    She keeps the perfect amount of English in this. Catherine Tate is fluent in French and could have done the entire thing in perfect French but she keeps just the perfect amount of her key-words - "bovvered" instead of "ennuye", "disrespecte" instead of "irrespect" etc - so that even people who know little-to-no French can still understand and enjoy it

    As a yank, I love this take on language.

I admire bilingual individuals . I am actually very impressed and proud of the variety of the people whom make up my community. I have over the decades noticed how, by the 3rd generation or so, most families seem to drop the old country languages and how many words or terms get picked up by others. I'm 7th generation Swiss/German/English, who favors curry dishes and Mexican food. I hope our world continues to blend. A real culture becomes so much more interesting and sustainable from building upon each other. There's an edge at times, but it's worth every bit. I would love a look at our future just to see who we will be.
