[QUOTE=PeterMollenburg] En regardant le début du Tour de France en ce moment-là, j'ai envie encore de
parler le hollandais et pour cette raison de retourner à l'étudier. Mais en regardant la présentation des équipes du Tour avant le commencement de la course même, j'ai écouté Nairo Quintana parler espagnol. Je l'ai compris sans problème, mais bien-sûr il n'a pas dit de mots difficiles en s'exprimant aux spéctateurs hollandais. Comme d'habitude je crois qu'il sera une choix entre le Néerlandais et l'espagnol quand je prendrai la décision finalement d'étudier une deuxième langue étrangère. Mais en ce moment, aussi comme d'habitude, c'est seulement une langue. Le français, le français et... le français. Néanmoins le hollandais et l'espagnol me manquent.... Reconnaissez-vous cette chanson anglais des années quatre-vingts (traduction française) : Elle ne sort que la nuit Elle est du style mince et affamé Il n'y a rien de neuf, je l'ai déjà vu ici avant Regardant et attendant Ooh, elle s'assoit avec toi mais ses yeux sont rivés sur la porte Taken from http://lyricstranslate.com/fr/maneater-mangeuse-dhommes.html #ixzz3evaEZeKX [/QUOTE C'est très intéressant que tu parles ce sujet maintenant ! Moi aussi, je veux commencer mes études d'espagnol maintenant. Je voyage au sud-ouest des Êtas-Unis et j'entends espagnol chaque jour. Je peux comprendre beaucoup, mais je le veux plus ! ! Je l'ai presque commencé l'autre jour..... Mais je dis moi- même, bientôt, bientôt! D'abord, il faut finir des choses françaises, mais c'est très difficile ! Bon courage à toi ! On doit maintenir le cap ! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Je dois le dire... Je m'amuse beaucoup ces jours-là en apprenant le français ! Même sans beaucoup de
matériaux natifs. Alors quand je commerncerai et les utilser plus, on dirait que je serai aux anges :) J'adore l'apprentissage des langues étrangères, comme beaucoup de monde ici sur le forum j'en suis sur à la prochaine ! (J'ai décidé de rester être-humain pour le moment. Peut-être que dans une semaine ou deux je me transformerai en une chèvre... ..on va voir) PM le fou 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I'm not really sure how many people follow my log, but i'd like to invite everyone and
anyone for some input here. I'm actually just curious, and if you have a spare moment and could give 2 hoots, then pipe up and say your piece people(s)<---- note optional singular there to denote/demonstrate not too much of an inflated ego on my part. I ain't even jokin' know what I'm sayin'? I'm inviting insight from the outside. I'd like to know what you think from your perspective as to what I could do to improve my French learning, but only really if it seems clear to you I should be doing something. I may be a little grandiose here thinking that even a few people know my situation well. I think generally people have better things to do than read logs all day. Mine being no exception. Yes we read bits and pieces of others' logs here and there, but to know another's journey in depth is likely unrealistic. Nonetheless if you feel you can provide some input into my methods you're most welcome, critical or otherwise- taking into account, naturally, that i'm, naturally, a little crazy. What do you think I need to do to improve my French? Keep doing the same? Add something, remove something, do something else? Bash a fat block of cheese with a clump of lump? Curiousity more than anything is driving this, but i'm certainly open to evolving my methods somewhat. I'm not going to turn it all upside down though as I am getting results in my own kind of crazy way, but I i'm not perfect enough to know that my methods are ahem *cough, cough* far from perfect? Pfft, whatever, PM aka MC Esprit yep, for once, let's talk about me You hear me on the radio, see me on TV? What you didn't see? You must be hurtin' Don't withdraw, keep 'em open, those bloody curtains Jump up like a kickin' frog on the attack check my log, that'll bring you right back not from the dead, but close indeed back up to speed, soothe your need, stop your hurting 'fore you bleed PM monsieur le premier a transformé en une chèvre, remember? C'est ce que je vous ai dit Qu'une chèvre serai meee I'm out, gots places, like, to be word Edited to add a turd Edited by PeterMollenburg on 09 July 2015 at 9:09am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I think you're making clear progress. as Mighty Winston Churchill once said, "
If you're going through hell, keep going". 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

How about multitasking? Watch the Ashes 1st Test in Cardiff whilst doing some French
grammar or something. Doing an intensive language activity and watching a game usually makes it less stressful. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks for your input luke. Sounds good, I'll keep soldiering on :) Many a 'great' person has said many a pertinent thing. Winston Churchill in this case perhaps being the pertinent one. Not so sure about his 'greatness'. I must say although I've not done any research on Churchill himself (I used to live in a town named after him btw) I have an immediate distrust of all major political figures of any recent times, particularly if they are 'sold' to us with a lot of positive spin. Nothing is what it seems. We are all sheep in a socially engineered society in which we are fed our own opinions, behave with a herd mentality and are indoctrined throughout our lives to be shaped into what the powers that be want us to be. Facebook is a perfect mechanism for this btw. History doesn't hapen the way we are taught, political figures are not the people we think they are. . We are for the most part thoughtless robots, manipulated, unhealthy tax payers blind to our own power. Churchill I suspect was just another of a long line of positively publicly presented 2nd or 3rd tier puppet masters. Of course I could be wrong, but I'm not going to adopt the general view just because it's fed to me. I'd prefer to meet Churchill, get to know him and then see what he's all about. You think you could arrange to bring him back from the dead? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Although I do most of my reading while driving, writing while cycling and am actually studying several other languages in the next dimension while having out of body experiences during sleep- the problem there is I can't manipulate physical 3rd dimensional objects such as books, so I have bought so many duplicate copies of various textbooks to study during my out of body studies that it's sending me broke in the 3rd dimension. You see I can't turn the pages so I have to lay several copies of the same book out all over the house open on different pages in order for me to study enough material. Of course I do traval to France while asleep too and listen in on real conversations. That can be tricky though as like many other scholars who participate in such activities it's very difficult to hear clearly without remaining perfectly still and that is a challenge. Getting bak to the 'although,....' Although (insert: all of the above), I should really start writing my notes in the hospital in French, and communicating with all patients and staff in French. Assholes should know I've got some learning to do, and they're just bloody well holding me back. As for cricket, doesn't overly interest me (ok, not at all, sorry), but I could request that all the players, fans, umpires and the like simply change their language to French. Shouldn't take too much to convince them really, I mean the UK being right next to France, they're basically French anyway. I ain't even me PM 1 person has voted this message useful |
