The Vocabulary of Emoticons

On Friday I told you that the official French Astérix website is a fun resource and I wasn't kidding. Check out the Astérix version of smileys, les smailix:

SmailixAsterix

This is only one of the "smailix" sets available at the Astérix website. There's also a set based off of Idéfix, the dog. Check them out! And, if you go to the Astérix website, you can download each "smailix" individually.

I think this is a pretty fun way of reviewing vocabulary for some commonly expressed emotions.  (Okay, so "ils sont fous, ces Romans !" isn't particularly common, but the others are!) What do you think?
