Do you speak French? Parlez-vous français?
Yes I speak French. Oui, Je parle Français.
You probably know more French than you realize!
There are many words of French origin in the English language. A little history will shed light on how this may have happened. In 1066 William of Normandy conquered England. Yes, a Frenchman conquered England. Voilà. At one point French was the language of the English court. All of this happened over many many years...but many of the vocabulary words remained in English, and we use them today.
If you google "French words in English"....hundreds and hundreds will come up for just the words that begin with the letter "A." About.com is an excellent source if you want to pursue this activity. (Calling all teachers out in Blogland)
