Episode 22: We are joined by Luke Thompson from Luke’s English Podcast to tackle this question, and he should know the answer.
After all, he has spent a lot of time teaching English to French people.
This guy is a podcast pro, unlike me (I even called him Paul at one point in the chat, despite his name clearly being Luke), and he has done hundreds of episodes over at Luke’s English Podcast. He even has a mug (see mug above).
Have a listen to us discussing the topic of French people speaking English, the immortals at the Académie Française, and the reasons why French people don’t like their accents.
