Well, you haven't heard from me in a long time.

I'm still learning french i school..

We have talked about numbers, weather, months, days, etc.. Many things.

I think it's hard, casue there's so many words to remember :(


Au REvoir. Martin. :)

The English vocabulary has some 800,000 words when the French has 'only' 400,000 ;)

Yet French uses a lot of expression composed of 2 or more words. That's kinda different.

Je suis tres fatique....

I can remember a little french from 7th grade.

The problem with French is not the vocabulary (let's say it's not the biggest problem)

I don't know for somebody from Denmark but I know for Germans, the first thing that is really new and disturbing is the pronunciation. They have to forget to say every letter. We don't realize that, but it's true : many letters are not pronounced especially final letters.

Of course, tons of stupid rules with stupid exceptions, irregular verbs, etc.

I do have respect for foreign people learning French!

The French pronounciation is a pain. And it has been simplified because the old French was even harder.

Now if you ask a Frenchmen "what does 'vert' mean"? (or any word that is pronounced exactly the same way), he has to first ask you about the spelling since there are like 4 different words that are prounounced like that.

we'd ask in what context the word is to be used. then we'd know.

"Worm", "green" and "to"... I don't see the 4th one (doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but I don't have it in mind).

un soulier de vair...

Pas mal.

Exarchus, you mean 'towards', not 'to'.

Yes, bloody structures of sentences

Lol, that just goes to prove how difficult it can be! Anyway, thumbs up to anybody not a native learning french, and we should know, shouldn't we? easy to forget all the rules of the language, as per my personal experience.

If I was a non native French speaker. I would be the last one that would want to learn it.

"Worm", "green" and "to"... I don't see the 4th one (doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but I don't have it in mind).

Un verre peut-être (glass, lens, drink) ;)

That's 5.

All with a totaly different spelling.

and then there's Maire, Mer, Mère...

"Worm", "green" and "to"... I don't see the 4th one (doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but I don't have it in mind).

This is a real challenge.
I know people who tried to... try.
