Describe your city half in French half in English
 

Hello !! (me Im french and new lol)
This topic http://www.japanforum.com/forum/gene...s-here-23.html and the discussion between my friend ColOrPriNceSs and Hisuwashi and AllICanSay and others gave me this idea:

one topic to write half in French half in English with correction to learn.
(thank you for your correction cause I would write english correctly)
(merci pour vos corrections car je voudrais écrire l'anglais correctement)

We can talk about all subjects..
Mais le premier sujet que je vous propose est que chacun decrive la ville ou village où il habite avec des photos prises sur internet ou personnelles.

Moi je vis en france dans la ville de Carcassonne

with its medieval city and at this moment it is the morning and the hour is nine past eleven...
(c'est intéressant de savoir quelle heure il est pour chacun de nous)

j'espère que ce sujet vous plaira :)
thank you for your nice reception on this forum

PS: we can completed with discussion on msn
(j'ai mis mon adresse dans mon profil)
(contact me if you want learn french or simply to talk)

Frenglish!!

A pity I don't speak a word of French... will Catalan do? ^_^


Lovely pic, by the way.

thank you for your answer I was desesperate lol

you can write in catalan (and all languages) it's interresting..
(oh my english! my god! correct me please!)

catalan ?

my memories are a poem : (catalan ? I dont know?)
"caracolito cuentamé" hihihih i:mtongue:

O please write in catalan and this topic will be for all planets of the known universe :)

and you can too show pictures of your town.............

That's Spanish, not Catalan. Oh no, wait. That's not even Spanish but Mexican, cause as you should know it is not the same.

Catalan is only spoken in Catalonia, which is in the north east corner of Spain. Some people say both languages are pretty much alike even though they sound completly different (thank God xD).

For example:

c'est intéressant de savoir quelle heure il est pour chacun de nous

In Catalan that would be:

és interessant saber quina hora és per cadascú de nosaltres

:D

I can understand it when written or spoken slowly, but that's about it.


You want pics of my town? It's Barcelona, you probably know what it's like. ^^

Yeah I know (a little bit) Barcelonia ! I have friends there! And I dont know if it's really true but my friends say that in france new relations are no really easy (cause french are "un poco" cold and distant but when I have met theses spanish friends, they have taken me immediatly in your arms and that was very nice and cordial :)

Put pictures of Barcelonia I will very happy ;)

I'm musician and I remember one song
"duerme duerme negrito
Que tu mama esta en el campio"

je ne suis plus vraiment certain des paroles......

Well I'm from Gouda... known for it's cheese.....
Fromage de Gouda... lol:p
pic: Gouda's city hall

Bonsoir, je suis Libanaise mais j'habite au Kowait. Beirut is the capital of lebanon, Beirut est tres bon ville, les gens en liban sont tres sympathiques.

I hope this is enough :)

Barcelonia? xDD Mixture of names.

I haven't met many French people so I can't tell whether they're friendly.

You want pics, you'll have pics. :cool:



That's one of the most important streets.



The most famous building, Sagrada Família.



Random sight.



The most famous avenue, always crowded with tourists.


Well, you get the general idea, now come visit me! :)

I've visited Barcelona ^__^ I've seen the Sagrada Familia and walked on that avenue. brings back memories :D

yes me too I have seen the Sagrada Familia and walked on this avenue with musicians and "alive statues" !! I have listened too very good flamenco music oh à Grenade aussi !!!!!
Yes AllICanSay I kown the Gouda :) it's the war between france and your contry for the cheese since longtime and it's terrible !!! ;)
your pic: Gouda's city hall is beautiful !!! I didnt know !!

Hello Fara7 "Beirut est tres bon ville, les gens en liban sont tres sympathiques." In "good" french "Beyrouth est une très belle ville, les gens au liban sont très sympathiques"
have you a pic of your town ?? :)

And you can write something in your language !!!!!
thank you

Bonne idée! OK, correct me if I'm wrong please!

Je crois que les Français sont amical, en général... :D et Carcassonne, c'est très belle. Un jour, j'y aimerais aller.

Moi, j'habite près de la ville de Bristol en Angleterre... à mon avis c'est nul mais on se trouve beaucoup de choses, par exemple...

Bateau sur le fleuve d'Avon (Ship on the river Avon)


Le rade flottaison (The Floating Harbour)


La cathédrale de la Sainte-et-Indivisible-Trinité (The Cathedral of the Holy and Undivided Trinity)


L'Université de Bristol (The University of Bristol)

Awww Bristol, I so wanna go there! I knew I would regret not choosing Bristol when the exchange agency made me choose between Bristol and Colchester, and without thinking I went for the second option.


I'm dying to go to Holland. I love Vermeer and most of his painting are there.

Alive statues... oh well, isn't that a common thing to see in the avenues of almost every city? :confused:

Colchester, hmm? Yes you should have gone to Bristol, you may have seen me! :D
Barcelona looks a fun place. Hm, I've been to Spain - but only the southern region - Málaga, Granada, Fuengirola, Mijas and Ronda.

Holland sounds fun too. ^^

I've seen The Girl with The Pearl Earring. It's so pretty.
And the alive statues can also be found here -__-v mainly the Dam in Amsterdam

lol Our cheese is the best! I love to eat it (everyday actually -__-v)

We have more medieval buildings. Gouda has the longest church, the Sint Janskerk, of Holland. (around 1,5 times the length of a soccerfield)

and our City Hall can also be seen in Japan. They have some sort of Holland open air museum where they build copies of Dutch monumental buildings:cool:

pic: Sint Janskerk from above with City Hall on the upper right corner

OMG that's my favourite painting! I've been told it's pretty disappoiting though cause it's too small.


Never been there... ^^'

(Yeah, almost 400,000 people living in Bristol and I might have seen you... xDD).


* That sounds verrrrry interesting, AICS. Now be kind and invite us over. :D

Your town is very nice, Hitsuwashi !!
I would adore to visit it !!:rolleyes: The Cathedral of the Holy and Undivided Trinity is splendid ! The universtry too ! :p
About your translation, that's not very exact...you forgot to put in the plural...and the neutral is like male in french !:D
So ..

"Bonne idée! Corrige moi si je me trompe stp

Je crois que les Français sont amicaux, en général... et Carcassonne, c'est très beau. Un jour, j'aimerais y aller.


Moi, j'habite près de la ville de Bristol en Angleterre... à mon avis c'est nul mais on y trouve beaucoup de choses, par exemple..."

But about french conjugation you're excellent ! In my class, a lot of haven't your level ! It's very good :D :D

Suki, what's OMG's painting ?
Barcelona it's splendid too !!!
I've a lot of things to see / I've many things to see ?

PS: I would like you correct me if i'm wrong please !!

OMG stands for Oh My God, it's not a painting. xDDD I meant "Girl With a Pearl Earring", that's my favourite one. ^^

Ohoh.....XD :rolleyes:

Mucha, Danse and Night are two of my favorite painting !

Thanks for the correction ^^

Merci beaucoup pour ton aide aussi !!!!

Je vis dans la même ville que Tiger19, Carcassonne.
C'est une ville médiévale qui compte à peut près 44 000 habitants.
Elle est très connue pour "La Cité" classée monument mondiale depuis 1997 :D .
C'est vraiment sympas à regarder, notamment le 14 juillet à cause du feux d'artifice !:rolleyes:
C'est très bien fait !

I live in the same town of Tiger19. Carcassonne.
It's a medieval town famous for "La cité" classified world monument since 1997 ! It's nice to see it, in particular on 14 July cuz there is a fireworks.
It's a very good work !

And Now a beautiful pictures:
