Quack-quack.
What? C’est quoi, ça?
Ducks say that.
Mais non, madame. The ducks, they say “Coin-coin.”
American ducks say “Quack-quack.”
Your ducks, they have an American accent?
Au contraire, your ducks have a French accent!
No matter. This petite salade says nothing!
Forty, c'est Fantastique ! 
Light, bouncy and very well written! Really enjoyed this piece :))

Heehee…Have you ever watched the movie BABE (the sheep pig)? Farm Wife: It’s duck a l’orange! Farmyard Duck: Her name was Roxanne.

I’m having a hard time believing this conversation didn’t actually happen. That’s how genuine it feels. Loved it, especially because it reminded me of how absolutely mind-blowing it was to find out that animals say different things in different languages!

Absolutely fun! Gargleblasting (that’s a verb now, right?) and ducks are always a fun combo 🙂

A fun piece! I once saw a list of what “cock-a-doodle-do” sounds like in a whole bunch of languages. It’s funny to think of them as having different accents.

Très amusante cette petite salade franco-américaine de mots de canards ! :=)
J’ai appris comment reconnaitre un canard américain quand j’en rencontrerai un !
A son accent bien sûr ! (quhahack quhahack)
Et la façon américaine différente de nous pour présenter un cri d’animal :
The ducks, they say “Quack-quack.”
Les canards font “Coin-coin.” > les français employeront le verbe “faire”
