Most of the French words we use today date back to 1066, when England was conquered by the Normans. After Britain was adopted by the French, the country came under the influence of the then leader William Fath. Later, when the French left the country to spend warm days, their language was much preserved. The similarities between French and English can affect your interest, and once you understand how many words are cut out, you may notice that you already know French well! Often, the spelling is the main difference between English and French words, and when you use a French accent, you can successfully convey the French word to a local person.
