As a bonus to all of my loyal listeners to The English Sessions I am offering the latest episode of Get the Word! before it's officially released on the Get the Word! with Mike Butler podcast. I also have an announcement. The English Sessions Patreon page is back! You can become a member for only $1(USD). It's simple to sign up, and you can cancel anytime. Starting today, the full audio transcripts of The English Sessions and Get the Word! are only available if you sign up to be a member of the English Sessions Patreon ( www.patreon.com/theenglishsessions ). However, all of the audio transcripts of previous episodes will still be free on the website, www.englishsessionswithmike.com Bonjour fellow word nerds. It’s Mike. I apologize already to any of my French listeners. Bonjour and Bon Voyage will be pretty much the only French words I speak today. I also apologize for starting right off the bat with the most stereotypical French music I could find. In all reality, I love French culture, French films and I love the influence that French has had on the English language.  In English we see many words that have derived from French throughout the centuries, of course, but we also sometimes use words and expressions when speaking English that are taken directly from French. Déjà vu comes to my mind right away. This term appears in English dictionaries, and is taken directly from French meaning ‘already seen’. Déjà vu comes to my mind right away.
