The importance of non-verbal

Once you have read this post, you will think it is obvious that Jean-Claude's quotes are also applicable to FLE studies. The following quote is about kinesthesia.

"Animals do not talk. They talk with "du sentiment", but they do not have any language for our fears. On the other hand, there is a lot of touch and eye contact (contacts with the eyes) , some really sincere thing; and to developp myself with animals around me really did help me a lot. Here, there is a dog beside me rignt now, and I am stroking (caressing) him."

" Les animaux ne parlent pas. Ils "parlent" (avec du "feeling"), mais ils n'ont pas de langage pour nos "trouilles" à nous. En revanche, il y a beaucoup de toucher et de contacts des yeux, des choses vraiment sincères; et ça m'a vraiment beaucoup aidé que de me développer avec des animaux autour de moi. Là, j'ai un chien en ce moment à côté de moi et je le caresse." JCVD

If it is possible to teach dogs how to order burgers at the fast-food, it is possible to teach it to someone who doesn't know a word of French. You just have to learn to use your body, your face's expression, your eyes, "le sentiment" in order to make people understand you.

How to customize the blog?

I would like to customize the blog but there is no "layout tab" on the dashboard, like on this picture.

How can I change the template?

Everyone is gay

I said in a comment that I will talk about the relation between Jean-Claude and language learning/teaching. Let's begin by the intercultural stuff.

This may be a good authentic document we could use for the course of Mrs Barbot about intercultural. It's a very good exemple of openness.

After that, you won't look at the others the same way, especially dwarf painters.

Jean-Claude is an humanist, so as we are human, we should be vandammist! Don't be afraid to like beautiful things, whatever it is.

Liko Van Damme

This is my daughter Liko who is a big fan of Jean-Claude too. On this picture, she's trying to do like her idol : a "grand écart facial" (sorry, someone could translate this for me, please? David! HELP!!). She has a pretty flexible body, so I think she will succeed soon. Daddy is proud of you, "Pupuce"!!

I am not surprised

It may be an unexpected thing for most of you but I haven't been (wasn't) surprised when I discovered Jean-Claude's quotes on this site on philosophy. Imagine secondary school students working on these kind of topics for the philosophy examination of Baccalaureate. Exciting!

Anti-frimeur

This is some kind of Vandammesque concept. No, JCVD is not a “frimeur”, he is a simple guy who never does too much, he‘s just trying to explain his thoughts as precise as possible, and sometimes it’s not that easy.

Like Jean-Claude, tell us if you are anti-pollution, anti-tsunami, anti-caniche or whatever!

Super hero of daily life

Jean-Claude is also a hero in the daily life, just like we all are. Recently, I have seen a program on TV whose topic was handicap, and the father of a guy who went blind when he was 30 told that he realized tha the daily life acts ask so much and needs the biggest efforts. I know a blind couple who have a baby. It sounds unreal but if we were in the same situation, we would surely go through this too. Because our body is just the vehicle of our mind who contain more than you can imagine. we are super heros!

"When you take an elevator...you are thinking. About a lot of things : some creations, some people, some memories...So, spiritually speaking we are never alone! but physically, "in the envelop", if I am alone...well...I am here. And I stay here...until the doors open. And then I start walking. I move my envelop. To my everyday mission." JCVD

The Touch

Jean-Claude has been hurt so many times. That is the reason why he doesn't feel any sadness when the French audience is making fun of him,. So Let's make him feel "la touche" again and tell him we love him! Heart is a muscle too!!

Honesty

Jean-Claude should be a model for everyone of us because he is the archetype of honesty and simplicity.

Hi I'm Alexis
Every day we can see on the media many troubles in the world naturally we are affected by them but sometimes we need to disregard them and
JCVD topic is one of the best reason for that
So be aware !!! and having fun !!
Sorry for my english level I'm a long-standing beginner don't hesitate to correct my mistakes

JCVD is a poof

The body, the brain and the air

Most of people says that JCVD is only muscles. That's true but don't forget that brain is a muscle too! Jean-Claude is MAYBE one of the greatest philisophers of the century and thanks to this blog we will share his thoughts.

We will introduce the reflections of Jean-Claude on Time, Space, Mankind, Love and oxygen.

"I am fascinated by the air. If you remove the air from the sky, birds fall down on the ground…and airplanes do too…at the same time, you cannot touch it… it exist and it doesn’t exist…It feeds man even if he is not hungry…C’est magique… The air is beautiful but you cannot see it, it is soft but you cannot touch it…the air is a little bit like my brain". JCVD

Type of woman

JCVD is also very romantic. Listen to this and tell us what is your type of love?

JCVD and drug

I am sorry, I have forgotten the link about vegetables last time

check out this audio file

As he says, « of course » JCDV did drug in the past and this made him become “foufou”. Hopefully, he recovered from this illness thanks to sport, God and vegetables. So if you don’t want to become “foufou” like JCVD did, don’t do drug (drugs), make (do) sport and eat vegetables!

« La drogue, c'est comme quand tu close your eyes et que tu traverses la rue... » JCVD
