Anyone else do French? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

webuster · 09-22-2003, 12:56 PM

Does anyone else here do French?? For the past couple weeks our teachers been saying there's a test tomorrow, then postpones- and usually I wait a while to study and the test was today. Anyhoo- I came second last(14/48) - last year I was first in french in the end of year examinations- and the person who was last today came second in the exams last year! It's all about tenses-doesn't help that it's not explained much.
Anyway- now I'm redoing the test and she said we're doing it tomorrow in French, now I've found out we don't have French tomorrow- I dunno now if she'll call us out of class!
I hate languages so much!

I have french. I get about 80 or higher mostly. Do you need help or are you just saying you hate french?

I hate when I study for a test and then the teacher postpones it!

Je ne parle pas francaise (and I'm pretty sure I misspelled that)

I still got asked for directions three times in Paris

I took two years of french. I guess it could really be three because I failed French 1 the first time.

I took French for 3 years in high school, and to this day can't tell you anything I learned..

My oldest sister teaches French and English at a local high school. She lived in France for about a year or two and went to school there and learn the language some more. I never took French because my high school only taught Spanish.

Actually, you spelled it very close to being correct. It's just: je n'ai parle pas le francais. With a little circonflexe under the "c".

By the way, anyone know a site or something to show how to get those little symbol things?

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 09-22-2003, 08:24 PM

Nope, I take Spanish. Yay for me. I don't understand why the world doesn't speak one great language...it'd be a lot easier that way. And, of course, it'd be one less class to take.

Bienvenue!

I listen to French everyday! Everybody speaks it here! (Vivre au Québec!)

I'm in French 2 right now. The only reason I really take it is because my mom is fluent and teaches French at a middle school and she really wanted me to.

Titania · 09-22-2003, 09:24 PM

oui, je le parle

webuster · 09-23-2003, 01:21 PM

No, I don't need help or anything-I'm just saying I hate it, and I've been studying for ages now. I've taken 6 French tests in the past, alot of them important- and this is probably the hardest! Most tests I took in French were relatively easy-anyway, it's a test on tenses. I used to learn Irish, but now I don't I've forgotten everything to do with it- I wasn't even good at remembering stuff in Irish, the tests so hard I think they give points for just making an attempt- I still managed to get a 70 in it.

Both my French teachers are from France now (I have to do just 'French' and 'Conversational French')

I took French all four years in high school. I always got straight A's. I remember very little of it now though.
