In this episode of French Connections Plus, we explore the ins and outs of the French language. Once the language of diplomacy, French continues to be influential around the world today, though it can be very difficult to learn. Officials in France are eager to protect the language, especially from the influence of English, although many English words come from French, as author Anthony Lacoudre explains. Finally, we take a look at your questions about "tu vs. vous" and masculine vs. feminine.
