This is the second installment of our Back to Africa series. This time you'll have to suffer through the unpolished English as our boys struggle through their first days (and exams) in school.

I love these! Love all the boys

Lovely! Just splendid! A real treat to see and hear them in this setting and learning situation. Am hugely impressed that the beginners' English is already so good...makes me lament even more being essentially another linguistically illiterate American. So what that I've studied Latin, French (fluent in college), Greek, Hebrew, a little German, a bit of Arabic, and a smidgeon of Czech - all gone now. Don't use it, you lose it. Such a fine thing BA is doing, both for the boys and ultimately for us when they bring their English to the screen. Kudoi all around! And what a hot and diverse bunch! Will be fascinating to watch their progress in skill and mood. Great idea!

Actually Luke's English is rather good. And I was surprised at how well some of the others were already doing. Remember this is the very beginning of the classes. I am embarrassed to say I know no other language than English. It is just wonderful that George has given these young men an opportunity to expand their horizons.

There's something about Philippe that reminds me of Brad Pitt. Hahahaaa. Do tell what. Maybe those frown lines?? Or just the sexy attitude. I love this video. I can volunteer to teach these guys English. I learned it scientifically too. I'm glad these guys are given the chance to better themselves. Salutes to Belami.

The boys did a good job the first week of school It will be fun seeing them improve.

I'm currently learnimg Italian, and so I know how frustrating it is not knowing the correct word or phrase to use, so total respect to these guys for their efforts in speaking what is generally agreed to be an extremely difficult language to learn.

Thank you, Bel Ami! Loved every minute. Such sweet guys.:)

This was a fascinating video. We are used to seeing these boys interacting with others physically in sexual situations but not verbally. But here they are speaking a language not their own, straining to remember words and phrases, and saying in English what would be second-nature in their own language. The best thing for me was to hear the actual voices of the models, and I look forward to the next episode when I'll hear the models speak English with renewed confidence. Well done, lads.

Philippe Gaudin is sooooooo sweet and damn hot! Hope to see more of him...

All I can say is that I totally agree with dr24. Plus, let's give these guys a break in what they're saying in English. After all, it's not their native language and thus they will make mistakes from time to time. Just think if we had to go and live in the Czech Republic and learn their language. How many mistakes do you think we'd make? Personally, I excel in "body language." ;-)

What a REALLY great peep at these dudes learning English.

rcgrcg - 10/28/2011 6:02:24 PM
Loved it!

dr24 - 10/28/2011 3:11:36 PM
I loved this. Kevin is so animated, he is the best.

Its not like he said shit , hell, damn or fuck (of course, fuck would be okay). This notion that regular words are being banned from use is pissing me off. Arughhh. Perhaps, there IS a terrorist in his class. After all, this IS an accelerated English class. I can't think of a more useful tool for a terrorist than good English.

insipid - 10/28/2011 9:35:32 AM
Well, he doesn't know English, so maybe Phillip didn't know that terrorist was inappropriate.

Riviera79 - 10/28/2011 9:28:51 AM
Phillipe saying that there's a "terrorist" in his class is awful. Otherwise, great video. Kevin is so adorable.
