We look at the history of the English language and particularly why there are so many French words and expressions in English. We'll also discuss the Anglo-Saxons, the Vikings and more. In part two Jon and Gideon look at French expressions that we still use in English today. If you're a native speaker or you're learning English you'll find this interesting.
