Why should language be a barrier in love? Though otherwise a man of few words, Saif Ali Khan speaks French fluently. And now, girlfriend Kareena Kapoor wants to learn the language too.

Going beyond her acting skills for a change, Bebo now intends to hone her linguistic ones. In fact, she apparently developed a taste for foreign cinema, thanks to beau Saif. And now, it's languages he loves

Bebo used to listen to Saif speak in French very often and like an ardent student, used to try and grasp a few words here and tehre. A source close to Kareena says, "The actress wants to go beyond the few words she knows in French. She wants to learn the language fluently and perhaps converse in French with her boyfriend."

Apparently, Kareena and Saif often go for vacations to Europe, which happens to be their favourite holiday destination. Saif loves France and everything about it. Saif learnt French years ago and now, Bebo too wants to speak the language.

Another reason for her to pursue the language is that her close friend Karan Johar is also fluent in it.

The source adds, "Even while shooting for Agent Vinod in Morrocco, the entire local crew conversed in Arabic, but the first assistant director spoke in French.

So fascinated was Bebo with the language that she would gape for hours every time Saif and the foreign unit got into an animated conversation."

That Kareena is infatuated with a language Saif speaks, should tell him a lot more of course. Hope that's not lost in translation.
