Ep 3: The Adventure of English

The story of the English language is an adventure in itself, full of invaders and their appetite for domination. Luckily, English not only survived but absorbed countless words from the conquerors throughout the centuries to become what we could call the language of the world.

In this episode, I talk about the twists and turns of this fascinating adventure and share a bit of my own “debut” – yes, French origin – in an English-speaking country.

The book mentioned in this episode, The Adventure of English: The Biography of a Language, by Melvyn Bragg, is also a TV series and it’s on YouTube: https://shorturl.at/yOwrJ
