French language lessons. Mods please read it! Got spare money?

Right. I've been thinking about it. I know english is the language we agree to use except for the evil finns who get special privileges for some reason.

What I'm asking and proposing is this. We all (or some anyway) know a 3rd language. However if we don't practise it, it will go away. I can honestly say my english has improved and been enriched considerably from posting here.

I'd like to extend this to other languages. Like french.

I'd like to ask for this thread and this thread only to be a french language lesson thread. All the people who know some french (more or less it really doesn't matter) they could come to this thread and post.

Other people would reply, always in french, and this way we could practise and ameliorate ourselves in french too. Interaction and participation after all is the best method of learning.

We would be making lots of mistakes etc but we WOULD be getting better at it with each post.

Maybe there will not be enough interest and the thread will die, assuming you let it exist in the first place. Or maybe it won't. Who knows.

Seeing as there are the coffee shop threads, I don't think it would be too much to ask for just a single thread where people are permitted to post in french and learn and practice the language more.

I offer this proposition to your evaluation.

I know that there are quite a lot of people who speak more or less french and could participate.

If french speakers would like to visit and post I'd say they are more than welcome. (although and without wanting to cause bad feelings, I'd ask canadian speakers to not use a lot of localisms when they speak french).


Anyway, this is my proposition for you to allow or discard.

Thanks.

Merci, Paiktis!

I would request such a thread as well, since French proficiency in writing would be a big job asset to me here in Canada.

Vu comment mon Anglais a progressé en écrivant sur 'Poly, ça me paraît naturel de participer à ce thread pour aider les autres à progresser (je veux dire, aider "passivement", parce que corriger les erreurs de grammaire, c'est vite fatiguant)

Given how my English progressed by posting on 'Poly, it feels only natural that I in turn help the others by posting in this thread

I will venture to write in french, even though we DO NOT yet have authorization from the Mods.

Germanos, t'as comme meme raison a ce que tu dit. La raison pour la quelle j'aurais prefere que ca soit en Apolyton et pas dans un autre forum, c'est parce qu'ici je connais beaucoup de gas avec les quelles on peut discuter comme des amis. Je serrais come un entranger dans un autre forum.
Je sais que c'est difficile d'ecrire en francais sans avoir un clavier francais. J'espere que Je vais decouvrir une solution pour que ca change

Suffering from ads?

Je epnse aussi que c'est une bonne idée de rester sur Apolyton, plutôt que d'aller chercher sur d'autres forums où on ne connait personne.

De par mon expérience, il y a un an, j'ai demandé à Ming de me bannir de 'Poly pour que je puisse réviser mes exams en Allemand. Je visitais un petit peu Civ3.de pour être plus à l'aise dans la langue de Goethe, mais j'ai vite arrêté.
J'ai arrêté dès que mes exams furent terminés, et dès que j'ai demandé à Ming de lever le bannissement.

(To Ming: I'm referring to a ban I requested last year)

Pendant une seconde, en voyant cette citation dans le post de Paiktis ("On peut prendre cela pour un oui. Merde est une façon de souhaiter bonne chance (si vous tombez sur un superstitieux qui pense que dire bonne chance porte malheur"), je croyais que c'était MtG qui lui avait répondu.

MtG, in case you're wondering, I thought it was you who wrote LDiCesare's post, explaining in a flawless French that "merde" can be used as a replacement for "good luck", which is an ill-omen itself)
