Welcome to the French Thread.


This thread is for people who is learning French or native speakers who want to help other improve their french or to just hang out. The main point of this forum is to improve your French skills. If you are not look to be helped or to help someone. I encourage you to stay and have conversations in french. So have a good time. Maybe you'll meet a nice friend that speaks good french and you can learn loads of french. Remember you don't need to know how to write complete sentences in french. You are welcome no matter what level your french is at. If this thread isn't what you quite expected post your opinions in improving the thread.

Major Rules:

1. be kind and courteous.
2. Treat people in this thread as a family.
3. If you correct people, please provide clear explaination, on only the stuff you have corrected, in a way that somebody could take notes on it and learn.
4. All explanations must be in english. (unless asked otherwise by correctee)

Minor Rules:

1. Please use accent marks. They are highly important in the french language. (there is no reason you can't do accent marks. I have shown you a very simply way of making them. It takes no time at all, to type an accent mark)

Note: I don't want this thread to be strictly in french. You can use english. But I am encouraging you to use more french if you are not native and would like more practice

When someone here WANTS a correction, the person SHOULD ask
( for instance by adding : "To be corrected" )
.

I noticed in the International Database thread they had my thread up there so I thought I would represent their thread in mine. So if there is another language you also would like to practice click on the banner below and it should take you right to them. This thread is pretty amazing. It provides links to threads for practicing other languages or chatting with people that live in your country.

The shortcuts to type french accents on a PC are below.

1. Turn on you international key board.

get into the control panel and click on Regional and Language... then click the languages tab and click on details. click add. in the Keyboard layout/IME box select United States-International


these instructions teaches you how to use it. It seems different and unatural at first but you will get used to it.


REMEMBER: there will be what looks like a keyboard at the bottom right had corner usually on the left of a question mark in a box, click on it and make your thing says United States-International!

* Accent aigu (é), type ' (single quote) then e.
* Cédille (ç), type ' then c.
* Circonflexe (ê), type ^ (shift + 6) then e.

Why did you put that viking? He's nowhere near French nor the game developers for him weren't French either.

That same viking was used for an American video game made by Blizzard. It was a platforming puzzle game.

French is pretty easy, there are lots of cognates with English. n__n You should give it a go, seriously; it's a good language to know and it makes it easier to learn other Romance languages. Plus it's incredibly fun to speak.
