Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

so first off: français
(you gotta have the accent)

all three are possible, with slight nuances

the most neutral way to talk about speaking a language is without any article or preposition:

• je parle français

= I speak French

using the definite article "le" is possible, but is pretty rare these days. Historically it was used for when someone had learned a language as a second language:

• je parle le français

= I speak French (as a second language)

using 'en' defines the type of speaking you're doing and is probably used to contrast :

• je parle en français et pas en espagnol

= I'm speaking French and not Spanish

notably, this last one is simply concerned with the language being spoken and not with ability to speak
