Cool. I can still parle Franglais: it’d be nice to see what I remember from 3 years of high school French from [sub]mumbled number[/sub] years ago. Anything avian? ---

I’d like one please… something sexy I can say to my SO if possible. I took French for two years in High School. I remember a few dirty words and how to say “my name is,” that’s about it. ---

As I mentioned in [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=93635) thread, I think ChiefScott has me confused with Matt\_McL. Since I’m not above cheating, however, I would be happy to oblige. **screec-howl** , here’s one for you: Exactement quel oiseau est-ce que que je mange? Exactly which bird am I eating? **Shera** , here’s yours: Est-ce que ceci est le devant du maillot de bain? Is this the front of the bathing suit? ---

Hi, featherlou, you’re doing pretty well for a Saskatchewan native. 🙂 There are a few mistakes which I wouldn’t mind correcting (for a price, of course). Signed, A French teacher (retired) from Montréal, Québec P.S. I did teach French, but if anyone prefers a “joual” adaptation, I can work on that too. ---
