babspanky Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 OK you Frenchies! I can understand some of what you type! Could you possibly translate one word which you think we will not know, every time you type in French, then we can learn a bit? That would be good if you could, and another plus for the MFC, encouraging international relations and languages! Merci! PS if you don't fancy it, don't worry, it's just that would be a good way for us to improve our French. I'm not sure I would ever dare write to you in French though, but you never know!

babspanky Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Well it's been a long time since school and a holiday in the south of France in about 1990! I went with some friends, one of whom teaches French to 11 to 18 year olds, so we thought we would be fine, however, she was having none of it, she insisted that we did all the talking, but that was 17 years ago! I can probably understand more written French, than I can speak or write. Not much more though! We are useless we English - sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babspanky Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I can't remember where the apostrophes go. j'taime well croissants must be the same, it's French word, eating in Italian is mangare, j'aime mange croissants - you must be killing yourself laughing at this. tu est ? comment allez vous au'jourd' hui? How does Love Today translate?? (this one just tripped off my tongue, strangely! Is that just bonjour? (literally good day) but you don't say bon matin, do you? Well, I am quite enjoying this and if it give you a giggle, then both of us are happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcenciel Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I can't remember where the apostrophes go. j'taime ==> 10/10 lol !! in fact in french you say : je t'aime but j'taime is correct too in spoken language well croissants must be the same, it's French word, eating in Italian is mangare, j'aime mange croissants ==> well in fact i'm quite impressed since it's nearly good !! you say " j'aime manger des croissants" tu est ? ====> beautiful is nearly the same word in french as in italian ! it's "beau", so "tu es belle/beau" is correct ^___^ comment allez vous aujourd' hui? How does Love Today translate?? (this one just tripped off my tongue, strangely! => love today means in french "l'amour aujourd'hui" (l'amour tout de suite ) Is that just bonjour? (literally good day) but you don't say bon matin, do you? => bon matin doesn't exist but it's understandable bonjour is correct you're quite good at it !!!! it's quite funny to see how people are interessed in french ! But it's a really hard language !! Continue comme ça, c'est très bien, tu feras beaucoup de progrès !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Thanks, it's surprising what you remember in fact. How could I have forgotten belle? stupid!

babspanky Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Don't be sorry, lollylollypop, we are learning. It's great to be part of an international site, where we all have something in common, most sites I have been on only have the occasional visitor from other countries, and then usually American, because of the language, so this is great.

lollypop Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 they say: (sorry it's in french!) entitled MIKA, enfant, le dandy de la pop était autiste! (real? not real?) une voix haut perchée sur de l'opéra pop disco...mika n'a rien du rockeur asocial et déjanté àla mode en ce moment. Cela ne l'empeche pas d'avoir du talent...et du succès. Dans des frngues aussi flashy et décalées que sa musique, ce Libano-Americano-Anglais de 23 ans (qui a vécu un peu en France) a séduit avec un premier album haut en couleur. Enfant, Mica Penniman a pourtant broyé du noir. En 1991, pendant la guerre du golfe au Koweit, son père est pris en otage. Face a ce drame, il se replit sur lui même. je refusait d'apprendre àlire ou àécrire, et même de parler confit-il aujourd'hui. Pour le sortir de son mutisme, sa mère tente un dernier recours en l'inscrivant àdes cours de musique àLondres. Bingo! Le jeune homme retrouve le sourire et la joie de vivre: "la musique m'a aidée àme réintegrer au monde. J'ai appris a jouer du piano tout seul. Je suis dyslexique et je ne sais pas lire de partitions, c'est du charabia; je joue tout àl'oreille..." Voila surement pourquoi ses chansons sonnent aussi bien! Si, au temps de l'école, ses pantalons rouges et ses noeud pap faisaient rire ses proches, aujourd'hui, le chanteur tiens sa revanche. Le couturier Paul Smith en a fait son égérie (rien que ça! ) et son look intéresse presue autant que ses chansons. Dandy fashion ou gay décompléxé, Mika laisse planer le doute. Ses fans (us?)pensent pourtant qu'il a fait son coming out dans l'une de ses chansons où il évoque un homme marié qui tombe amoureux d'un autre homme (Billy Brown!) Je revendique le droit d'écrire ce que je veux et j'emmerde les bien-pensants! rétorque-t-il, décidé àne plus jamais se laisser marcher sur ses belles converse! Ecco! Ho finito! If someone can translate this article...I've try but it's too hard for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
