It sounded like Johnny was still out of breath from skating, so it might have been hard for him to concentrate on his French. I guess he's not fluent (he kept saying "I don't know" when he couldn't think of what to say-- "I don't know-- I'm happy.") but I'd also guess that he doesn't have much opportunity to practice his French speaking, unless he converses in French with Brian Joubert or Stephane Lambiel when they're on tour.
johnny is awesome in all these languages, french, russian, english-but keep in mind english doesn't have the male and female form of these things-it will trip an english speaker up thinking of meaning and not always gender-since you don't do that in english-anyway, just defending him-it's cool he tries
well, in Russian there is three genders (multiplied by six cases as in Latin), and he doesn't confuse them at all, speaks almost perfectly. either French skills are less polished, or he was just tired and/or excited
@handu2 I personally don't think it's funny, but others think it is cuz "Heureuse" is the "feminine" form of the adjective. "Heureux" is the "masculine" form. And he used "Heureuse."
you go girl.

I think he's the only American star who's gonna give an interview in French and Russian, so give him a fucking break!

what does "je suis heureuse" mean?? :-) i tried an online french-english translator and i got 'i am happy'... why's that funny???

He used the feminine form of the adjective.
musicgirl416 4 years ago 4
Because he say Heureuse...Heureuse it's when you are a girl and Heureux when you are a boy, John sayin' " je suis heureuse " and not Heureux ^^
CrunchPich 3 years ago
it means i am happy but ''heureuse'' is feminine and the masculine form would be ''heureux''.

Yeah, he studied linguistics at the University of Delaware, but dropped out after his first year to concentrate on skating. He speaks Russian also.
