Title: Quelqu'un ici parle français? Does Anyone Here Speak French?
Post by: Ryno on November 03, 2011, 09:54:41 AM
Je voudrais apprendre le français pour les possibilités d'emplois et parce que je pense que je veux à déménager à Montréal au Québec, Canada. Est-ce qu'il y a quelqu'un qui parle français avec qui je peux étudier? Et en particulier le français Québecois?

I would like to learn French for better job opportunities and because I've been thinking of moving to Montréal in Québec, Canada. I was wondering if anyone here speaks fluent French, particularly Quebec French, with whom I can study?

Mais non, mon ami.

I studied French for 2 years in high school, more than 20 years ago.

ahaha, merci, en tout cas.

I took French for three years in high school but my third year I almost failed. I figured I'd never need it and now, well, it looks like I've changed my mind. A lot of it's still locked up in the back of my mind and I can read and write fairly well, but my grammar's usually off and I can't speak orally worth crap and my accent is pretty ... well, anglais.

Search for a 'French in Action' torrent.   This will download a 52 part 30 minute television series that teaches French using the total immersion technique.    Look up on Wikipedia, Pierre Capretz and French in Action.   I love the FIA series.

P.S. the only main differences between Quebec French and French French is that in Quebec they tend to speak a sort of 18th century French which can sound old-fashioned to us.

Oui, je parlais francais depuis onze annees! Le seul chose que je n'aime pas du langue est que le passe compose et des pronoms ont une sexe. Mais, ici, je utiliserais les formes feminine! :) Je suis francaise, aussi, et je pense que ma singe aide.

I adore the language, really; I've been studying since 3rd grade; in my college sophomore year, and am double majoring in the language. This site makes me totally happy to speak French in, as opposed to every day life where I have to use the forms of words that cause dysphoria. Additionally, I've gone so far as to reflect my love of the language as to make my middle name French. Plus, the fashion; most fabulous clothes, perfumes, etc. aren't they? Dior, Remy Martin, Chanel. :)

I like French - I think the language is easier than Italian, but I prefer Italy and the Italian language.

Bonjour/ bonsoir! I have been doing a night school course to get a bit of a head start for enrolling in the Diploma of Language course at Uni next year.  My main interest has been getting pronounciation and accent right, as our teacher has said that that will be a big help.
It has been fun, if a bit difficult at times, and I am looking forward to Uni.

Karen.

Oui! Je suis canadienne et je parle francais (mais mon clavier est americain :P).

This topic is old, but if you would like to practise your French on me - feel free to send me a message. :)

Oui, je suis canadien et je parle français mais j'ai besoin plus de pratique. J'étais en immersion, mais j'oublie beaucoup parce que je n'avais pas assez de personnes avec qui je peux parler.
(Je suis désoler si j'ai fais des erreurs.)

Je suis vraiment désolé, je suis allemand, je comprends plus ce qui est écrit, mais mon écriture est simplement trop mauvais.
