Questions

How many French-speaking schools are there in Germany?
We list 27, in 11 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Berlin, with 11 of the 27.
Is French unusual for schools in Germany?
39% of the 69 schools we hold in Germany are recorded as teaching in French. Each source records a language for its own reasons, so the figure reflects who publishes that information, not only who speaks what.
