Want to learn French?

Hi! For anybody that wants to learn French, I'm willing to teach my mother tongue to you all! My English may be a little awkward, but it will improve with time. It isn't an easy language to learn, but is Japanese that easy at first look? I didn't think so myself, so just come and try!

Volunteers?

Salut,

Apparemment beacoup de gens ici parle le francais deja. Vous etes de Quebec?
Bon, Je vous souhaite bonne chance avec ca, j'espere que les gens vont repondre. A+

Peut-être, mais parler un peu, c'est pas parler beaucoup, et donc, on a toujours besoin de s'améliorer^^ Et puis il y a beaucoup de gens qui ne le parle pas, aussi^^ Merci beaucoup^^
Je suis du Québec, mais pas de la ville. Je suis plus au Sud, près de l'Ontario.

The accents can be put only if you shift your keyboard into French keyboard instead of English keyboard. To do so, click on your language bar at the bottom of your screen and go to "preferences" (I think it is actually the good translation).

And yes, I'd be glad to help you getting better in French^^
First, "donc pouvoir vous aider moi" should be "vous pouvez (pouvoir) m'(moi)aider?"
"Vous" is the subject, and as in english, the subject comes before the principal verb, which comes right after, "pouvoir". Then the rest is a complement of the verb, but not in the same order as in English this time.

The beginning of your sentence was right^^ It isn't that bad you see^^

Oui, je peux vous aider! Yes I can help you!

you don't need a french keyboard to do the accents... if you don't wanna change your keyboard to AZERTY, then go to this website and you can find shortcuts on how to use them

Hey Noodle, thanks for the link, I didn't know it. It could help those who have problems with the accents.

And as for you, Lien, is Belgium nice? I'd like to go, sometimes^^ I knew that French was spoken in belgium, but didn't know it was as second language... Are you good in French?

No i'm not that good in French

Well we have a third language 2 : German but it's isn't much spoken her, only the eastern part of Belgium close to Germany speaks german

Okay so maybe you should give me a sentence, and I'll see if I can translate it in the correct form.
