| RedLeader01 | So Drev, how did the test go? You forgot to tell us (in Enlglish please). I can't speak French, so I use the Altavista World Translator: http://babelfish.altavista.com/ | |

I took the test, and it wasn't hard. First was an oral part where the teacher said a word and you must decide if it is masculin or femanine, but with none of the un/une la/le, just the word. Then a similar one but we had to circle the masculine or femanine word (she said the world for good, so we had to circle either bon or bonne) Then we had family members. That was easy. Then a review of etre. Then avoir. Then -er verbs like voyager and nager. Then a cultural section about french hotels and families (like how the average has 2 children and such) It was easy. I hope I did good. Last test I got a 75.

| Bass | I already have a job lined up so that I'll be able to live in France in a couple of years. Hopefully I'll be able to become fluent after staying there for a while. | |

| kellychaos | I've taken three years of high school french and three semester in college. And what did I learn about language classes? That there really is not a whole lot to UNDERSTAND about another language. I received A's in all those classes and got by on pure memorization. I barely remember any of it. Sure, if I were to pick up a some book with french text, I'd understand most of it but to speak conversationally ... not hardly. I'm of the opinion that to really learn a language, you have to immerse yourself in it to the point where your very existence depends on the fact that understand the language ... i.e. actually living in France, Belgium, Quebec, ect. | |

All past tense stuff is formulated with "avoir" ("j'ai acheté un pomme") except for these ones: and also "arriver" and "passer" which are formed with "être"

| the_dudefather | do you have to do a small conversation about your relatives. even tho i did french, like 6-7 years ago i can still remember some of it as its been burnt into my memory for all time. | |

Yes like all Belgians I'm perfectly triligual. Here's your avoir: J'ai Tu as Il a Nous avons Vous avez Ils ont. And here's your relatives. I assume you only want the easy ones because this sounds like beginners french to me. Brother = frere Mother = mere Sister = soeur Father = père Baby = bébé Grandpa = Grand père Grandma = Grand mere Why the hell you're asking people on the internet for this, I don't understand but there you have it. |

| Bass | To help with remembering the avoir forms, either put it to music (what I did) or remember when you say how old somebody is, since you're saying they have however many years. | |

the song title "frere jaques" means brother john. or jack. it was translated as john, but i think it's jack. well.. that's not the important part. maybe that'll help you remember what frere means. |

| Bass | Yeah, the family members are pretty easy.... even if you haven't taken any French, it still shouldn't be a problem... the hardest one would probably be 'frere' since it doesn't sound like 'brother,' but the rest sound like their English equivavlent. | |

I didn't realize that outside of my ivory tower words like "oncle" and "cousine" pose such a pitfall for aspiring francophones.
