Voulez Vous Couchez Avec Moi, Ce Soir?

I was reading Carrie Coppernoll’s column in the Oklahoman the other day where she was writing about June being National Learn French month. You gotta love that. National Learn French month. Because Learning French is really important and it needs a month dedicated to its cause. Carrie thought it was important for us to take a moment and learn a few important French phrases in honor of our friends across the pond.

I totally agree, so here are some sentences we, as Oklahomans, may need to know.
