Not really. However, a significant number of the original stock on the Univerz-Steinbruck-Wang Joint Venture #003 were Quebecois, who made up about 40% of those designating Canada as their country of origin, and their descendants have kept alive the language through the centuries since. This has helped French become the third strongest minority language of Frenequesta, after Equestrian and Japanese. Outside of operatic productions, however, this has rendered Freneq French more similar to the Quebec dialect than the Parisian one.

No.

How popular is French as a learned foreign language?
Not very. There was some early popularity when YellowApple, Inc. was dealing closely with Canadian interests during its process of acquiring independence, but since then most discussions have focused more heavily on English than French. That said, YellowApplan English does borrow some spellings of English terms from British English, which in turn borrows heavily from French influence following the Norman invasion of the British Isles.

More recently, some French terminology and loanwords trickled into YellowApplan usage via Equestrian during the YellowApplan Equine Influx; this has caused some slight resurgence of learning French as a second language, particularly among higher socioeconomic classes, but it otherwise continues to be a niche language for the most part, studied only by those who have significant interest (usually business-related) in a French-speaking country.
