This morning our French teacher told us that she will learn us a lot of useful phrases. All that she has learnt us is:
Je cherche une craie bleue. I am looking for a blue chelk. Des chausettes de Bernadette sont sous la table á la maison. Bernadette's socks are at home, under the table. Michel a la jolie soutien-gorge. Michael (Yes, yes... Michael!!!) has a beautiful bra.
No comment.

Hmm... if I learned my French correctly, it should be "Les chaussettes de Bernadette sont en dessous de la table." "Sous" means directly beneath, as in someone nailed them to the bottom of the table. "En dessous" means underneath, like on the floor under the table. But I've only been taking French for five years, so maybe it really makes no difference. Maybe one of the Canadiennes on the forum speaks French and could better inform us?
How do you like French? I love it- it's such a beautiful language.
Here's my favorite French phrase: "Si mon ton-ton tond le monton de ton ton-ton, ton ton-ton tondu sera." It means "If my uncle shaves your uncle's chin, your uncle will be shaven." (For non-Francophones, it's pronounced something like "See mone tone tone tone luh mone tone duh tone tone tone, tone tone tone tone doo ser rah."

You know, I'm just a beginner. We are learning only an elementary French, so I think it could cause that difference between our translates. Our teacher (Mrs. Kollar) is probably trying to teach us everything in the easier way and I like it, because then it doesn't seems to be so difficult for us. I have started learning French on September and I love it - it's a really beautiful language, but I can't tell the same thing about Mrs. Kollar! Even thought there are more horrible teachers on our school. When You see her, You are pretty sure that her head is filled by kittens and bunnies but she can be so... so... Ehm, I'm just trying to tell You it's not very funny to be her student I'm also learning English - I've started before 9 years, but I still have many things to learn.

That is greatly amusing to me..i took spanish but my teacher was old and insane..one time we played this game where you commanded people to do things(we were learning commands) and someone commanded this girl to run around the room 20 times. but she was like "no, this is gay." and she just walked and my teacher goes "sit down, i'll do it!" and he ran full speed around the room and everytime he went around he yelled "uno!" "dos!" etc. until he got to 20..and that was only one of the great memories i had of spanish class. ;D

i took spanish too, but learned very little... we ate some crazy spanish chips. the only valuable knowledge i gleaned from those months came from the day the teacher's 1983 Dodge was struck by lightning in the parking lot. she came in that morning in a less than sane mood, and we learned some unprintable Spanish.

My Spanish teacher postponed my test (just for me) only because she thought I was a good student, knowing me for the third marking period in a row. I got 23/29 on a former test though...

Oh, my goodness! As we're on the subject of languages, my French class took the most wonderful field trip on Thursday to the local art museum, which was hosting an exhibit of French photographer Robert Doisneau's photographs. It was absolutely amazing--- one of the best days of my life. I doubt that anyone recognizes him by name, but you've probably seen his "Baiser de L'Hotel de Ville."Definitely run a web search on him. He's fantastic! Elen sila lumenn omentielvo, Lomadia Link to "Baiser de L'Hotel de Ville" www.2x36.ru/articles/discussion/doisneau.jpg

My old teacher was so stupid that he put the students watching french movies in black in white in a extra small TV, without any translation... And, at the end of the film he wanted us to make a summary of it... Well... we couldn't understand not even the most important ideas of the film...!!! He used to sing in the classes the song of the "Maia bee" (I'm not very sure if you know it... It's a cartoon for babies) in french... He used to talk about her daughter and make Yoga while we, students, were making a test... Well... The guy was nice... A little bit crazy, but nice... (I still don't know almost nothing of french... =P And I had 3 years of french classes...)
