why thank you for answering me this is

well I’m delighted to be here so much on

the theme of terrestrial foods

it’s been three months since I was doing

research on this topic i

reworked the text

many times for each my account

I even took diction classes

then yesterday I learn that this knock must

to be depressed and soft of the blow it falls

very badly because I’m not

anyone who excels at making

things at the last minute what is

a shame because it’s often

last minute that I get to me

motivate

enough to do it for example

I’m waiting for the last minute at the moment

where I puncture the slab to pull out a

pizza heaven froze and freezers

there I see that it is necessary to wait 30

minutes of freezing and his

thirty minutes after that I see I

read on the next line that it takes

preheat the oven for 12 minutes

ok so suddenly I spent the whole

day yesterday to go to sites

how to do in beauty toc in

French

I learned that it’s good to start

with a quote

so here I believe what I say I

do what I believe

victor hugo this is the quote this is

fact

ah I also learned that it takes

use the adverb the maximum

possible to look smart

so I made a list of adverbs

in order to be sure to have the minimum

union then actually absolutely

assiduously meticulously

inherently that’s it’s done

also and of course we have to do

a lot of breaks to accentuate the

about but the paramount thing for

make a good speech in French

unfortunately all opinions are unanimous

to speak French

so I spent the whole night

last to learn the language

French I stopped at dawn

in the chapter on the subjunctive

then I’m sorry I do advanced

do not think ok it’s a bit boring because

that I am not French speaking at the

base I know you say yes we know

it’s because of my accent I’m talking

not really like that ok I speak little

like Quebecers in the sense that

does not need subtitles but if

I beautify you see this kind

of action is often my friends

Americans he asks me if after 12

years in France

if now I’m dreaming in french

because apparently that’s the sign

we are completely bilingual but

no I still dream in English but

now I’m having a nightmare in French

and I say that because the tone that

goes into a new pic we do not speak

not the language corresponds a little to

the social age that we are given if you

speak like a baby you will be treated

like a baby

ok and when we get to this new

country

we are like a newborn we are

fragile we are open to all and we can

curry nose on his neighbor in a

restaurant and everything will be forgiven ok

truthful story miss water my

first flight new york paris i was doing

exercises in my language book

basic French how do you do this

who was preparing for the world that

was waiting for it in bo2 neuvirth a little bit

an airplane is a bit like the nine months

we pass in the belly of his mother

we do not have enough room to stretch

legs the food comes to us

and it’s already pre- chewed and

hears a male voice is source

a year that we do not see and who we

talk about things that are not at all

adapted to another level of

comprehension

I took intensive courses

French the day after my arrival

on the French territory but it has me

not helped too much because the language

French is like hands over

learn – it’s easy

of course there are two weird reigns

we discover the first week

like the fact that each name

and either male or female and all

that to logical autumn when array of

salvador dali hockey and the fact that there

two letters at the end of word

you do not think of everything I do not know

why do you want m I do not know

maybe it’s google to win at

scrabble

I do not know where she saw her

nasal because for the well pronounced

you have to own a

castle in the Loire Valley

but when we dig we discover

other annoying things as does

in French the preceding article

a colt corresponds to the people of the name and

not to the sex of the person who is

owner

I explain myself for example in English to

10.4 ie the hat 2 l but

because the word hat in french and

masculine you say his hat off

that does not solve the problem of who

belongs this fucking hat we get

speak no answer says that martin throws

the hand in Hungary we say martin on

specifies that it is in hand or rather under

hand because martin is a boy

because otherwise I wonder what

hand ines martin is that the one

students to his right françois and

xavier who fell asleep during the

history class or maybe it’s the

hand to cut that martin found in

the filled backs are in front of the house of

Mr. Chenonceaux did not stop xulu

who stinks of the fake hulk we do not know

to whom this asset is this famous

bored martin 9

in french we can not know my

difficulty learning French

certainly comes from the fact that I am

born in new york Argentine parents

with German origins and

Austrian

it means that

my parents speak a native language

different from their parents than me I

speaks another mother tongue than

my parents and today my children

speak another mother tongue that

me basically in my family we play a

huge arabic phone game to

through the generations

in reaction to all this mixture

linguistic

when I was little I thought I did not

want to talk about a kind of potpourri

languages

I told myself again only if all

the world is speaking its own holland and

well I too was a long one

did not look like any other long

existence on earth is the only one

only person who understood me

it was my mother thinking that they

were going to motivate me my dad was telling me

regularly speak another language

worth a million dollars to what I

replied every time I

would rather have a million

of dollars right now I was doing the

calculation with millions of dollars you

can easily afford a class

intensive foreign languages is at

me at least 950 thousand dollars that you

remains, including the one in the case of

course at the French alliance

you have only five hundred thousand left

dollars but it’s that even a good

case in our side my mother

worried not hurt

about my inability to repeat

the words that told me such a point that

to power if I was not hurt between

hearing-impaired she took me to see at

Christmas

today I still do not know what

that these three letters want to say in

the medical world

but it turns out that it’s the acronym

Mecquois form of pressed dough

watch out there who drew purple and

vegetables

you see we’re talking about foods

terrestrial anyway after tests

it will be true that I had no

hearing problem

today I still do not know if

my mother was relieved or otherwise

to the worried caucus after this diagnosis

she had to say to herself is what I

prefer my child to be disabled

of the ear or the brain it’s true

that a penny can do a lot of work and

make a lot of money while the

only way to succeed as

that behind the eyes these derneirs president

united states

it was the political moment of nice

short in France after a stadium where I

spoke like a baby

I went through other stages ago

had the stage towards 50 French where I

spoke well enough so that people

think I understand everything they

say and therefore no longer make any effort

to speak slowly and clearly about

blow me I had to do whatever

I understood that I had to

to master two sentences of facial expressions

enough going on everywhere who could walk

in any case I found as to

good enthusiasts omv have eyebrows

mine I specify market pretty well

that if the person announces the death of

his father or the purchase of a jet ski that

happened to everyone after he had the

stage to 8 years old French where I

knew a lot of bad words and I

thought I was taking pleasure in them

to employ

yet I do not have safety by

necessarily wisely

I remember once I was on

a vélib and someone failed me

crush with his car and I say

I’m going to make you cum that is more

a promise that an insult

honestly and today

i’m almost 13 years old french i ‘m

so at the teen stage where I want to

rebel against all if you understand

not my french

so you have a problem

ok by month in addition to the age that I have

I’m about to have the bar

french french mitzvah

for those who do not know a bar

mitzvah be a Jewish ritual or at 13

years a boy becomes a number for

that he must stand before any

his family his friends and god and read to

loud voice in a long who knows

barely

so this speech today is a

little like a bar but that is happy

for my bar mitzvah I prepared my

delivery at the last minute ago

a lot of land food

on the other hand, this speech is much less

lucrative like madame edouard

so even though I did not write this

speech for the money I still

loved doing it finally I think that

my father was right

a language is worth a million dollars

effectively

[Applause]
