I actually think that hearing French spoken with an English accent is worse.Originally posted by BlueHair View PostFrench is annoying enough, but hearing english spoken in a french accent is unbearable."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

I can't believe YouTube didn't have Monique's rant about Ricky's testicles. YouTube has let me down."It's devastating, because we lost to a team that's not even in the Pac-12. To lose to Utah State is horrible." - John White IV

Not sure if I should mention this. It might piss off everyone in this thread. I tried to learn French in Montreal. So not only was I speaking French in a Spanglish accent, I had to throw in the Quebec joual to boot. It wasn't pretty."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

I lived in Belgium for a couple of years and was told by our french landlady that my accent sounded like "a dutch camel." I was too intimidated by her to ask what experience she had with talking dutch camels.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View PostNot sure if I should mention this.

Later I served a mission in Quebec and found that my camel characteristics fit right in on this side of the pond. Now, whenever we travel to french speaking countries, the locals always think I am canadian, which can be good.
In general, I like the french accent.PLesa excuse the tpyos.

FTR, I never developed a French accent when speaking French. Even the last months of my mission I sounded American. I had the pronunciation correct, but the accent was just not my forte. I still can't do a proper French "r" sound.
One thin I found interesting is that the french consider Italian to be the language of love."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
