M | 1701 comments Welcome to basic conversational French. Don’t look so worried. French is just like English, only backwards. The hardest part is getting the accent down. Your instructor will be Monsieur M. Now for the first lesson:

Havez-vous un lawn tu meau?


message 2: by Kyra (new)

Kyra (Nikara) | 1221 comments You just gave me reason to worry. (sigh)

Non, je ne fauche pas la pelouse. Apparemment je ne nettoie pas ma pièce ou, ou au moins je fais un mauvais assez de travail de lui.

Kymela (kymelatejasi) | 674 comments Bonjour, mon amis! Je ne sais pas beaucoup le français, mais je vais essayer.

For now, I have to use a mix of google translate and my books, because my dictionary doesn't have all the words I'm looking for.

Kyra (Nikara) | 1221 comments Pourquoi sommes-nous apprentissage français, quoi qu'il en soit???

Amen to that. I recognize the word you. And vous is we or something like that right????


message 8: by Kymela (new)

Kymela (kymelatejasi) | 674 comments 'vous' is polite and plural for 'you.'
'we' is 'nous.'

Michelle | 181 comments Gahhhhh! French!
Ummm...
Ouais! Allez-vous nous envoyer à la France? Parce que je soutiens pleinement cela.

I hope I said that right.


message 10: by Michelle (new)

Michelle | 181 comments Je n'ai pas vraiment pense que oui ...


message 11: by Cheyenne (new)

Cheyenne | 815 comments Deutsch?? Ich verstehen nicht sehr viel. Dich verstehen Deutsch? Ich lerne

(If I even said that right....I tried to learn German a few months ago but I didn't get very far before I got occupied with other things.)

Cheyenne | 815 comments Alex (Al) wrote: "Ah, Deutsch! Früher habe ich, dass zu studieren.

I think that's right. It's been a while and I'm using a mixture of my German book, google and my own knowledge."


Ich verstand, kaum... Ich merken nicht sehr viel.... :(
Dich studieren Deutsch?


message 13: by Cheyenne (new)

Cheyenne | 815 comments Hahaha. The only thing I remember without thinking hard for 10 minutes is "I don't understand very much German." That's why it took me forever to type that last one... And decipher your post :p

Cheyenne | 815 comments Alex (Al) wrote: "M wrote: "Vingt et un ans?"

Oui, mais je dois attendre une autre année.

There's exactly one more month until I'm twenty. I'm freaking out. I'm starting to feel old!"


You're only 19? I thought you were 21. *cough cough* I wonder why :p

LOL!!! Me speaking French... Oh, that's funny!!! I have a translator on my computer. But my nine-year-old sister is learning French. XD

I don't drink often and I've never been drunk, but I love wine. I'd drink ..."


Strange??? I thought you were in your mid-twenties, and I haven't even met you in person before.


message 17: by Kyra (new)

Kyra (Nikara) | 1221 comments LOL!!! Can you imagine Al with kids??? (sudden, horrible thought) Who'd be the father??? Frank??!!!


message 18: by Cheyenne (new)

Cheyenne | 815 comments Oh man.... You guys crack me up.

M, you thought Al was in her thirties?? WOW!

Kyra, that made me laugh much harder than it probably should have. It's a good thing I've got the house to myself.

Al, I just found the alcohol funny. I wasn't judging, I've got no room to judge.


message 19: by Cheyenne (new)

Cheyenne | 815 comments There are some people who seriously need to be sterile.


message 20: by Kymela (new)

Kymela (kymelatejasi) | 674 comments If we speak other languages in this thread, though, the name would have to be changed. XD

My favourite word in any other language-kaapiturumaviit? :D


message 21: by M (new)

M | 1701 comments Sometimes I forget where I am. I’ll explain when we’re out in the hall.


message 22: by Cheyenne (new)

Cheyenne | 815 comments MY NEIGHBORS TOO!!!! They've got kids spilling from their ears! And they've always got music blaring so loud that I can hear it in my house. (You know that's loud.) Not to mention my bedroom is an add-on to the house. A poorly constructed add-on at that! The lightswitch is seven feet down the wall from the door, the AC doesn't work in here, and it's too hot in summer, too cold in winter! Anyways, point of bringing up my bedroom: it's the closest room in the house to the neighbors. -_-


message 23: by Kyra (new)

Kyra (Nikara) | 1221 comments Poor Cheyenne.


message 24: by Kymela (new)

Kymela (kymelatejasi) | 674 comments Tudja valaki hogyan kell beszélni a magyar?

That's probably totally wrong...

nó Gàidhlig?

Kyra (Nikara) | 1221 comments J'ai détruit la piste de quel langage nous parlons, ainsi je vais toujours de pair avec le Français pour maintenant.


message 26: by Kyra (new)

Kyra (Nikara) | 1221 comments Conjecture ainsi.


message 27: by Kyra (new)

Kyra (Nikara) | 1221 comments Désolé, je pense que j'ai manqué quelque chose… qui est M. Dawson?
Ah, et M… LOL.


message 28: by M (new)

M | 1701 comments Mais alors pourquoi parles-tu de lui?


message 29: by Kyra (new)

Kyra (Nikara) | 1221 comments Excellente question.


message 30: by Kymela (new)

Kymela (kymelatejasi) | 674 comments Je suis complètement perdu déjà...


message 31: by M (new)

M | 1701 comments Phooey! Je crois que j’ai perdu mon parapluie.


message 32: by M (new)

M | 1701 comments Ah, merci, jolie jeune fille mysterieuse!


message 33: by M (new)

M | 1701 comments Voyons . . . Quel jour sommes-nous aujourd’hui?

message 35: by Kymela (new)

Kymela (kymelatejasi) | 674 comments J'utilise un clavier français.


message 36: by Kyra (new)

Kyra (Nikara) | 1221 comments Dorénavant, je ne saute aucun courrier dans cet amorçage. Des types avez-vous une idée combien de temps elle prend pour exécuter tout ce bavardage par un traducteur???
Bien, puis. Accueil, maxime, au WSS glorieux! Notre petite bande des pirates ici est davantage qu'heureuse de vous avoir à bord. Vous parlez français? Très impressionnant!!!
Idée fabuleuse de M…!!! Maintenant nous devons juste survivre au Cap'n délirant au sujet des lettres françaises pour les prochaines semaines… XD

message 42: by M (new)

M | 1701 comments Salut, Jan! Je demeure à Texas. Je crois que je préfère l’hiver.


message 43: by Jan (new)

Jan (auntyjan) | 199 comments Salut, M. L'hiver est mieux pour danser, mais l'ete est mieux pour nager. Je prefere danser, mais il fait tres tres froid maintenant. Heureusement après neuf semaines de plus il va devenir un peu plus chaud. Puis Septembre Octobre et Novembre...le meilleur temps de l'annee.

Michelle | 181 comments Mes voisins sont bruyants aussi. Ils sont vraiment riche et avoir une certaine thingy musique de fantaisie qu'ils souffle vraiment fort ... Et leur fille de 7 ans a un iPhone! Qu'est-ce knid de 7 ans a besoin d'un IPhone?

I don't know why I chose to say that in French while everyone is speaking English, but who cares...

Kyra (Nikara) | 1221 comments Je suis le voisin ennuyant. J'essaye vraiment de ne pas être, mais je suis. Triste


message 50: by Michelle (new)

Michelle | 181 comments C'est bizarre, non? Ce n'est pas seulement moi? Je veux dire, tout ce qu'elle fait est le temple de jeu courir toute la journée. Et je n'ai même pas un iPod!
