This one's for you Ali.
If you have 7 minutes to spare in your busy life... here's how much fun it is to make an appointment in French.
Caution: extreme boredom may result if you watch this video. If you don't have anywhere to immediately fall asleep, then wait until bedtime to watch. It's that entertaining.
3 things I learned about myself after making this video:
I say 'ummmm' too much.
I have a lazy eyebrow.... or a crazy high one.
I suck at French even more than I thought. When I get excited about understanding a sentence I respond with either "yes, yes, yes", "no, no, no", or "ok, ok, ok"... in threes.
In case you have no idea what I was saying, here's the translation:
