The host was Quebecois comedian Marc Favreau, who also appeared in this series under the guise of his trademark character, Sol the Clown.

[1] Each episode would begin with Favreau appearing as himself, speaking in English, and introducing several Quebec French words and phrases.

This was followed by a fragment of a comedy sketch involving Sol, in which all of the dialogue was in French, using the terms introduced by Favreau.

"[citation needed] The opening sequence of Parlez-moi uses an outtake of the sketch from Episode 2, combined with new footage in order to show Sol speaking to Favreau, the actor who plays him, on the phone.

Episodes in season 2 ran 15 minutes each, which was the standard length of instructional programming in North America.
