The French discussion.

james-bond • 26 January 2012 at 12:05 AM

I am learning French at the moment. Does anyone else speak or is learning? I need some practice! 😊 Please correct me on any mistakes I make!

Bonjour. Je m'appelle james-bond. Comment tu t'appelle? J'habite sur la plan?te terre. Toi aussi, non? J'adore ecouter de la music, jouer au tennis, manger, faire du velo, et faire du cello et piano.

*How do you say "What do you like?"

cqpkytty • 26 January 2012 at 12:05 AM

@james-bond
Just say, "Et vous?" (And you?)

crescentfeather • 26 January 2012 at 12:08 AM

Bonjour is all I know XD

I'm unsure about croissant. Or creme brulee. Notice how these are all foods... >.>

I'm going to learn French after I learn Spanish and sign language c:

james-bond • 26 January 2012 at 1:39 AM

@cqpkytty
If I wanted to ask the specific question "What do you like to do?" How would you say it?

icymuffin • 26 January 2012 at 1:59 AM

I think it's like
Qu'est-ce que vous aimez faire?

I'm pretty sure that way is formal/for people you don't know too well :]

james-bond • 26 January 2012 at 2:01 AM

@ icymuffin
Do you speak french fluently too?

icymuffin • 26 January 2012 at 2:04 AM

@james-bond
Not fluently, but I'm learning.
I'll make mistakes with spelling, but I usually can get the gist of what people are trying to say ^^

cqpkytty • 26 January 2012 at 10:33 AM

@james-bond
I don't know xP

But "Et vous?" basically means "And how about you?"

lizardfeather • 26 January 2012 at 10:37 AM

Yea I think the informal way of asking what you like is
"Qu'est-ce que tu aimes faire?"

And icymuffin has the formal way xD

miomar • 26 January 2012 at 10:39 AM

I'm learning French too =^)

gvantsa • 26 January 2012 at 3:37 PM

I was learning French in high school, so i was able to understand what you were saying however I cannot really speak and write it well 😋

oranberry100 • 28 January 2012 at 9:25 PM

Grrrr I've been 'learning' French for many many years now, and I hardly learned anything. I hate my French teacher.
By the way, Ca va?
XD that's One thing I know, though

james-bond • 28 January 2012 at 9:30 PM

@oranberry100
Cava bien, merci! Est que t'aime egg cave?

oranberry100 • 28 January 2012 at 9:32 PM

@james-bond Ok it's little things like that, that I don't know. Sorry! 😋 I feel so stupid

blackrose_chan • 28 January 2012 at 9:34 PM

Yes but I don't know how to put together sentences well xD

I'm at lesson with Infinitif(verbs that end with re, er, or ir.)

I know how to say Ces't aujourd ' hui, Samendi vingt-huit, Janvier.

I think I spelled that write xD

james-bond • 28 January 2012 at 9:34 PM

@oranberry100 that's okay! 😊

@lizardfeather is this following sentance gramatically correct?
Est que t'aime egg cave?

lizardfeather • 29 January 2012 at 10:43 AM

@james-bond

Almost! You have the right sound, but your spelling of est-ce que is a bit off, you don't pronounce it like this, but it's spelled > Est-CE que <.

And you don't combine the tu and aime, (it's hard to explain) but you only combine certain sounds so it flows, but tu and aime can flow without being contracted, sorry if that doesn't make sense >.<


It'll come out looking like this:
Est-ce que tu aime l'Eggcave?

I think you need to have an article before a noun (not sure), so I just put > l' <

james-bond • 29 January 2012 at 3:26 PM

@lizardfeather
Merci beaucoup! Oui, je comprend.

jazzyleia • 29 January 2012 at 3:28 PM

Bonjour @james-bond. J'appelle jazzyleia. Tu parle francais? Je et tu!

(last sentece might be wrong)

james-bond • 29 January 2012 at 3:33 PM

Bonjour @jazzyleia! Cava? Je parle francais un petit peu. Qu'est-ce que tu aimes faire?

Yeah, the last sentance might be something like "Moi et toi"

jazzyleia • 29 January 2012 at 3:34 PM

@james-bond

Can't believe i have been in french for 2 years and still can't make sentences! 😃

Tres bien. Cava?

james-bond • 29 January 2012 at 3:36 PM

@jazzyleia You can make sentances! 😃

Cava bien, merci. Qu'est-ce que tu aimes faire egg cave?

@james-bond
Ooh, I'm learning French to. I was wondering about joining a French game site to improve, wonder why I didn't think of this. I've been learning it for a few years, but I'm not that good and wanted to improve.

Anyway, lets see if I get this right and not mess up.

Bonjour, comment ca va?

sakura2596 • 29 January 2012 at 3:43 PM

i don't know french all i know is english and romanian. XD

james-bond • 29 January 2012 at 8:19 PM

@lily-
Cava bien merci! Quest-ce que tu aime faire?

lily- • 30 January 2012 at 12:55 PM

@james-bond
I pretty sure I know what that means, now lets see if I can answer it right...

J'aime lire mes livres et j'aime jouer sur EC et toi?




I so hope I said that right, I had to search some words up because I forgot them *facepalm*. I so should have concentrated in French lessons more. XD

james-bond • 31 January 2012 at 1:26 AM

@lily-

J'adore ecouter de la music, jouer au tennis, manger, faire du velo, et faire du cello et piano.
Quest-ce que tu aime l'ecole?

lily- • 31 January 2012 at 1:57 PM

@james-bond
Shouldn't there be a dans before l'ecole to say in school? Oh and isn't there supposed to be a ' after Qu?


Dans mon ecole j'aime le mathematique le plus et aussi j'aime la science.
qu'est ce que t'aime?

maineen • 31 January 2012 at 2:00 PM

I learn French, not that I like it, we HAVE to learn it -.- xD

I want to learn Spanish 😃
