The Council for the Development of French in Louisiana helps people in Louisiana speak and learn French. French is a language that many people used to speak in Louisiana a long time ago, but not so much anymore. The Council wants to help more people learn it so they can use it again. They have teachers who can teach people how to speak it, and they also hold events where people can practice speaking French together. The Council wants to make sure that French is not lost in Louisiana, and that people can still speak it and learn about the history and culture behind it.
