the lingua franca of the EU.

Fine, it is late than never, French people.



It was your forefathers who halted Esperanto in the Leagues of Nations. Find the records and read them.

To get rid of English in your country, get the Esperanto in the school as the second language, if not as the elective subject in the system for the French pupils to choose from a few like Hungary.

No point to cry over the split milk now. Le bygones be bygones, start now and fight for the right of your language.

The best is take the French out from the United Nations and this would repay the sorry of your forefathers who were greedy to control the world.
