Vive La France! A French Club | Welcome!

[Yunyi]

Ma classe de français était un peu bizarre dans qu'il y avait plus d'accent sur le parlant et pas l'écrivant. Donc, ma...orthographe est terrible. Quand je dis le mot "pense", il ressemble plus de "ponse" et moins de "pense". J'ai toujour écrit es-ce que moins le "t" et oublié beaucoup de "s"s.

Le tableau dans cet site est comme le tableau que mon prof à donné à ma classe pour le sujet de il est ou c'est.

My french class was a little weird in speaking was emphasized and not writing. So my spelling is terrible. When I speak, the word "pense" sounds more like "ponse". I always wrote es-ce que without the "t" and forget lots of "s"s.

Je n'ai aucune de notes français avec moi dans ma...dortoir

The table on that website was like the chart my teacher gave us when we were learning about il est versus c'est.

I don't have any of my french notes with me in my dorm room.

(Had to look up two words in the dictionary. Vocab can't keep up with my thoughts anymore.)

C'est vrai? Ta classe a eu un accent sur le parlant? Honnêtement, je pense que c'est meilleur parce que le parlant est plus utile. L'orthographe peut être amélioré facilement.
Et merci pour le lien.

... which is supposed to mean something along the lines og:
Really? Your class focuses on speaking? Honestly, I think that that's better because speaking is more useful. Spelling can be improved easily.

I feel like that's riddled with errors, so if you see any please let me know. I'd love to improve on my grammar and sentence structure and pick up on some more "colloquial" French, if that makes sense.

Gah, I have so much trouble with pronouns. I don't know what the proper way of saying "That is" (as in "That is better). All I found on Google were these various forms of cet, celui, ca, etc. I didn't know which one was correct.

So far we do a pretty even mix of speaking and writing. I like it so far. I just hate being Asian at times - I can't roll ANY Rs. So when I speak, it's very flat.

I'm Asian and I'm fortunate enough to be able to roll my Rs, but only one of my Asian friends is able to. None of the rest can. xD

Moi aussi. Je suis chinoise et je ne peux pas parler très jolie. Je parle français avec un accent américain et chinois.

Me too. I'm Chinese, and my French accent doesn't sound very pretty. I speak with an American and Chinese accent. Blarg.

I can't roll my Rs either. Please excuse me for not writing in French, I'm too tired to go look up stuff >_>

My test was on Bien Dit! Chapter 4: Au lycee. Stuff like cour de recreation, le CDI, etc.

I'm so glad we have more users If somebody could quiz me on past participles, that would be lovely. Oh, and the use of en, y, depuis, il y a...que, and ca fait...que. The last three are the ways to say since, for how long, etc.

Merci beaucoup

Aw, il n'y avait pas beaucoup de personnes qui parlent aujord'hui. J'ai dormi cet après-midi parce que j'ai dû écrire mon essai pour psychologie hier soir et ne dormais rien. Qu'est-ce que vous avez fait?

Aw, there aren't very many people who posted (talked) today. I slept this afternoon because I had to write my psychology essay last night and didn't get much sleep. (Although ne...rien would translate to, "didn't sleep at all last night", right?) What did you guys do?

I think so.

I slept in, then I went for dim sum with my family (it's my sister's birthday). We went to the library after that, then came home. Spent a while on the computer, then had appetizer, went to my sister's piano recital, just came home.

Wait a second, how many Asian French speakers are there in here? o_O

I'm one. Chinese-Hawaiian, speak English, Cantonese (don't read it), some French, and a smattering of German, Spanish, Japanese, Hawaiian, and Mandarin

P.S. Hey Cass, would you post all your current butterfly recolors? I love them, but I don't fancy wading through the butterfly thread right now

Beaucoup? Trois ou quatre? Je ne sais pas.

A lot? Three or four? I don't know.

Ca va?

How're y'all?

[Selinea]

Ça va bien. J'ai fini tout mes examens! Les vacances de printemps commencent demain! Et je peux avoir plus de temps avec mon petit ami... Les temps sont très beau aujourd'hui. Mon favori équipe de basket a gagné hier. La vie est jolie...

Et vous?

I'm good. I finished all my finals! Spring break starts tomorrow! And I can finally have some more time with my boyfriend... The weather was super nice today. My favorite basketball team won yesterday. Life is beautiful...

And everybody else?
