Re: What Country Do You Come From? by Destiny6(f): 11:14pm On Dec 11, 2005
Parlez-vous le français fréquemment alors ?
Re: What Country Do You Come From? by WesleyanA(f): 11:16pm On Dec 11, 2005
non, a l'ecole seulement.
Re: What Country Do You Come From? by nike4luv(f): 11:17pm On Dec 11, 2005
oui je parle le francais.. grin
Re: What Country Do You Come From? by nferyn(m): 11:19pm On Dec 11, 2005
Actually, my spoken french is considerably better than my written french. French grammar is way too complicated. French is the second language in Belgium and it is spoken by the majority of people in Brussels. As I work in Brussels, I have to adapt to a certain degree. wink

Go for it. Should be fun, but you should expect the Parisians to be a little snobby when it comes to their language. After all, they have the Académie Française guarding the correct evolution of the French language, vigorously protecting it from English influences.

Good. smiley Maybe we can try something a little more difficult next time grin
Re: What Country Do You Come From? by WesleyanA(f): 11:23pm On Dec 11, 2005
i see. Destiny and Nike speak french too! cool.

i learned about that too. Yves Costeau is in it along with the top literary figures in France.  cheesy

Its Destiny, Lol
Re: What Country Do You Come From? by WesleyanA(f): 11:29pm On Dec 11, 2005
sorry Destiny,  cheesy

Oh refroidir, est la France où vous provenez de ou vous avez appris la langue quelque part Nike ?

Re: What Country Do You Come From? by WesleyanA(f): 11:34pm On Dec 11, 2005
je pense que Nike << learns it embarassed>> a l'ecole aussi. Elle habite en Britain.

Yes, but they go too far:

puce, méga-octet, souris, ordinateur, imprimante, courriel (I actually like that one for e-mail), ... while the rest of the world just borrows the english words for computer terms, heck, even the Germans do grin This makes it quite impossible for me to read computer magazines in French.

Some advice if you really want to improve your French, get yourself a subscription to the daily Le Monde and force yourself to read at least 3 pages from it every day. Once your're comfortable reading Le Monde, move over to Libération, which uses a more literary language. Not only will you improve your French, but their journalism is lightyears ahead of what is considered journalism in the US (sorry for the possible offense)

La France, est-elle l'endroit d'où vous provenez où avez-vous appris la langue quelque part d'autre, Nike

Do you know how i could suscribe? Is it a paid suscription? embarassed
i went on the site and it's so confusing!
Re: What Country Do You Come From? by nferyn(m): 12:04am On Dec 12, 2005
This link should help you on your way. It's a paid subscription, but there's enough info on the free pages to help you on your way. Once you're comfortable enough in French, you may consider to move on to a paid subscription.
The reason I mention Le Monde is because their language is fairly standard, not too much slang, wordplays or very colloquial language.
