Perhaps I should have remembered that all of Katherine's lines in 'Henry V' are in French before I agreed to play the part....

Well.

I've got 5 months to learn two scenes. I can do that. The fact that I don't know a blessed word of the language means I have no bad habits to unlearn. Right?

Anyone want to coach me on my accent? I warn you, it's likely to be beastly.....

Be giggly, and try to extend your lips as though to kiss someone when you speak... except when you are trying to say English words like foingres (fingers).

n.b. the English word 'foot' sounds naughty to the french.

And the French word "fuque" (seal) sounds naughty to the English.
