With the Scramble for Africa in the 1800s, France colonized much of Central, West, and North West Africa and also colonized Vietnam and what is now known as French Guyana at separate times. With such a long French influence, these countries adopted the language,and continue to use it today!

How many countries speak German and French?

Switzerland and Luxembourg are countries where both languages are spoken. Farthest east belgium is also German speaking (smaller community). The capital of belgium, witch is brussel, is french. And the north is dutch, witch makes belgium trillingual. I guess that makes it 3 countries that officially has 2 languages of french and German. (there might be more, but i doubt it) There are also universities that are both German and french, like neuchatel and freiburg in Switzerland, or university of Luxembourg. (and some other universities among the french German borders) Its often required to know both German and french to take degrees there. I myself am thinking about living near the triple border of belgium, Netherlands and German.(cities of liege maastricht and aachen) There, German, french and dutch is all spoken in the same place. Cant think of a better place to learn west European languages :)
