J'adore le français expresses a stronger, more passionate affection than j'aime le français, which means "I like French".

English speakers often mistakenly omit the article le before français. However, the article is necessary in French.

In French, when you say you 'love' a language using j'adore, you are actually using a word that stems from the Latin 'adorare', which originally meant to worship or pray to a deity.
The word français shares a root with the English word 'frank', meaning open and honest, which originally described the perceived freedom of the Franks.
While français refers to the language, using the word with a capital letter Français refers to a person of French nationality.
