Brad.. can we have a new forum heading?
Named... French Learning or French Class
And then Snatcher42 and RMJ and aFrenchie and others could teach us and lay down the law so to speak on french language. Translations is good but its so vague. |

If they're willing that'd be great but that's quite an endeavor. T_T

yeah that would be some work but if you can understand the interview translations then that should be alright when new interviews come out

i doubt they want to teach us all French
i think the translation forum is good enough if you have specific questions or something in particular that you want to translate. We are lucky they take the time to help us at all .. we definitly don't want to push our luck. |

Wow that's an ambitious endeavor. I don't know if it's really possible to learn out of a book or from a website only, makes it really difficult not having someone helping you face to face. But there are a lot of websites that offer free French lessons, if you're bored these might keep you busy for a while.
http://www.bonjour.com/index.php http://www.frenchassistant.com/default.asp If you actually learn anything let me know... EDIT:Section 8 of the first site has various love and romance sayings, not the most sophisticated, but if you ever meet Alizée you'll have something you can toss her way...

I too think there are some good websites for that, I would add this one: http://french.about.com ANYWAY, if anyone of you is learning French and wants to sometimes ask any particular questions, then no problem. Brad could create something, and I'll reply each time I can. Some of you (especially garçoncanadien) already PM-ed me for help in French and I was happy to reply each time. So it could be done in the forum instead of PMs, if Brad is ok... EDIT: no need to create a new forum for that though! French questions can be asked in the "Translation" section...

Oui. j'aime cette idée. Je pense qu'il nous donnerait le bord pour apprendre la langue française. Cependant, ceci serait un grand problème avec afrenchie ou n'importe qui d'autre, parce que je ne pense pas qu'il aurait le temps pour faire quelque chose ennuyant si. Et im désolé pour faire ceci en français. Je l'ai fait pour vous ennuyer. désolé.

Sounds like a great plan but I think it'll be hard to learn over a forum board. I mean it was hard enough to try and learn it in school. It'd also be quite the undertaking for all our french speakers.
And I'm no expert in french, neotony, but did u use a translator? I'm pretty sure the "im" in the third last sentence, isn't a french word and the rest of the sentence is unconjugated (did I spell that right?). lol

Well I have a question aFrenchie about French. It is just concerning French accents and ligatures and how important they are when typing French, I know they are used to show pronounciation but for the French is it really acceptable to type French without them? I know accents are important but are ligatures as important? I mean would you type Laetitia or Lætitia, coeur or cœur, oeil or œil. I took French since grade one but because almost all the keyboards in Canada are the standard American which don't support accents we were only required to use accents on the on e's and à's, and the obvious trémas (maïs, Noël) and cédilles were encouraged but not required, but ligatures were never mentioned.
EDIT PS: the about.com site is great it's what I've been using to brush up on my french grammar. Last edited by Twitch; 10-09-2006 at 06:47 PM.. |
