Parlez
le Français
avec John et El!
(Speak French
with John and El!)
Here is
a list of the French words
and phrases in our song,
how to say
them,
and what they mean
in English.
In
French, the letter j (and sometimes g) is pronounced like the s
in the word "vision."
That sound is represented HERE by the letter combination zh.
