Obama Embarrassed Americans Cannot Speak French

that's really true Obama a tout a fait raison!!!

speaking a foreign language or not, at least we can speak our native tongue without the aid of a teleprompter

he's right. we are pretty uneducated/uninformed. dumbed-down as well. I'm not a democrat or republican or anything, but corporation have a way of doing that to people. ever seen blade runner?

He's got a point there xD

ALL TRUE !

Well, he's not wrong. It is pretty damn shameful that Americans are so uneducated.

Keilat: et je crois que, bien que tu aïes (< le subjonctif) fais un bon effort là, il est clair que tu nes pas vraiment français, mon ami. Mais ton français est très fort. Je suis impressionné.

Je crois que vous vous êtes trompé..enfin ça éprouvait ce qu'il voulait dire! But I do wish we Americans had more of a push to learn languages other than English because aside from being internationally polite, it's intellectually stimulating. Tant pis pour nous! :(

Nope. You made an even more basic error by saying I was wrong and then in your "corrected" version repeating exactly what I'd said in the first place! He said the sharp "u" instead of the "normal" "ou", therefore making "beaucoup" sound like "beau cul". But then what would I know? All I have are a degree and PGCE in MFL!

No the single u is pronounced very sharp and ou is pronounced normal u so you made the hypocritical schoolboy error
