    There are not many compared to the thousands of French words.

    Excuse me, but:

    Anglo / Saxon is part of the germanic languages to begin with; Most English words share a common origin with German words. Also I would say that half of the words most people identify as 'French' are originally Latin ....

    Anyways ... I agree, I like how they integrated some German words, especially in the states, especially words that Jewish immigrants brought with them. ( Spiel for example )

    In spite English originates from Germanic language so many words look like French words and only a few like German. Learning English you always can relay on French vocabulary.

      In Germanic.
      spite French ( Originally Latin )
      English Germanic / Roman Latin
      originates Latin
      from Germanic
      language French ( Originally Latin )
      so Germanic ( literally German)
      many Germanic
      words Germanic
      look Germanic
      and Germanic

      ... I think I have proven my point.
      French language only made it into the British kitchen really :P

      It really triggers me, when people see 'french origins' to a word, when really it is a common origin in Latin ( Italian ) language they recognize.
