parler français / parler le français

parler français / parler le français

Si les gens parlent le français dans ton pays,


I thought I heard the "le" but have learned not necessary with parler + language.  Was I marked wrong only because it was said, or does "si" make a difference?

Bonjour Patricia, 

I couldn't find that specific example in the lesson, but all the examples we use with the verb parler are with the 'le' or without it, as this is what happens in everyday speech.

Bonne Continuation!
