Alizee: "Where do you come from?"
RMJ: "Finland"

Did she need a translator for that? No.

Therefore she can speak English. It's just a matter of how much she knows off the top of her head. Case closed!

And if she was willing to talk to RMJ (several times) over the years, I'm more than sure she would like to (and did) talk to Scruff.

His statement is clearly, obviously wrong. He doesn't know. Of course, anyone who knows Alizée well would know.
You crack me up.

I don't understand the point of sharing "inside information" if you refuse to back up the claim and give us condescending one-liners when we ask about it. You might as well just keep quiet unless you're trying to mess with us, which is equally useless.

I don't understand what's funny. If there's some underlying humor I'm not seeing please do explain; I'm not very intelligent, you see.

Mon Maquis, how do you know that she speaks english? That is news to me and I'm curious to know where you found that out.

The humor is that Mon Maquis lives in Florida, and grew up in the San Diego area. I do also believe that English is the only language he speaks fluently.

Quite frankly he is probably the only one on this site who has sat in on meetings with Sony with her. Along with many other things such as actually talking with her in person.

<a href="http://sg.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080717062214AAJe8Pg" target="_blank"><b>Why do most french people refuse to speak english?</b></a> Quote:
I'm French so I can answer. A lot of French people feel ashamed to speak English, because even if they can understand, they don't feel comfortable enough to speak. Plus, a funny thing is that even if most foreigners like the French accent, our accent is considered as a bit ridiculous to ourselves. I can speak enough English to answer a question in the street and I still find my self ackward when I speak English, it makes me feel a little embarassed. If you go to Germany, Sweden, Norway ..., most people speak very well English because their language look like English. In Spain, Italy or France, we don't speak very well most of the time and always assume that no one could understand our English.

I'm from England, and the same is true the other way around. English speakers generally feel like they're mispronouncing words or afraid of making faux pas', simply because the sounds are massively different, despite English being heavily influenced by romance languages (French, Spanish, Italian, Latin). This is why a lot of people at my old secondary school (A specialist language school) found it much easier to learn German, as the sounds are more phonetically similar (on words that aren't exactly the same in both languages that is).

Try getting a random English speaker to try and understand the last few words of the second verse of Fifty-Sixty (Popcorn et Hula-Hoop). I doubt many would work it out, as the pronunciation is so different.

Also when you aren't fluent in a language, the speakers always seem to talk ridiculously fast. I guess more French people know English than the other way around, simply because a larger amount of people speak english, so knowing at least a few basic phrases could be helpful.

As my dad put it "I only remember the most important question in french: Parlez-vous Anglais?" Saying that, I'm still trying to get fluent in French.

What part of Italy are you from Aldighieri if you don't mind me asking and maybe you could explain your avatar. Did you by any chance see or know of Alizee when she was in Italy in 2002 and 2003?
