Just leaving a note: I enjoyed our exchanges at linguaphiles so much, I thought I'd add you. Perhaps we can exchange some French? Or rather, can I try my horrible French on you? :)
La mienne n'est pas aussi bien. J'ai commencé à étudier il y a deux années. J'ai changé mon major à l'école, et je n'ai pas étudié depuis un année. J'ai décidé à changer mon major à français parce-que je n'étais pas heureuse que je n'étais pas étudier une langue étrangère. Alors, je suis aussi rusty!
Wow - better than mine, I think. Bien que je pense que peut-etre "que je n'étais pas étudier" n'est pas correct, a cause de que "etre" c'est pour "to be" qui veux dire quelque chose permanente, et "avoir" c'est pour quelque chose impermanent. Alors "n'étais pas étudiante" serait correct, mais je pense que ca se dit, "que je n'ai pas étudié pendant tres longtemps."
Je peux lire sans probleme, mais écrire c'est un peu affreux pour moi. Je ne sais jamais si je suis en train de faire des horribles erreurs de conjugaison ou épellation. Et mes accents, aigues ou graves ou circonflexes... ::sigh:: Tres rusty!
By the way, how do you get the accented letters? I always have to cut & paste, and since I'm none too sure of the accents in the first place I normally don't bother :(
Whoops, I can't believe I made an error like that. I meant "Je n'étudiais pas!"
I actually made my own keyboard because I hated the Windows layout. Depending on which OS you're running, there's an option to "add a language/keyboard." In Windows, locate the Regional and Language icon in Control Panel, and you should see Languages, then it'll walk you through it. I don't remember how to do it on a Mac, it's definitely something you can google :)
If you have Windows and find that you hate the layout, let me know and I'll email you my layout...so much easier! ;)
Ooh, this is a good place to apologise to you about the wankfest I inadvertently caused in that post. I'd apologise there, only I'd rather minimise my presence there.
Please don't worry about it :) Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I can see where your ideas came from (and honestly, I think there really is some validity to it).
