I just kind of need to rant. You know when you are really into something and then there are no opportunities to do anything fun with it? Legit I speak French and I really want it to get better and stuff.... I have been there a lot when I was younger since it isn't that far from England. Sadly here there is literally no where to go, Yeah I speak it with my sister.. but it is so annoying... I talk to people online and that's about it. My French Teacher honestly isn't that great and she only teaches grammar, plus French club.. we haven't done anything and it really ticks me off. Dx Any suggestions of what I can do? I don't know. *rages

I don't know why, but I found that really cute... 

Tu a ce dit quand?

Je JUST pensai a ce sujet! J'ai une dégrée première (Bachelor's) en Francais, et c'est absolutement inutile. J'ai une amie en vie réale qui le parle, et j'ai deux autres sur Facebook.

C'est tout.

Rien dans ma famille, et rien d'autres.

 

Donc... Ce que je veux dire est que je te sens, mec. Nous sommes peu. J'suis american, et tu peux imaginer combien des gens je vois chaque jour qui parle francais.

 

C'est zero.

Je suis americain engalement et j'aime beaucoup francaise . Ma soeur a une degree en Francaise aussi. Elle veut enseigner a l'etranger.

Votre username c'est en francaise. P: Sympaaaa!! 

I could understand some of that! Those six years forced to learn french in school worked! ... Somewhat.

 

I guess I have a somewhat similar problem? I've been studying Japanese in my spare time for 9 months now, but I've focused too much on reading and writing. Now I really think I could benefit from some speaking and listening practice but I'm much too shy to go looking for a Japanese friend to speak to, and too afraid to even try speaking for fear of failing badly. I'm assuming I'll get over it eventually when my desire to get better overcomes that fear.

 

I have a friend in my class who speaks English, Spanish, and French. He once told me his English and Spanish are great, but he's really rusty at French because he only really uses it with his neighbours at home. If you don't use it, you lose it, I guess.

Haha, yeah it kind of sucks.

Oui, c'est vrai. C'est une blague sur le chanson "Mister Simple" par le groupe "Super Junior". Je cherchai quelquechose comme "nice guy", et il a marché parfaitment. C'est très obscure, mais je l'aime, et c'est tout d'importance.

 

T'est american? T'es ou?

Oui , Oui!! Je sais que Super Junior! Je ecoute a la Kpop musique. ( a la ou le? Je ne sais pas. <.< ) Oui, je habite en Ohio. Et toi? Je beaucoup voyage, ma mere est anglaise. ;~; J'ai dormir. Bonne nuit. Pm moi pour demain? 

Literally I am usually the person to not give a crap about anyone or their feelings... but I have realized babies are my weak point. Mostly when they are adorable around 5months onwards. Babies usually always like me right away, but THEY ARE SOOOO CUTE. I just wanted to talk about it since I babysat the most precious 9 month year old while my sister and the babie's mother were moving to this new house. Anyone else like this?

My mom isn't going to let me study abroad since I am still young, I have traveled in France a lot and I am being sent there during next summer.. but still. .. and I don't mean a French forum, I want something in real life. 

Watch Halloween movies. I am going to this haunted Cave and a haunted trail.

For French Club we are making sweatshirts/tshirts for the club.. I need ideas. I was thinking on the back that it says

"Team France" but I honestly don't know what else.. haha. ;~; 

(Image removed by moi)

^ This is going to be the design, I meant to put " Le Club Francais" not " Francois" lol

On the back it is going to say, " Qu'il mangent de la brioche"  Thanks everyone for the ideas.

lol Thank you!

I really like steampunk style googles.

High School.. I can't even deal with it anymore. I know tons of people go through the same thing. I am going to be out of it really soon, 1 more school year after this one.. but I just can't stand it. It's not like I am bullied or anything bad happens there, it is just the most boring place ever. I get straight A grades, and all I do the entire time is sleep in class. My grades are slipping this quarter, but I still have 7 weeks to bring them up. I just can't anymore.. I LOVE to learn and get educated, but I hate school. My mom was going to home school me next year, but what's the point when I only have my last year left.

I just need some motivation to think of. Please help!

Hey thanks guys. Starting next semester I am going to be online schooled. My parents think that is the best thing right now. C:

It snowed yesterday and I loved it, it looks pretty any everything. I love winter, it is my favorite season.

Does anyone else see the party hats or am I late on this?

I got this. It seems right. It also mentioned me having an apitude in foreign languages which is really correct. I love learning and listening on how speech patterns are different and how other languages work. 

I was wondering if anyone else on this forum is really intrigued by languages. I mean, they are soo interesting. The only other person I really know who also finds the way people talk and cultures really cool is my sister haha, maybe since our parents had us travelling since we were really young. Does anyone else share this trait with me? I was wondering if you guys wanted to talk and stuff! Right now I speak English (Duh.) , and a bit of French. I really want to learn Farsi, Wolof, and Arabic. I study Korean alongside my French so I am going to focus on those for now though. lol

Hmmm, Today I went with my sister to a museum tour that was completely in French, everyone of course was much better than me, but I was catching up with help from my sister. Another language I can understand is Afrikaans , but I can't speak it. My mom spoke it to me as I was younger.. It is hard to find people around here that speak Farsi or Wolof so those two are pretty difficult. As for Korean, I go to a mainly Korean Church were the whole thing is held in Korean , but since I am younger I go to the Youth group with all my Korean-American friends who aren't that good at Korean. We have 4 our classes on Fridays and Sunday after service. I find the church really unique since even though it is "Korean" there are different nationalities that come to learn. Since it is such a diverse environment it is really amazing since we can all question each other about the languages we know!  Languages are so funnn!

I'm a diamond - SNSD v.v 

Well I usually pick up languages really fast because I am more visual. Usually I listen to music at first, watch shows in that language and start to emerge myself in it and listen to people speaking it, you don't just want to learn the language, you should learn the culture also.  After that I learn simple words that are usually needed like apple and stuff. Little words, then I post notes around the house and whenever I go to that item I say the word in whatever language it is in. Then I move into grammar and structure, learn where everything goes, form sentences and stuff. While still doing all the other stuff. I then start reading books meant for children and little things. It is great to have a penpal to help you. Basically I start out how a baby would, listening to everything, learning simple words, playing games, then grammar structure. Buttt, if you are learning multiple languages at a time I would suggest 2 completely different languages to start off with and to not try to learn more than 2 at a time. For say, I wouldn't want to Learn French and Spanish at the same time because you can get confused since they are both romance languages. Say learn Spanish and Chinese because they are both so different and you won't get them confused. I would suggest at first to learn something really close to English , like... Dutch. Every language usually opens a door to another language. English to Dutch, and if you learn Dutch, it is really simple to learn Afrikaans. You have to practice everyday , but try not to over do it, maybe 30 minutes a day or something. You don't want to just memorize words though, you have to basically become a baby of the language, or at least that is how I learn. lol sorry this is so long.

I just like the presents. 

Right now I am trapped in an airport because of the storms and stuff and I was suppose to be home yesterday. I just got to my second destination and I had to check my carry-on in since there wasn't any room.... I forgot I had my money, glasses, phone charger all in the bag. I asked if I could get it, but it is going to my final destination and is on its way there now. I am starving, I have 4 hours till my next flight, my phone is on 4%.... Luckily I can keep my laptop alive with the charging area next to me.... I almost forgot to take my tickets out of my checked in bag also, but gladly I grabbed them out. Aish, this is so hard out here for a pimp like me, not to mention they keep changing my gate numbers. V.V

I don't care how embarrassing it may be, but ask someone for money so you aren't starving yourself. Just pick out the most vulnerable of the pack and jump on them!

I am way to awkward for that... I found a bag of stale almonds in my bag. 

That sucks. >.<

 

I'm surprised they don't have phone charging stations as well though.

They do have a charge station, but I don't have my phone charger with me right now.I am currently charging my laptop, but I still have 3 and a half hours until I leave. I am charging my laptop at the station though. P:

What airport are you at?

Dallas International Airport.

These are the reasons I never leave my house.

I know, I am a fool for leaving my protected environment. 

Black labrador, possibly mentally retarded >.>

I have a Yellow Lab and he is the same with the leash. We had to get him a harness and now whenever we walk him and he can't pull us he barks while walking. I am pretty sure just the whole breed is failing in the mental department. 

If you find a place in there that will let someone pay via credit card over phone I'd be happy to buy you lunch. I assume Pizza Hut would but I can't find a phone number for them online.

lol Nah! I was fine, I am home now and I think I ate the entire house. I almost got frostbite though! I only had a hoodie on and it is -9 degrees where I live and I was not expecting that lol

It's Texas, any native there will buy you lunch.

Texans are scary though.

But when you hungry the struggle is real!

That's the truth.
