What is the name of the dance where a french guy in a striped shirt fights with his girlfriend?

Oh, I know what dance you're talking about, and it's cool to watch, but I can't think of the name. They did a set of it on "Step It Up And Dance", you could probably find it by searching for the episode they did it on.


Name of a purple chemical used by the French to put in water to wash vegetables like lettuce?

while in Africa I learned that the French medics recommend the use of something that turns the water purple but then is used to purify vegetables before eating. I am looking for the mane of this product.

Name of a purple chemical used by the French to put in water to wash vegetables like lettuce?
This is the chemical, it seems to be quite poisonous, I did not know that, we used to purify our vegetables for years with this component that was called Kali or something similar. The real name is Potassium Permanganate:

Reply:I don't know the exact product you are referring to, but when I was in Mexico City I had a solution I bought at Wal-Mart that I used to disinfect vegetables. You don't actually use it to wash the vegetables, but instead you soak them in a mixture of this solution and water. As I recall, the solution I bought contained silver as a disinfectant, and it was kind of brown in appearance. It seemed to me that it was kind of a generic brand. So similar solutions are probably available under many brand names. Hopefully it will be available for sale in the area where you need it.


What's the name of the company that hosts conversation meetups between a French person and an Anglophile?

My question didn't fit in the question box. ..


I've heard that there are programs in Paris where an English-speaker who wants to learn French can meet with a Frenchie who wants to learn English. The two meet for two hours; they speak an hour of French and an hour of English. I want to know the name of the company that hosts this program, so that I can join. It's free, apparently.

What's the name of the company that hosts conversation meetups between a French person and an Anglophile?
I haven't heard of that specifically, but you might try www.meetup.com. By the way, I wouldn't call them "Frenchies"; it sounds a little derogatory. If you can't bring yourself to say "French people", then perhaps "les francaises" is acceptable...

What is the name of the beautiful blonde on the French channel on cable TV? I have not been able to google her

For years I've been seeing this beautiful French speaking girl on the educational channel and I have no idea what her name is. I don't speak French but I love to watch her anyway. I've tried googling every which way but to no avail. Just curious if anyone knows her name or knows of a fan site dedicated to her.
