[HPFGU-OTChatter] Pardon Pastor's French

> "Parler un noveau langage"

"Parler une nouvelle langue" would probably be better.

French employs both "langage" (masculine in gender) and "langue" 
(feminine) to mean "language", but there are certain semantic 
differences. My French is a bit rusty, so I may be talking off the top 
of my head here, but I believe "langage" is generally used when speaking 
of "language" in general -- e.g., as a linguistic or philosophical 
subject ("human language": "le langage humain"). When speaking of 
particular languages, "langue" is much more commonly employed ("la 
langue francaise", "la langue anglais").
