I'd love to learn a language, but they just don't sit well with me... :L Maybe I'll try when I get to Uni?
Oh french, I find it to be incredibly sexy! I would love to, but am afraid I've forgotten the little I knew, maybe I shall go back to learning it.
I'd love to learn French, I have plans of either going to a British or French University in the future, so seeing as I already know English (Duh :3) Might as well try to learn French
It's nice to see a lot of you that are actually very good at French! French is my first language and I am really good at grammar, so if I tell you that your French is great, then it is true! Foreign language content removed
Merci My French speaking skills suffer, since I don't use it very much anymore. It is our second official language where I live so everything is in French and English. I love studying languages though, in high school I took Japanese, Spanish and Italian.
I spent a year in France improving my French I went to an international school where most of the students were from Asia. In a way, it kind of felt like I was cheating, I always felt like I had it way easier than them because French and English have so much in common. About 60% of the English language are similar to French words in some way.
I'm in French 1 right now! I'm doing virtual school since they don't offer it here If I ever have questions I'll ask
There is much in common with the English language, like every single word that ends with "ion," like information, construction, function, question, and a bunch of others. Their way of saying them is just much sexier. There might be some "strange" sentence construction to Anglophones, though. It's the use of the reflexive, and it's common to the Romance languages. "Elle va se marier" means she is going to get married ... while it may read like she is going to marry herself! At any rate, a very cool French word is "mange." It has 2 meanings (it's a joke): - eat, and - a code word I had with a friend for a very good looking guy, used as in "I saw some 'mange'."
Now I'm doing German too, I've come to realise that nearly every English word comes from German or French, whether the meaning of them remains identical or not. The main exceptions are slang, words that evolved from slang and words that're less than a few centuries old. There are some odd ones: horse is nothing like Pferd or Cheval, but in Norwegian it's 'hest', which is close enough!
Haha yeah reflexive verbs were a pain in the ass when I first started learning them in high school... they didn't make sense to me half the time. The only things that still give me trouble sometimes is the subjunctive, the rules for it are kind of vague, but no one really uses it anymore so, I really don't care that much.
