A couple of links for those Pax members learning French:

http://www.dufrancaisaufrancais.com/

Quote:
Le site Traduction du français au français se veut l’équivalent d’un petit guide linguistique. Sa
particularité? Celle de traduire du français au français, ou plus précisément du français du Québec au
français de France, et vice-versa. Il s’adresse autant aux Québécois qui voyagent en Europe qu’aux Français
qui visitent le Québec.


This might be particularly useful for folks who've studied/speak European French (e.g. via Assimil, etc.) and
are travelling to Quebec.   (And, of course, vice-versa; but I believe here on Htlal there are more members in
the former category than the latter.) There are short articles, a dictionary section (click on the actual
words/terms to get full explanations, including indications as to which usages are FR and which are QC), a
games/quiz section.

And a short (text) snippet from Radio-Canada about the 2014 edn of Le Robert, with particular mention
of Canadian/Quebec terms. The link is too long to post here, but if you Google "Radio-Canada.ca
Dictionnaire Robert" , it should be the first result.

I notice that Sunja's posted a summary of active TAC 2013 folks on the main TAC thread. Now that
we're past the half-way mark, how's everyone doing?

I'm still hanging in there. Haven't been updating much, but I've been working towards finishing the reading part of my Spanish Super Challenge. I never realized how much 10,000 pages was! :D

I did great.

I went from never having had a conversation in French to having had a couple hundred.

I went from hardly being able to understand any movies or TV shows to being able to understand most of them most of the time.

I went from being able to read slowly and with difficulty to being able to read at a reasonable pace with good comprehension.

In August I visited Paris and never had communication problems.

Rather than diminishing as I progress through the intermediate stage, my enthusiasm for the French language is only increasing, and I see next year being at least as good as this one has been.

My Spanish has grown by leaps and bounds. I'm almost finished with my Super Challenge reading. I'm surprised by how much reading has improved my ability to understand everything I hear.

French has fallen by the wayside, but I think 2014 is going to be the year to focus on French for me. Even though I didn't accomplish everything I set out to do, I am happy with the progress I made. :D
