If you haven't seen this video yet, the very funny British comic Eddie Izzard has some humorous yet astute things to say about bilingualism.
Kalau video ini belum dilihat, pelawak yang sangat lucu, Eddie Izzard, mengatakan yang lucu tapi betul-betul mengenai bilingualisme.
이 비디오 아직 안 보이시면 너무 재미있는 영국 개그맨 Eddie Izzard 두 나라 말하기에 다해서 우습고 조심성있는 걸 말합니다.
"Je suis le président de Burundi."
"Je dois partir maintenant parce que ma grandmère est flambée." ㅋㅋㅋ
(Warning: some strong language, but nothing too extreme.)

Who Are The Writers?
Cody
Cody is a 19 year old male that lives in America and is currently studying Korean, Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), and Spanish. His main focus is Korean but he is also interested in Japanese and thinks Chinese sounds cool. Spanish is there because it is required for his college and he kind of likes it (a little bit). In his spare time, he likes to listen to music, watch movies, play video games, practice his languages (duh~), and Jog.
Joseph
Intro on the way!
Theresa
Theresa is a 20 year old female who lives in Singapore and is currently taking Korean as a third language, her first being English and second being Mandarin. She took Korean in 2005 and gradually fell in love with the language. Some of her favourite pasttimes would be reading novels, shopping and more shopping.
Hyunwoo(현우)
Hyunwoo is a 27 year old male who lives in Korea and speaks Korean as his mother language. He's currently studying English, French, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Indonesian, German, and Italian. He enjoys breakdancing in his free time (and always tries to make more and more free time for this!) and loves meeting new people and communicating in the languages he's studying.
Hyeyoung(혜영)
Intro on the way!
Ed
Ed is a self-described eccentric graduate student of linguistics from California. He currently focuses on Balinese and Indonesian, but has also studied the following: French, Japanese, Tagalog, Korean, and Abou Dida (in his field methods class). He is also an accomplished performer of Balinese and Central Javanese gamelan music and dance. On top of that, he's supposedly a really good amateur chef...
Max
Intro on the way!
Nicholas
Nicholas is 20 year old Filipino male living in the Gold Coast, Australia. He has called himself "The Language Freak," and most of his close friends probably agree that this name is appropriate. Aside from his native languages English and Tagalog, he can speak pretty good Mandarin and Japanese, and can survive with some Korean and Cantonese. He hopes to learn some Spanish too! The only thing Nick enjoys more than language learning is eating, and karaoke!

Haha. That was really funny ^^ I love Eddie Izzard. What I found cool though is that I don't understand french (cause I haven't started studying it), but I think I understood a lot of what he was saying.
Awesome xD Thanks for sharing it!
Thank you Ed for the video - I laughed soooooooo hard all throughout the video!! Haha. His French is not only very good but very funny too Hhahahahaha.
He's great. Who else can talk about textbook French and successfully segue into a French version of "Speed"? Pardonez-moi, "La Vitesse" ;)
