French utterance in English Alexa Skill?

Is it possible to make Alexa listen for a French word from an English Alexa skill?

When we make Alexa speak we can choose the language for example:

<speak>
    Welcome to Paris. <voice name="Celine"><lang xml:lang="fr-FR">Bienvenue à Paris</lang></voice>
</speak>

I want the user to be able to repeat "Bienvenue à Paris" and Alexa to understand this utterance.

Learn French by smartio life is doing that, I have no clue how.

A user learning basic french does not want to have to configure his Alexa in French. I've been thinking about creating utterances in english that would sound like the expected french (that would soon be very difficult to do), or use a phonetic utterance (I don't think it exists)

Alexa can support multiple languages. I would follow these instructions to add French to your skill so she can understand the sentence "Bienvenue à Paris"

Hope it helps Ester
