Frenching it up

I giggle all the time when I hear Shaun speak French. I don't know why, maybe because most of the time we look to each other in search of words, and during this video I see him looking up to someone for help. Also, he does the stereotypical guttural French 'ughhh' while searching for his next word. In case you didn't know, that is the sign you have officially made it over here. (Now if I could only get him to rock a 'banana hammock' we would be 100% French). Don't get me wrong, we speak pretty well, but there is always a part of us that is a little self-conscious speaking in front of others. I am sure there are many 'we go tomorrows' or 'we go yesterdays' that creep into our conversations but all in all, pretty happy with our language skills. With this video, most of you won't understand what is being said but it is just your run of the mill interview questions...introduce yourself, when did you start playing basketball, what teams have you played for (which Shaun used to hold the record for Frenchies but since he stayed at Toulon for 2 years, he has since lost his title), style of play, strong points of team, weak points etc.... And FYI, that is not a black 'beater' he is wearing, it's his practice jersey.
