You guys can come and ask me questions about both French of France and Canadian French.
Well Canadian French because we have tons of expressions and accents to the point that French people from France can't really understand us.
I grew up in different towns of Quebec and I know all level of Quebec expressions.
I also grew up 1 year in France so I know the whole difference and expressions they use.

Maybe I can help.
At the moment, here, it seems like everyone already got helped.
For personal help, come to me. Especially for extreme sophisticated Canadian French (Qu�b�cois)...

Je vois qu'il y a du monde Qu�b�cois ici comme moi... � moins que vous aviez tous immigr� � Qu�bec...

wow this thread rocks
i'm in french 5 (junior year in high school) but i suckkkkkk at french
so i will definitely come to you guys for help when i need it!
oh yeah i've been having trouble with imperfect, future (like i will do this, je irais.. etc), and conditional.. i can't really tell them apart sometimes? whats the easiest way to learn tenses and endings?

[tsukemene123]

Haha honestly? Practice. I took French for six years and I still couldn't choose my verb tenses by the end of it. My teacher used to get so frustrated with me. But it was because I never took the time to practice, study, and learn.

[justaddclouds]

this thread is my life right here.. hahahaha
you shall see me back soon
very soon =P

I'm back again. ><
With another question - how would you write: "She is a student at _____."

Would it work if I wrote: "Elle est une etudiante au _____."
Because I remember that you can't have vowels following vowels in a sentence.

Because I remember that you can't have vowels following vowels in a sentence.

That rule doesn't always apply. It's mostly to deal with objects, like "Je te l'ai donne" (I gave it to you). "Le" was shortened to "l'" so you don't have to say the awkward "le ai." Or, a more popular example, "Je t'aime" (I love you), where "te" is shortened to "t'". Sorry, I can't remember if there is a hard and fast rule for this.

But in the sentence you gave, "Elle est une etudiante au _____," even though there are vowels back-to-back, it would sound like, "Ellestunetudiantau" or "ellaytunaytudiantau" (haha that looks crazy) because of the liaison effect. All the words would string together.

Haha I just realized I didn't answer your question. In short, yes, your sentence works.

Haha okay, sweet - thanks.

I have another question though
Since "numero" is masculine when I write "her phone number is" I would have to write:
Son numero de telephone est ____.
instead of
Sa numero de telephone est ____.
Right?

Sorry for asking so many questions.

[tsukemene123]

Yes, that's correct! In french, when you say my, his, hers, theirs, our, etc., the word is masculine or feminine depending on the object, not its owner. So in english you would say "her dog," but in french you say "son chien."

Translation is:

Je suis une perdante.
Quand j'�tudie le fran�ais, c'est tr�s difficile parce que j'�tudie toute seule.

You were pretty close! Not bad at all.

I don't know what do you mean by cute
but here , there are a lot of french quotes about love and friendship
If you have a problem, just feel free to ask me :3

And for your sentence, the right traduction is : "Sans vous, mon coeur (me) fait tant mal"

[onewhite lie]

Oh wow, I've never came across this thread before!
Could really use this for my French homework XD



I dislike French very much T-T

[Arounai]

Ooooh, I love French! At my school at my friends take Spanish because they think French isn't exactly usable in California, but I still love it. I wanna go to France one day! O:

"C'est SUPER CHOUETTE!" or "super COOL!" teehee, my class and I love saying that with French accents. xD
and the other day when the classroom was too cold because the AC was on full blast, we kept screaming "Il fait froid" at the most random times.


and for those of you who need help on their french homework,
I usually just use this site: www.freetranslation.com
some of the translations are a little inaccurate because they're literal,
but when you don't have a French dictionary handy
then you can get a translation for a word quick. (:

[soyabeangirl16]
