It might be helpful to know if you speak any other languages besides english (and which level)...

I don't speak any other languages.

I'm a basic speaker of German, and I know bits of other languages. I particularly like constructed languages like Lojban and Esperanto.

I starting a petition to get a scammer tag implemented.  Grin

Oh Boy!, I hope I don't get a three day vacation because of this post.

If I find out your Zhou, I'm driving up to Wisconsin and kicking your 2cm balls.

Look up the original in stead of dumbly citing the dumbed-down American spelling.

FTFU!

I have finalized my course schedule for fall, and I will be taking French. Hopefully I'll like it (or it won't be too bad, at least). Thanks a lot to everyone who replied! Smiley
Bien joué!

Don't do it! It's a guetapens.

+1 for knowing a word with more than 5 letters
-1 for omitting the hyphen.

I see my reverse psychology worked, for French is exactly what I wanted you to take.

Seriously, theymos, we wish you well with the French courses, and thank you for allowing us to be part of your decision making process.

Poor impulse control.
Premier jour dans la classe française.

In case you don't speak French, he wrote "The Premier took Frank's dance classes". Not sure which Premier he means though.

But what happens immediately post WWIII when you want to be able to impress a French exchange student on the outskirts of the ruined glassy radioactive wasteland that used to be your city? You'll need a book then. I say be prepared.

(same goes for a zombie apocalypse and a French exchange student. A living one, I mean).

I would stay away from french girls if I was you, wether they are dead or alive...
French kiss and stuff... yuck!  Wink


Have you ever wondered if Bruce and Ed French kiss in bed? Now that you (the reader) have read that sentence, try getting the image out of your mind.

I hate you!

What?  Grin

... I'm leaning toward French, though. ...
Très magnifique bien sûr! Alors on y va.

A long time ago I stopped a 5 years attempt to avoid learning french.  Grin
Skipped it for chemistry, made life easier in those days.

Is there something like this for translating english to french and vice versa?

Who would use a dictionary nowadays Huh

I think the first language most Yanks should learn to speak, read and write fluently is English.  Grin

+1, although I don't think Theymos has any outstanding issues in this department.

The odd bit is if you speak only one language in most of the EU you are severely handicapped.
