41% of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE is FRENCH. How did this happen?

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.
