Members Misha III Posted November 6, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 I only speak french and english. I would like to know a bit of spanish too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zenbu Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 if you speak French, Spanish is not that much of a stretch...I studied it at Concordia. Grammar is very similar and often I could guess the meaning of Spanish words seen for the first time because they were so close to French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I could surf the Web in Spanish! By the way Concordia is a great University! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JasmineTea Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 My sister speaks French and sometimes she replaces little phrases like "Thank you," "Why?" and "Come here" with their French cousins and it is really annoying.EllenMisha's the real thing. French is her first language. She still slips up her english now and then, but when she first started hanging out here it was obvious...and, kinda sexy. Ex: "That's what I've been said!" -Misha, from this thread. I love it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members totamus Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 Oh will you two get a room! According to my up to date universal encyclopedia of HTML and guitar fake book, it is not necessary to close the whiny teenage girl voice tag.Once the whiny teenage girl is opened, it will remain open until is damn good and ready to close (or it gets what it wants), so closing it serves no purpose, other than of course as just a good programming habit.

Members Misha III Posted November 8, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 lol I'm still waiting for JT... in Montreal! It's true... I still speak "engrish" sometimes! If you would hear me you would know right away that I'm French (from Quebec). I have a strong accent! - And Kwak, No, I don't think "kismet" is a French word. My question: "That's what I've been said!" ... What would be the correct sentence? " That's what I've been told." ?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kwakatak Posted November 9, 2007 Members Share Posted November 9, 2007 lol My question: "That's what I've been said!" ... What would be the correct sentence? " That's what I've been told." ?????? The correct answer would be: "That's what I've been saying." LOL - I'm told English is a difficult language to learn what with so many exceptions to grammatical rules. French is baffling to me since it seems to be filled with contractions.

Members zenbu Posted November 9, 2007 Members Share Posted November 9, 2007 I thought it could have meant one of two things... thats what I`ve been told or thats what I was saying...though that didn`t realy fit into context. But I grew up with a French Canadian dad who spoke English so I`m accustomed to it. My mom is a Brit who spoke French...my sister tells me Alzheimers has robber her of that now... but talk about broken languages, I was raised with two...no biggie...and now I`m married to a Japanese woman so...you wanna talk about Engrish? Youse should hear my Japanese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I didn't mean "that's what I've been saying". I was talking about something someone else told me! French grammar is worst than English grammar. French grammar is very complicated even for French people. Even the teachers in Quebec make mistakes! (Our poor education system!) ... But English pronunciation is much harder for me than the French grammar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But English pronunciation is much harder for me than the French grammar! *blank stare*uh - okay...you've confused me in my mother tongue. That's really not a difficult thing to do though! ...so let me try this again. You meant to say "that's what I've been told?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zenbu Posted November 9, 2007 Members Share Posted November 9, 2007 well.....I wouldn`t say I know Japanese, the first thing people say when meet them and tell them how long I`ve been here is....OH, your Japanese must be great...but...I don`t study it and the little I know I got by osmosis. I have so many hobbies that theres little time for studying Japanese and once I go home, there`ll be little need to. I am not conversational in the language. My photography has improved though !
