If you’ve watched Netflix’s “Emily in Paris” (or really any show that’s set in France), you’ve probably wondered how the actors have mastered their French accents—especially the ones who are faking it ...
You might have seen the 'circonflexe' accent also known as the 'little hat' in French words like poêle, être, pâle - but where does it come from and does it serve any purpose in modern French?
