MM, than you wouldn't understand any Dutch, now would you? But hey, you still lived here . Antwerp makes me think of fashion design and diamonds. Are your parents in to one of those?  |

Hehe, that wouldn't count for me, i have had 9 years of lessons, and the half of the country speaks french and i'm still not fleunt. I think you speak, or better write, it better then me  . But if i hear some actor speak French in an american movie most of the time the hairs in the back of my neck come up. Just writing and building sentences are so hard! |

Yea I remember we watched this french movie and there was one line that made me crack up...I can't remember what it was exactly but it was basically that this kid hated all the conjugating you have to do in french....I was the only one in the entire class who just started laughing uncontrollably, then my teacher said I was the only one who actually got it! xD

I'm still not able to conjugate all the verbs in l'indicatif present and that's the basic one, so don't get me started about le futur proche or le passé simple. I should be really ashamed. My grandmoter is from the french part of the country and my grandfather (the other side of the family) is a french teacher. And still i'm really really bad at it. Even worse is the difference between un and une. I like English better allways scored high grates on that subject :d. |

My style of french is called "bs it with as few tenses as I can!" I don't know how advanced stuff you are doing...right now I am doing poetry, and by the time you reach that kind of stuff, grammer is less important and it becomes about being to express yourself fluently...which is cool!

You can study chinese and japanese at the university i go to. But i don't think it's anything for me. As i said. I can't even speak French after having all that schooling. A language in which the different in a tone can make a completly different word --> I'm getting nightmares allready! |

I don't have any french classes anymore. I study childpsychology and luckely i don't have any textbooks in French. Most of the time they are english are dutch. My boyfriend does have textbooks in French, he studies history and since belgium has been a completly french speaking country for a while, he's supposed to be able to read old texts in French.
Kids in Belgium have to take french classes at the end of primary school and when reaching the end of highschool you are supposed to understand french really well, speak it fluently, know allmost all the tences and read books and poems and write essays.
But as i said, you are supposed, there are a lot of kids having trouble with french, it was the subject i allways failed |
