An explanation for why I consider French to be a very difficult language

Kiki la cocotte :

From the movie "L'etudiante" (The student). give it 40 seconds to get to the point.

Very lovely, charming movie, btw, catches the mood of living young in the crazy, charming 80s quite well.

Et Sophie, mon belle amour...

"Could you run that past me one more time?" :rotfl:God. I think I'll stick with learning German thanks!

I think what he is trying to say is that stunning women are so distracting that learning a language becomes harder.

My French is weak, and if I would not know the german version of the movie with that tongue twister in it, I would have no idea what that story on Kiki is about, no matter the French subtitles they showed at that daring speed. In German it sounds charming as well, btw.

Don't stare guys - listen!

It's not actually a hard tongue twister, just hard to remember entirely. Not annoying syllables in there.

Les chemises de l'archiduchesse sont elles seches ou archiseche is a much harder one. Heck, it's hard to type.
