Speaking French un petit peu (7)
I believe the answer is:
soupcon
'speaking' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for soupcon that I've seen before include "Very tiny amount" , "A vary small quantity, just a trace - from France" , "suspicion" , "very little" , "Dash" .)
