Yes, it is true. Here is the proof from the Bridge of Alexander III. The medieval french knew it was coming and managed to represent it in the statue, a minor one at that.
My third week of French started yesterday but to be fair last week was only three days. Unfortunately it has caused me to develop a delayed onset of a form of Tourettes or as I like to call it: Tourettes Francais. I know what I want to say and as I start to say it, it comes out as,
"Je suiss f**k (I know that word), Non J'ai didn't mean sh*t-, no, no Je didn't mean tu or is that vous? Cr*p ou Merde, etc......"
Finally I am reduced to pantomime and the frenetic waving of hands and arms with lots of eye brow action.
There are a couple of other people in the class who are struggling but they are already using a second language (English) to understand French!
Ooh La, La ! (Yes, they really say that.) .
