It also works in Portuguese and that would be: "Ele errou a rede! Que tragédia! Jamais encontraremos outra pessoa de seu calibre." 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

It's very basic but I just found it on the internet and managed to get it without
trouble (except a few new words): Joe arrive au bar et quand le barman lui demande : - Qu'est ce que vous buvez ? Il répond : - Quand Joe boit tout le monde boit ! Le barman s'étonne de sa générosité, et sert boire à tout le monde. Une demi-heure plus tard Joe a fini son verre et dit : - Quand Joe boit tout le monde boit! Le barman se dit : - Vraiment généreux ! Il en remet une deuxième. Il la sert. Plusieurs tournées se passent. Le barman arrive près de Joe et lui dit : Il faudrait penser à payer parce que là, vous êtes à plus de 100 euros. Et Joe répond : - Quand Joe paye, tout le monde paye ! and: Monsieur et Madame Ouzzi ont un fils... Il s'appelle Jacques! 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks, Flarioca - I'd never have known that "jamais" was a Portuguese word too!
I love wordplay and puns! Now, this one would work in English too, but not - despite "Jacuzzi" itself being an Italian surname, in Italian. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

You're welcome. However, be aware that the pronunciation of "jamais" in Portuguese is quite different from the French one. In Portuguese (Carioca accent) that would be [ʒamai̯ʃ]. The /ai/ is a diphthong. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

For jokes, I just discovered Blackpoules, which is a good laugh. Most of the jokes would work in any language, but this one's based on a well-known French proverb, "when hens have teeth", which is similar to our "when pigs fly":

I've just discovered that Vie de merde, which Emk's mentioned
on the forums, has Italian and two Spanish versions: Vita di merda Asco de vida Vaya mierda de vida I wonder, do Spanish speakers (with their two sites vs. one for French and Italian) have more humorously fraught lives?

I realize I haven't written much in my log lately or been reading the logs of other team members. Sorry for that! Been really busy with school.
Still managed to get a good amount of French practice in, though. I have a conversation or two nearly every day on Skype or Verbling, and often listen to the radio while doing schoolwork, too. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm a big fan of Asterix and the following image is among my preferred sequences. I think that it doesn't require a translation :-))
There are many other language related jokes in Asterix, like this one I've used on another thread. 
EDIT: I often feel myself like Obelix in this image, while trying to learn a new language. Even worse, indeed. Edited by Flarioca on 01 May 2013 at 3:05am 2 persons have voted this message useful |
