There's something oddly fascination about watching a video in a language I can't understand in the slightest, that's been dubbed from ANOTHER language I can't understand.
What I did notice, however, is the hand gestures. Americans don't really do that--use their hands to talk, I mean. Watch a clip of an American talk show like "Good Morning America" and the difference is striking.
Kristin - but the video hasn't been dubbed ! Fred speaks Moroccan Arabic. I don't know if Moroccans make more gestures than the French when they speak. Maybe different gestures. Fred, whatever language he's speaking, always uses a lot of gestures, that's for sure !
Jeannie - yes, I'm proud. And it's true that he speaks very good Arabic (hmm, better than mine...)

Oops, I meant "fascinating," not "fascination."
How proud you must feel of Frederick. My husband says that he has done an amazing job with the Moroccan Arabic.
