Love this interview. His adorable French accent is about as good as my Frenglish hehe. Sorbonne? Impressive. He's such an ambassador of learning languages, wonderful insights on what it means to experience another language, totally agree. Sometimes I rewatch my Atlantis DVDs with the French track just to hear what it sounds like in sci-fiction :o)
He speak french well, I'm very impressed! Franchement bravo Joe, j'aimerai parler aussi bien anglais que toi le français, tu n'as pas a en rougir! You can be proud of you :)
Very good! I agree with him that learning different languages allows us to think differently also. A language isn't just words or sounds, there's a culture behind it, ways to understand the world, to relate to things, mindframes, etc. The more languages you know, the more you open yourself to the world, and the harder it becomes to hold negative opinions of other cultures and peoples. And of course having French as my first language, it's always nice hearing English speakers giving it a shot. ;)
Although I'm French, I agree with many people: it's a hard language. Enlish is so much easier! But it sounds like Joe's got good basis so I'm sure that he would be perfect in French in no time.
@desolatefox He's not saying we should learn spanish so that they don't have to learn english. He's saying that learning another language is a good thing...that it gives you another view of the world that you can't get from the perspective of one language. He's saying that if you live here, you can have plenty of opportunity to practice spanish, so it makes sense to take advantage of that when learning a second language. In Canada he might have said you should learn French.
Je craque quand des célébrités parlent français, ça leur donne encore plus de charme. Sérieux,je craquais déjà sur Joe mais là, je suis tombée sous le charme. C'est bien qu'il ait étudié à la Sorbonne.
@LiunaTiger He says : "I studied at La Sorbonne, I like french's, but I forgot many french words." Just some sentences. He is pretty good actually. And yes, he's cute :p
He looks all grown up when he speaks french lol, otherwise he just always a kid....wow he lives in California whoooot....no wonder he always looks /lifted
Dommage qu'il "ait oublié beaucoup de mots français". Il aurait dû rester un peu plus longtemps et revenir plus souvent, ça lui aurait permis de parler le français quasi couramment et ça aurait été juste terrible de pouvoir parler avec lui en français =D
@oOMathiildeOo I see, thank you for telling :) (Personally, I know only some words and expressions and a lyrics-line). Yeah, his French accent is pretty good (I heard French accent for some time before).
Hey, at the beginning he says "I studied at the Sorbonne (french university in Paris), I speak a little french, I like french and I forgot a lot of my french too".
Hehe cute :) I wonder what he says in French (I know very little French only). It must be interesting when an English/American/etc actor speaks in a given language for those whose language the given person speaks in. :)
Joe ton français est bien, ce n'est probablement pas facile pour toi non plus quand on vit en amérique d'apprendre une autre langue sauf l'espagnol. Bonne chance pour l'apprentissage de cette langue pour tes enfants. Also love the way he speak english. Joe gives the impression that hes a nice person with the head not to overinflated by the hype. Being a male I think that he is kinda ugly! But maybe it has to do with my orientation! Dommage que Stargate Atlantis soit terminé.
Interesting, but gotta disagree with him on the Spanish thing. No reason for us to learn that language, people immigrating here should learn English. If I moved to a Spanish speaking country, you can damn well bet I'd learn Spanish.

He is soooo cute speaking french...and he did well (french is my born language)

He is, as I said. DAMN CUTE and right about learning another language making you pretty smart :-D

"we should ALL take a good look at some other languages" Yeah. Astrotometry, bitches!
C'est trop mignon :D
Je suis d’accords.

J'adore! son accent!..

About the importance of protecting languages all over the world from english supremacists.
This makes me want to learn French... can someone please translate what he said in the beginning? Thanks. =)
Hey, at the beginning he says "I studied at the Sorbonne (french university in Paris), I speak a little french, I like french and I forgot a lot of my french too".
Lol! xD Thank you very much. =)

@alexd163 I'm French and it is a Injure ?

Le français est une langue difficile... Même si je suis français ! :P
Viens au Québec! On va te réapprendre ce que tu as perdu!
Au Quebec vous parlez le Quebecois et non le vrai francais lol
@alexd163 C'est vrai que ça fait un son bizarre chez lui ^^
