Word facts and language fun: this is a channel dedicated to the quirks of the English language. It'll tell you where the words we use come from and why we say the things we say. I'm based in Berlin and a French speaker, so you'll also find plenty of videos about German and French as well. YouTube sponsorships: [email protected] Rob's Agent: Antony Topping [email protected]
