A lot of the spelling of this is wrong... I don't know if you were aiming to use phonetic spelling... but anyway, most of it is wrong, sorry ;)

Hmm ditto to GSGS (I'm been in her French for the past 3 years. We've had some good times. But you learn Italian which gives you an enormous headstart which I always remind you of...). :D

Woah, Miss? Are you stalking me??
Yeah, yeah. And may I remind you that, essentially, it's only grammatical rules that are similar...

Une, duex, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix!

I think I can really help people in this topic!!

(not trying to boast, seriously) But I've been doing French for 3 years and got straight as last year, and a+ last term XD

I Know I Really Dont care, I want To make People Pronounce it right.

Yes but when you're writing French it is rather important. And even some of the things you have in brackets afterward to show the phonetic spelling, the correct spelling isn't right anyway. I don't think you can claim that you're trying to teach people when you're teaching them wrong.

@Seraph: This is my third year now; I really enjoy French :)

Hello= Bonjour
good bye= au revior( try saying oh revwa)
Thank you= Merci (mercy!)
yes= oui (We)
no= no
how are you?= comment ca va? (comme sa vah?)
i am good thank you= ca va bien, merci
and you?= et toi? (e twa?)

french numbers 1-10
une=1
deux=2
trois=3
quatre=4
cinq=5
six=6
sept=7
huit=8
neuf=9
dix=10

1:00am= Une heure
1:00pm= Troise heures
(24 hour time)
Midday= Midi
Midnight= Minuit

:D That's better.

Isn't no non...?
I was enjoying French before the teacher changed... :(
We are learning about reflexiv and subject pronouns like.
I= Je
you= Tu
He/She= Il, Elle
We= Nous
You(Formal)= Vous
Plural= Ils, Elles.

And the reflexiv pronouns.
Je= ((CAN'T REMEMBER! KILL ME NOW!
Tu- Te
Il elle= Se
Nous= Nous
Vous= Vous
Ils elles= Se

And when you use them in a sentence like.
He brushes his teeth
You say.
Subject pronoun, then reflexiv pronoun then adjective.
Like:
Il se gross le dante. ((I think that's the right adjective... :O Or is called a verb... It's a doing word anyway...))

I REMEMBERED! It's
Je= Me! Yayayayayay! I'm not a complete failure...

Well done :P Except it's reflexivE, not reflexiv. Not to be picky or anything...
And vous can also be plural, as well as formal.

:( Damn...
Oh ok thanks!
Last year with a different teacher me and my besty were the top of the class... Not boasting I'm just saying that this new teacher has really f*cked how much I was enjoying french, up...
This new teacher has been learning french for as long as us... 2 YEARS! GAH! I'M GONNA SCREAM! The only reason we are learning anything is because we have a french student teacher...

Aww, that sucks :( Just keep at it, hopefully it gets better.

Yeah.
I was thinking of swapping French for another semester of Creative Writing but I'm not sure with all the extra stuff you get if you stick with it until year 12...

You can do creative writing as a subject??????

Yeah! I did it this semester and it definately helped my writing. I want to do it again but I have to swap something I would want for it...

That sounds awesome. But yeah, presented with the option of French and writing... I'd probably go with French. You can kinda do writing by yourself but you need lessons for French. So yeah.

Yeah. I spose. I'll stay with French I think.

Tres bonne.

Very good?
Merci.

De rien

Didn't learn that one... :( See sh*t teacher...

Oh maybe I did... I dunno can't remember...

You're welcome...

Oh ok... I'm dumb, not my teacher.

Ugh, I hate verbs... >.<

Avoir= to have

J'ai
Tu as
Il/ Elle a
Nous avons
Vous aves
Ils/ Elles ont

Etre= To be

Je suis
Tu es
Il/ elle est
Nous sommes
Vous êtes
Ils/ elles sont

Never learnt any of them...

Laura, 'he brushes his teeth' is 'Il se brosse les dents'.

Are you sure you never learned avoir or etre? They're two of the four most important verbs in French. You must have learned some of their conjugations, especially if you're learning reflexives already.

Vous aveZ.

Yeah they kinda are... it was one of the first things we learnt. And every single teacher makes sure we've remembered it.

Hey Isnt it Je=I???

IT IS!! THAT'S WHAT MY FRENCH TEACHER TOLD ME!!

It mean I or me, depending on the context...

Oops I'll fix that.
Avoir? No... Etre? No... I don't think so.

I'm talking about the reflexive version.

Laura, if I may be perfectly frank, any French teacher who hasn't taught you Avoir or Etre already deserves to be fired because they are incompetent. That's... that's sad.
What about Faire or Aller?

What Anila says is true. A whole tense is based on those two verbs.

Past tense that is. I thought that lesson might be useful one day.

LOL :P

I'm starting high school in August, and I signed up for French. Does anyone know if it will it be hard even though I've never taken it before?

If you have a good teacher it should be fine.

The first part's pretty easy, it's VERBS and stuff which come later on... They suuuuck... >.<

I'm OK with grammar so far (I'm learning Italian, and it's all pretty much the same). Vocab, on the other hand...

I do Japanese

All I know is
Bonjour. Jemmapel Becky (something like that!)
