Tu es un jambon. :I

@Kooky:
Je voulais paraître formel, même quand je parle Anglais.

EDIT: Oh, mais, merçi beaucouop, même.

 

[BRN]

I think you meant: Ce n'est rien vraiment. Et ta langue est belle. (which is formulated in a way that makes "langue" ambiguous between "language" and "tongue")



When you're talking familiarly there's no need to invert subject and verb in a question. Written this way it sounds posh. You might want to try: "Oh là là, tu parles Français SIX?"

Thanks for the tips! I was born in France, but departed before I could really get a grasp of the tongue.

Ari: I try my best to learn, but... Vocabulary, gender, and grammar intricacies are where I'm struggling. I think I could survive if stranded in France, though.

The verb &/or the tense is not the right one here, here's how you should reformulate: Je veux paraître formel, même quand je parle Anglais It would me a a bit more correct to say: Je tiens à paraître formel, même en Anglais.

also it's merci beaucoup, quand même.

 

[Taikugemu]

I hate French.

That's what happens when people try learning romance languages in general, I've noticed. Oh, so you were born in France? I didn't know...

EDIT:
@Kooky: thanks again! I was thinking along the lines of the Spanish 'Quería sonar formal', so that's why I used it that way, I guess.

Русский ты говоришь это?

 

[Ariosto]

Русский ты говоришь это?

The first word is 'Russian', right?

 

[FenrirDarkWolf]

I took 5 years of Spanish and I still can't speak it.

¿Pero, can you read it, at least?

 

[FenrirDarkWolf]

Not at all.
I don't remember anything except what a few words mean.

Too bad :c
Would you be interested in learning some of it again?

 

[Astus]

Русский ты говоришь это?

I learned to speak basic Russian but I forgot pretty much everything... you're basically asking is someone speaks Russian... and if I remember correctly I would say something along the lines of "Я могу говорить по-русски"

I wish more people would give adoption a chance instead of making their own kids. It's a touchy subject, but well... I feel that there's enough people in the world, so why not make the life of someone who's already here and having a hard time, better?
I'd like to do that, in a distant future, instead of having my own.

There's no reason not to

here's a sentiment i can appreciate. while i'm not gonna hold anything against other people for having kids (most of the time, anyway), i definitely don't plan on doing so, myself. but i'd like to adopt one of these days.

 

[Atemis]

I only like French because it made English the beautiful language it is today, rather than being a monstrosity like other German languages.

Anche, parlo un poco la lingua d'Italiano.

I may be the reason that the YMCA camp in the next town over banned touching rocks/sticks and travelling with less than 2 other people some years ago.

What did you do o.o

 

[ThePumu]

Tu no puede hablar o leer espanol?!

 

[Luki]

Is Spanish obligatory in American schools?

I imagine there's not really any incentive for you guys to learn new languages... Yours is the top one already ;p

 

[FenrirDarkWolf]

Foreign language is usually a requirement to graduate.
(But that doesn't mean I remember any of it).

At least in my school it is. And Spanish was the only one mine offered...
It must be because we're so close to Mexico.

 

[Butters Shikkon]

Estoy embarazada! Me tengo vergü​enza. >////<
