Minogue turns French for Martinez

IOL: Minogue turns French for Martinez

04/09/2004 - 13:56:51

Pop beauty Kylie Minogue's French has improved so radically since she began dating gallic hunk Olivier Martinez, the singer is nearly fluent.

The In Your Eyes star has been in a relationship with the Unfaithful heart- throb since May 2003 and after dating Frenchman Stephen Sednaoui in 1994, the tiny Australian's language skills are near-perfect.

Minogue says: "I speak far more fluently when I'm really tired or jet-lagged or it's the end of they day and I call him. It just comes out a lot easier.

"Or of course, a few glasses of wine can help. I'm always trying to improve. My pronunciation is great. I don't have problems with the accent and I've got the pout, but my grammar is almost non-existent. I have a way to go but he finds it very cute."
