Ah non, "soufflé" n'est pas le mot que j'ai voulu employer. J'ai voulu dire, "des fesses." Excusez-moi!

3 cheers for the New York City public schools, then.

Je pense que le "DVD", c'est un nouveau vie pour etudier une langue etrangere. N'est pas? Mais quand M. Vader dit "l'empereur" je pense seulement de Napoleon Bonaparte.

Ouch. I don't get this one.
c'est un nouveau vie -> c'est une nouvelle vie, butI don't get what it means. It's a new way, a totally new way of learning? We'd say "c'est une revolution". ne nouvelle vie (a new life) doesn't make sense in French here.
N'est pas? -> N'est-ce pas? Actually, skipping all "isn't it" and translating them by nothing will often dwork well
Je pense seulement de -> not "de" but "a".

I meant a new way, and was thinking "via" of course vie in france is life. I also thought "mien" but im not sure what that means.

yup, should have been n'est ce pas. Its just a phrase that comes easily to my tongue (even in english) but i dont write it much.

i try to pay lots of attention to grammar, but it means that I write really slowly. masc/fem I mostly get, but the rules about the accords, especially the obscure ones, I have forgotten, along with some conjugaison of certain verb tenses and also their utilization and when to use them.

you know its funny, I found this site where they have swiss french - french translation, and I didnt notice until now, but I use a lot of swiss french words and pronounciations (especially pronounciations), even though I learned french in school in the US.

and the french teachers would always mark me off for it.
