Toronto Raptors players try to speak French in Quebec City (VIDEO)

In Quebec City for training camp, Toronto Raptors players were put to the test.

A French test.

Players were given lines in Quebec’s official language, like “Le Nord C’est Nous,” and were asked to translate them into English. It was considerably more difficult for some more than others, as the Raptors have a few native French speakers on the team, including Serge Ibaka (Congo), Pascal Siakam (Cameroon), and Chris Boucher (Quebec).

The rest of the group quizzed — which included Fred VanVleet, Norman Powell, Marc Gasol, and OG Anunoby, as well as newcomers Stanley Johnson, and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson – had a much tougher time.

For our entertainment, of course.
