Hey guys,
Thanks Jeffers for getting the team thread started. Thanks luke for chipping in and Mohave too. I've got a lot on at the moment so I'm just dropping in to say hi and I'll be back with some more input asap chipping away at things as i find the time here and there. Merci Jeffers pour avoir commencé le fil de notre équipe. Merci luke et Mohave pour un peu d'aide aussi. Je suis très occupé en ce moment, alors pour ça je suis tombé ici tout simplement pour dire salut à tous et je reviendrai avec plus d'informations quand j'aurai le temps de temps en temps. Good luck everyone! Bonne chance tout le monde ! Monsieur le premier ministre PeterMollenburg 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thanks! Yes, definitely. Arriving to B1 has been a breeze, but the kind of path that I need to jump higher requires me to go deeper in the language. For sure I will have favourites at the end :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Username: luke
Level in French: intermediate Link to log: luke log Favourite book: Le Petit Prince Favourite comic/BD: Asterix le Galois - the only one I've read, other than Assimil comics. Favourite film: Amélie which I saw many years ago when I was studying Spanish. Favourite TV series: Le Petit Nicolas cartoons. Favourite band/singer/musician: The Replacements Favourite audiobook/podcast: Le Sens du Bonheur Favourite textbook: French In Action Favourite audio learning resource: FSI Basic French Favourite video learning resource: French In Action Favourite web-based learning resource: Lingvist Anything else about your learning journey: I was very fluent, but probably very unusual in word selection in French when I was at Uni going into my third semester (basically year 2). I felt a terrible insult from the prof outside of class in front of a couple of other students and the bloom immediately came off the rose and I dropped French for about 30 years. I'm three years back in, but I've not used my original "talk to yourself constantly in French" approach that was so effective when I was a young man in love with someone who had 4 years of French in high school and tested out of it at Uni.

Username: s.mann
Level in French: repeat beginner (A1/A2?) but I need C1 to make this a professional asset Link to log: http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=39734 (sorry, don't know how to create a link, will update if I figure it out) Favourite book: Le Petit Prince is the only one I've read in French Favourite comic/BD: Not really my genre, but I'll read Asterix le Galois for the exposure Favourite film: Populaire - popcorny fun Favourite TV series: Marco Polo - again, the only one I've watched dubbed in French, and really only watched it because the dub is available streaming from Netflix Favourite band/singer/musician: Coeur de Pirate Favourite audiobook/podcast: None as of yet Favourite textbook: None Favourite audio learning resource: Pimsleur Favourite video learning resource: FluentU used to be it, until they took away what I was working on and made it paid content. If Readlang will support video for uploads (i see he has some he posted) then I'll try that next. Favourite web-based learning resource: Lingvist.io, although I have much love for Duolingo for being committed to being free which Lingvist doesn't intend. Anything else about your learning journey: Took it for a year in HS and a semester in college more than 10 years ago, so I didn't get far. Have gotten farther in the last 3 months with self-study internet and library materials. I intend to focus exclusive and intensely on French up to the B2 level, then level off, let it entertain/inform me while revisiting my Spanish studies, hopefully by this time next year. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I'm hoping that this year I can get to at least a high B2 level in speaking, writing and listening and perhaps C1 at reading. I would however also like to refresh my knowledge of the basics!

Bonjour tout le monde! Typing this on my phone in my hotel room in Noumea ( for those that don't know,
capital of French speaking New Caledonia) where I've been for 24 hours and managed to complete some of the basic tourist tasks we're supposed to be able to do: buying bus tickets, taking a taxi, ordering in restos/bars, asking for directions and actually understanding the answer enough not to get too lost. So yay. I''m actually ready already to up and move here forever. It's gorgeous. There is some very strange comedy variety show on France 2 (Les Rois des Betesier) at the moment ..... Anyway I am definitely on this team but it's not letting me cut and paste the intro questions on my phone so I'll have to wait until next week to do that. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Salut, tout le monde. Je suis Lakeseayesno (je suis une femme, mon vrai nom est Siskia), je habite au Mexique, et j'ai commencé a apprendre français à decembre 2014. C'est ma formulaire.
Username: Lakeseayesno Level in French: A1 Link to log: La troisième crusade Favourite film: Amelie Favourite textbook: Not favourite, but I have a pretty good Larousse grammar for offline study Favourite web-based learning resource: Duolingo, Lingvist, FluentU, 7 jours sur la planète (app), Italki (among others) Anything else about your learning journey: I'm one of those weird specimens that didn't get French during high-school. Actually, one of the reasons I skipped so many questions is precisely because I know very little about French culture, and I hope, through the study of its language, to get better acquaintanced with it.

1.Username:plumbem!
2.Level in French: B2 3.Link to log:http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.a sp?TID=39781 4.Favourite book: Candide! It is my hope to get into some philosophy by the end of the year. 5.Favourite comic/BD: I really like Tintin! Asterix is great too but some of it is definitely above my head. The Incal series by Jodorowski + Moebius is beautiful and I would highly recommend it if you are even a little into Sci-fi. 6.Favourite film:I like the films of Luis Bunuel, particularly The Dicreet Charm of the Bourgeousie 7.Favourite TV series: Sadly, probably a French dub of an American/Brtish series...I am enjoying Avatar and Planet Earth at the moment. I also found the Tintin series to be awesome. 8.Favourite band/singer/musician: Pheonix! I need to find a French musician I like with lyrics in French 9that are easy to understand! Stromae is pretty interesting. 9.Favourite audiobook/podcast: Podcast-> Terre a Terre http://www.franceculture.fr/emission-terre-a-terre-0 Audiobooks-> http://www.litteratureaudio.com 10.Favourite textbook: A Student Grammar of French (Oxford) My favorite reference grammar. 11.Favourite audio learning resource: Michel Thomas Advanced. So good! 12.Favourite video learning resource: None as of present. 13.Favourite web-based learning resource: GLOSS exercises 14.Anything else about your learning journey: I am also trying to give half of my study time to Dutch. Luckily I am WWOOFing in France until the end of March which I will either use as a reason to focus more on my French or to let it go a little bit. Come July I will put most of my energy into French to prepare for a departure to Senegal in November. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
