On Thursday September 26, our 1e students went to the Belgrade Philology High School for a meeting with the French linguist Bernard Cerquiglini. The meeting consisted of a fruitful exchange of questions and answers relating to the history of the French language and its evolution; the spelling reform, and the feminization of words. The importance and place of French in the world were highlighted. Mr. Cerquiglini reinforced their choice to master the French language and encouraged them to develop their linguistic skills in order to meet the challenges of the multilingual and multipolar future.
