Guys,
I am a silent watcher of DF for quite sometime. I have always wondered why there is not much female participation is discussions in this internet world.Any idea? Does they lack knowledge about TFM in general? No girl has sound technical knowledge about music? Or they hide behind a guys name and post?

  Actuallement les conjugaisons sont faciles! D'abord c'est un peu difficile mais practisez-les. Je n'aime pas le participe passe....mais le temps futur, imparfait, passe historique, conditionnel...c'est facile!

  curry, to begin with most french teachers are snobbish. its a universal fact. Have to put up with a lot of hell to get ur first steps.

  Facile pour vous de dire! Vous aviez appris le francais pendant neuf annees, correct!? J'ai appris le francais pendant 5 annees. J'ai egalement appris l'histoire canadienne en francais, mais ce n'etait pas a difficile. C'etait un programme francais prolonge, apres que j'ai laisse le programme, Francais etait facile pour moi!

  I dunno if she was snobbish, but she wasnt exactly the best teacher. Actually, she had this favorite student who has spent sometime in paris and she was "good" with french, all the other students felt like they had to live up to the level of that girl. if that makes any sense

  curryleaf,
  
  You are not missing much. They are just talking about conjugation of verbs, which ones Nisha finds difficult and which ones easy. ALos, Nish wants to stop writing in French because you are here (WHY?) and she doesn't want any confusion.

  Nisha,
  
  5 years, WOW!

  neuf annees? c'est assez! habla espanol? est-ce que dans ta ville on parle aussi l'espagnol?
  
  curry, to 'look' good, u just have to grab an audiotape and perfect the accent. On paper, anybody can master verbs, conjugation and stuff, no big deal.

  True, but there's no motivation eh. Plus having a lousy memory capacity doesnt help in the process of learning either.
  
  
• From: . (@ 161.114.64.75) on: Fri Nov 7 19:10:18 EST 2003
  
  or just sing 'frere jacques', 'savez-vous planter les choux' and a couple of other crap songs, and u'd actually look good.

  Prabhu's 9 years with French is paying off. I doubt if Nisha speaks much Spanish though since I don't think she mentioned it in her list before.
  
  
• From: . (@ 161.114.64.75) on: Fri Nov 7 19:13:56 EST 2003
  
  curry, u in states eh? definitely wont get any enthu to learn then, whos gonna listen anyway.
  
  quand est-ce que tu visiteras l'asie? et roja, depuis combien d'annees est-elle habite a la canadie?

  Interpreter you know French to!?
  Are you sayn' 5 years is enough or not enough!?
  
  Prabhu
  Aucun je ne parle pas espagnol! Seulement en Amerique vous devez apprendre l'espagnol... que je pense! Je sais quelques mots dans l'Espagnol mais pas l'alot! Parlez-vous espagnol!?

  Nisha,
  
  Since you love London so much, do you envy your dad's trips back there? Do you get to go with him? Are you very attached to the house there? (Is that the house where you grew up before coming to T.O.?)

  Xpreter, the currics in india is lousy, they teach the same stuff in 6th, 9th & 11th. realistically 3 yrs. Got watered down in early 90s. Early 80s, they had some major literature stuff too, no longer there.

  Nisha,
  
  I guess I am just wondering why your 5 years of French is infinitely better than your X years of English!
  
  LOL!

  Too much has happened and interaction is going on in real-time in this thread!

  Yeah man.. I should have taken Spanish instead. French is not gonna help me unless I go to Canada or France. But Spanish is more vital here. Then again I'm not keen on learing another language. Besides, there's this question in my head saying "Why bother when english is universally spoken", which isnt all that much true anyway....

En ete je vais chercher encore, le mariage de mon cousin, et mes parents veulent que je prenne un cours anglais e l'universite d'Oxford au cours de l'ete!

  J'irai probablement en Angleterre en mi juin. Mes parents ne sont pas exactement surs qui les chassent veulent que je prenne. Ils ont beaucoup de cours disponibles. Par exemple dans les maths et des ordinateurs. Mon oncle en Angleterre l'a dit verifiera avec des cours d'ete a l'universite d'Oxford encore. Il doit y avoir des cours qui seront disponibles pour moi quand j'arrive. Je ne suis pas sur combien de temps je resterai. Soyez probablement de retour dans le debut d'aout. Drole, mon anniversaire arrivera d'ici la!

  Prabhu, je ne suis pas stupide. Vous figurerez hors de mon age. Je ne m'occupe pas, mais il y a une grande raison de ne pas le dire. J'ai quelque chose vous dire que, peux je svp avoir votre identification de E-mail ? MSN ou YM ?
