For at least a decade, which ended somewhere in the mid 1980s, all British schoolchildren were taught not just French, but Longman Audiovisual French, ...

I used to fancy Marie-France... grr....

Hover Fly has printed this on a card to show to anyone who tries to speak to me when we go to visit his ex-wife (whom I am quite friendly with) next month. I hope it stops any misunderstanding.

Je ne suis pas français, je suis irlandais, je ne parle pas français, le français est la langue de fous, d'ail-mangeurs, pédaliers, qui ont probablement assassiné leurs grands-mères et vu les cadavres de leurs chiens ..

Suppose french is easier to understand than one of the regional dialects that changes with the postcode here

They should welcome you with open arms and will hug you lots tho with that card (probably around the neck)

Does anyone remember what used to happen if you Googled "French Military Victories"

 

[Pat "5mph"]

je ne parle pas francais !!!!!

And that's your charm!
I was popular with the guys before I spoke fluent English, once I mastered the lingo they lost interest
This seems to be a frequent state of affairs for foreign girls, probably relevant to men too.

For at least a decade, which ended somewhere in the mid 1980s, all British schoolchildren were taught not just French, but Longman Audiovisual French, a cutting edge combo of green illustrated textbooks and ‘slide tape’, the technologically cumbersome combination of a strip of celluloid with pictures on, mounted onto an overhead projector and manually wound on from one picture to the next by the teacher at the sound of the ‘bing!’ on the narrative soundtrack played on a big old blocky cassette player with integrated speaker. Stars of this low-tech son et lumière were La Famille Marsaud, a rather starchy small town petit bourgeois nuclear unit, drawn in an appropriately stiff manner with lots of awkward sideways-on posing. Sadly, Les Marsaud never seemed to get up to the sort of racy activities The French were supposed to (at least, according to Tom O’Connor and BBC2 film seasons). Monsieur Marsaud was always dans le jardin, Madame Marsaud perpetually dans la cuisine. Scallywag son Jean-Paul was forever en retard pour l’ecole, and the Jane Birkinesque Marie-France spent a suspicious amount of time hanging around with Monsieur Lafayette, le facteur. Then there was Claudette, who, er… skipped a lot. Life in provincial France was, the hapless student couldn’t help but conclude during a long Thursday afternoon of ecoutez et repetez travail, rather dull.

Don't forget the dog, Bruno.
This made us laugh cos the only French kid at school was also called Bruno.

Je parle Francais comme une vache espagnol. One day I will get my language off pat.

If you want to sound like Maurice Chevalier, just sing..."Sang Kevin, four ladle gulls"

Seeing as this thread has turned into how much French you speak, mine is about zero.

However the only thing i know is how to count to five.

I told this to a French lady i knew a few years ago and she liked it, so......


There where 3 cats, their names, une, deux, and trois.

But try as they might, none of them could swim.

One day they all fell into the river

And

Une, deux, troix cats sank.

P.S. I did German at school, so this is one of the few bits of French I know too!
