History courses do not just teach you about past events; they teach you how to find information and process it to determine whether or not you can trust it, but above all, why. French is my native language, so for me it's simple, but since I've been teaching it, I've learned it's not quite so simple, so I would be delighted to teach it to you. French remains a language with a significant number of speakers worldwide; it will always be useful to you!
