You need to put in a translation, for those of us who don't speak French. I have a helluva time with French pronunciation, too... I thought my mother was going to have a stroke, from laughing so hard at me, the first time she heard me trying to pronounce enciente

...the cat on velvet pattens stole along the quiet hill. "And this" she whispered "Nephew, is the way to stalk your kill..."

Mine wasn't up on the list...

Omelette du fromage!!!

Besides, French isn't my thing. I'll stick to my near-worthless Spanish or extremely rusty German.

Mi pene es el pene del fuego!

Du bist eine fette sow.

Stuff like that...

I don't like French people. I also don't like their language. So I guess I can't really vote on this one
