Oh & I don't think Skye is that pretty - not in comparison to Heather.

Sabrina's French sounds fine to me. I can manage in French--not great but can manage so she sounds great to me.

I don't know about the french, it gets on my nerves when they speak it. i just think it sounds dumb.

As far as your comment on Skye, I don't like her either. And yes Heather is much prettier. There's something about Skye that don't look natural. I think it's her teeth that look fake or something.

Sabrina's French is perfect. She has no accent at all. She speaks French French, not Canadian French. And surely not Québécois.

Braeden (Victor) is of German descent, so he speaks French with a wee German accent. But he is very understandable. And he must practice at least these words before going on camera.

The worst was Lily, and also Dru when she tried it.

  • Just wanted to ad that, although I am French speaking, I am getting pretty tired of all these 'French implants' in Y&R. What will they do when they show these episodes in French in France and Canada? There will be no point in speaking French in these dialogues. - Marilou

    Sabrina's is perfect, Victor's is so so. It doesn't help that he mumbles and slurs.

  • Victor doesn't seem to have much of a vocabulary in French. It's always the same very basic French 101 phrases. ~i&b

    Sabrina's French is fine, I'm sure she could speak it all day long, but TGVN's is quite elementary from what I've been able to hear.
