The actress is hoping to perfect her French in 2011, so she can make a movie in her late mother’s native tongue.

Jolie’s mum Marcheline Bertrand hailed from France and Jolie now has a dream to make an art house film in the country - once she has mastered the language and accent.

"I’m going to practice (French) and try to become fluent in the next few years,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

"I would love to do a movie in French when my French gets a little better," she added.
