    Oh Frog! You are:

    1.) BRILLIANT – as usual! What fun that was!

    2.) ADORABLE – I could watch you and listen to you for days!

    3.) CRAZY – something I always admire in a human being.

    Kisses for those amazingly sexy French lips you have…

    You seriously should have your own cable show.

    Ok, curious minds want to know. Since you are the real thing, and you seem to be hip on all the language stuff, I would like to ask you what’s with all the noises you guys integrate into the French language?

    Well, there’s that oui noise, but it sounds like it’s an inhailed high pitched “oui.” And the “pop” or the “pff” to get the point across.

    What do they mean, and how many are out there?

    Maybe we get a lesson on FwtbTV on that?

    Your adoring fan in the other City of Lights.

    Ah does Jeffrey realise he said “Oh Frog! You are BACK” ??! LOL!

    I love the B&W effects and the harlequin face you have on that little clip. Of course, the rest just tickles me pink!! I laughed out loud (again) at work…ooops!

    Merci beaucoup! ;-P

    Ok darlin’ – I got it. I will try it out today at the boulangerie – perhaps this time I’ll get my pain pas trop cuite?

    Heh heh — that was hilarious – a spitting coffee on the keyboard moment.

    Wow! This is very helpful indeed!

    I hope future lessons will include such important phrases as “Bof,” “Ben…,” “Tsss” and, as Ang04 mentioned, the “saying ‘ouais’ while sharply intaking breath.”

    With your amazing lessons, I shall be eligible for French Nationality in no time!

    I think this is my favourite EVER episode of FWaBTV – practical yet insightful. But I’m concerned. Couldn’t that eyebrow business lead to a prematurely lined forehead? I’m sticking to the lip work for now…

    I think the next episode should cover the ‘Gallic Shrug’, a most important gesture to be learned before one tackles any kind of French administration. It is especially effective when combined with ‘bof’ and a raising of the eyebrows.

    Funny, VERY funny French lesson. The lip movement and EXTRA muscles was something I detected RIGHT away, years ago, when I visited France for the first time, RIGHT AWAY! And I even told of my peculiar “discovery” to French people there who did NOT believe me but immediately thought I was trying to insult them ! … Your video lesson TOTALLY validates my observations. Merci ! A.C.

    Bahahahaa French is my first language, but I still HAD to make the faces.

    At which point I realised a work colleague was staring at me, looking rather puzzled.

    Damnit! You had me doing it too… I feel like an idiot now! 😛

    Brilliant! I wished I’d have known this in college… where I decided to study german instead of french. At least with german I could actually hear the words!

    I think your techniques might work better while eating oysters… something to consider.

    Merci beaucoup!

    So true! If I can expand upon your observation – while studying the language in France, I realized that I could fake my way through complex cocktail conversation with the lip, eyebrows and sound strategies accompanied with a few words usually in this order; et bon beh,(interject some part of the discussion) donc eh (interject), et puis eh (interject) , vous voyez, non? Et voila!, and end with circular logic.Tell me, did I not just make just the best argument for the discussion at hand? I most certainly did!
    A plus!

    Hello Frog, its me again, Sally, the American with the French husband. I don’t speak French but thank you for the lesson. I tried speaking this new french with my french in-laws last night (remember, I told they are visiting). I practiced the eyebrows and lips a lot before dinner so I could be good. I don’t think they appreciated it though. After dinner, my husband said “WTF is wrong with you?” My mother thinks you’re mentally ill.
