I have been in France for about two weeks now and as I listen to French all day, I realize there is something I am obviously missing. I couldn't put my finger on it, but now I think I've got it...
I don't know how to do the French pout, or, faire la moue.
I believe that this is an essential part to, as strange as it sounds, having correct pronunciation. I have found that when I emulate what they are doing with their mouths, which to me looks like a flirty pout, I actually sound better! But alas, I'll just let Vanessa Paradis and Brigitte Bardot do the pout-y talking...
Tout a l'heure! (insert pout-y lips)
