Thanks both Stelle and Arekkusu for becoming our godparents! I look forward to interacting with you both throughout the year as my goal is to speak Quebecois French (in all registers of speech) and your suggestions, corrections and advice will be of great aid to me.
Also, I'll just clarify that I have nothing against non-Canadians in the team; I was just joking around because our team is probably the team with the largest members to Canadian population ratio for this TAC. :) (Though I haven't checked to make sure.)

I'm all for deuxième!
Thanks to our two godparents for joining us. I don't mind that there are lots of Canadians on our team because then I get to learn about the differences between the dialects. Plus I get to say things like, "So, what about that ice hockey, eh?" Edit: Where our team members all live: Canada: 4 USA: 2 UK: 2 Australia: 1 Belgium: 1 Brazil: 1 The Netherlands: 1 + 2 Canadian godparents Edited by Iolanthe on 25 January 2014 at 10:39am 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Wat interessant! Hoi lolanthe, Jij woont toch in Nederland? Maar ik zie dat je hebt een hog niveau in de Nederlandse taal, terwijl je moedertaal Engels is? Was je niet in Nederland geboren dan? Ik heb een beetje Nederlands geleerd omdat mijn vrouw en ik woonden 5 maanden in Maastricht in 2011. Ik wilde daar wonen omdat ik de taal wilde verbeteren (ik had een beetje gestudeerd voordat wij naar Nederland verhuisd). Ik houd van Nederland, de grachten, de fietspaden, de architectuur maar m'n vrouw niet zo veel, ik hou veel van de taal ook. M'n vader was in Heerlen geboren dus wilde ik de taal leren (hij had mij geen nederlands geleerd). ---------------------------------- Traduction: Salut lolanthe Tu habites au Pays-Bas, n'est-ce pas? Mais je vois que tu as un haut niveau du Néerlandais, tandis que tu parles anglais comme langue maternelle? Est-ce que tu n'es pas née au Pays-Bas? J'ai appris un peu de Néerlandais parce que ma femme et moi, nous habitions pendent 5 mois à Maastricht en 2011. J'ai voulu y habiter pour améliorer la langue (j'avais étudié un peu avant que nous y déménagions). J'adore les Pays- Bas, les canaux, les pistes cyclables, l'architecture, mais ma femme pas beaucoup. J'adore la langue aussi. Mon père était né aux Pays-Bas, alors je voulais apprendre la langue (il ne m'avait aucun Néerlandais appris) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Peter/Steven, I'm going to PM you because there's no way I can translate what I've written in
Dutch into French at this point. Je suis un noob. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hello all Deuxième members!
I'm happy to join your TAC as a co-godparent. A quick word about myself: I'm originally from Québec, but I currently like in Western Canada. I'm not teaching right now, but I did for several years (and I do take on students every now and then if someone asks); I work as a translator, sometimes as a conference interpreter, and I also create language-learning material (ie. for Frenchpod101 and I wrote a course on spoken Québec French). Where I may be most of use is perhaps pronunciation and Québec French, but of course, I'll try to answer any question you may have. You are lucky to have two godparents -- make the best of it, starting NOW! I will be following this thread for questions, but feel free to PM me as needed.

I'm very glad to have a co-godparent! I won't feel so bad when I have to abandon you for six weeks.
This team is lucky to have Arekkusu - he's very knowledgeable and has written a great guide for learning Québecois! 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Je comprends, ce n'était pas facile pour moi non plus. Je crois qu'hier était un 'jour hollandais' pour moi parce que j'ai écrit un mail en Néerlandais au cousin de mon père qui habite au Pays-Bas. Après ça ma femme m'avait appelé et j'avais envie de parler un peu de Néerlandais avec elle au téléphone (je ne sais pas exacetement pourquoi). Elle peut me comprendre ces jours-là mais elle ne peut pas parler si bien. Mais la chose que je veux te dire maintenant c'est que... après que je t'avais écrit ces mos en Néerlandais, tout à coup j'ai réalisé que c'était SIIIII DIFFICILE de traduire ces mots en français. Le cerveau insiste à continuer à penser en Néerlandais!!! Après tous ces mois d'études de français, je ne pouvais pas penser en français. C'est pourquoi maintenant que je préfère parler avec toi ici en français- pour pratiquer encore! Avec tout ça j'ai appris encore que c'est si important de parler la langue qu'on étudie- ça c'est vraiment pourquoi Néerlandais est quelquefois plus fort que le français pour moi, puisque j'y habitais cinq mois. À bientôt lolanthe, et enchantée! Bonne chance avec tes études aussi! PM 1 person has voted this message useful |
