Le Pourriel
Today, I received my first piece of Spam in French, which obviously shows that this site has reached the spam spiders. It's a standard 419 'you have won the lottery' scam (below), but it inspired me to look up the French word for Spam. Sadly, it appears to be 'le spam' though the Academie suggests that it should be 'le pourriel' (a portmanteau word combining 'poubelle' (dustbin) and 'courriel' (the 'official' word for 'e-mail)). Surely it should rather be some variant on 'le pâté'?

Jouer au Cricket...
Tu aimes jouer au cricket?
(What follows is not proper cricket- or French; but it's entertaining!)
Papa joue au Cricket. C’est une grande allumette- une deux-jour allumette.
Papa est dans le pré tout le premier jour. Il laisse tomber deux attrapes, et manque trois balles dans le profond, qui vont à la borne pour quatre. Beurre-doigts!
Son capitaine le met sur à bouler. Il boule deux larges, et trois pas-balles. Il est frappé pour six. Il boule des plein-jets et des long-sauts et des demi-volées. Il est ôté. Il a l’analyse- Pardessus: 3; Pucelles: 0; Courses: 38; Guichets: 0
L’autre côté accourt une vingtaine de haute taille. Papa s’assied dans le pavillon. Il est dernier homme dedans. Il regarde son capitaine, qui fait un siècle. Après un premier guichet debout, les guichets tombent.
Le filateur en prend quatre; un attrapé à court troisième homme, un dans le ravin, un autre à niais moyen-dessus, et le dernier vaincu par un qui va avec le bras.
Le marchand de vitesse fait le truc de chapeau parmi les lapins: un joliment pris à jambe-carrée, un dans les glissades, et l’autre battu et boulé tout au dessus de la boutique.
Les joueurs courent. Le guichet-teneur casse le guichet. Celui qui court n’est pas dans son pli. Il est couru dehors.
Papa est dedans. Il saisit sa chauve-souris. Il marche à la poix. Il prend milieu et jambe. On boule. C’est un casse-jambe. Papa ferme ses yeux. Il coupe en retard. Il manque. On boule. C’est un Chinois. Papa ferme ses yeux. Il accroche. C’est un coup de vache. La balle lui frappe le genou. Le pré hurle, “Comment ça?” L’arbitre lève son doigt. Cloches d’enfer! Papa est dehors, jambe-devant-guichet. Il n’a pas cassé son canard. Hélas!

French Blogroll
Many of the links and items on this blog have been inspired by those intrepid modern language teachers in the wider UK 'blogosphere' who are doing exciting things with Web applications to enhance their language teaching. I have added many of the most useful to the 'blogroll' on the right of this page, which alerts us to new entries and provides a link to the blog. Why not visit some of them...?

This site is not very French at all, but it should give some useful ideas for creating dialogues with puppets:
In fact you can make your own videos and add your own dialogue- not just in Icelandic!
