\"photo\"Discover a really fun video today, a bit in the style of the “Flight of the Conchords<\/strong>“, who knew\u00a0un franc succ\u00e8s\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>(a great success) a few years ago, especially in the beginner and intermediate level French\u00a0classes!<\/p>\n

If you don’t know “the Flight”, you\u00a0should definitely\u00a0check their\u00a0grand tube<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>(big hit) titled\u00a0“Foux de Fa Fa<\/em>.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

It makes\u00a0p\u00eale-m\u00eale\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>(higgledy-piggledy)\u00a0references to\u00a0“la baguette<\/a><\/em><\/strong>“,\u00a0“le jus d’orange<\/em>” <\/strong>(“orange juice”), “le pamplemousse<\/strong><\/em>” (“grape fruit”),\u00a0and even, go figure why,\u00a0“Monsieur\u00a0<\/em>Jacques Cousteau<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

Their English pronunciation, completely deprived of “Ze French<\/strong>” accent, gives it away almost instantly…<\/p>\n
