It's all foreign to me!

Hi ya p1kef1sh

I had a feeling you would come up with something like that, I was going to say that apart from your mother tongue what language would you like to learn but I guess I forgot!

Cheers P1key

Spanish and to improve my French. Theoretically I do speak German, but it's ages since I practiced it. I lived there and ws Ok with it then. But that was, er................., well you were still in primary school!

Hi apples99

French is a relatively easy language to learn as many of the words are simular even the same as they are in English just pronounced differently.

Thanks for your response

Hi ya ennasus59

I think your English is just fine!

Thanks for your response

Thanks.
One of the reasons why I joined myLot,was I wanted to improve my English.
I think,if you once have learnt a thing,and not use it for a time,you put the thing somewhere in your brain

Hi there amanda333

I dread to think what words you have picked up since you have been there!! It is funny how people are always willing to get you to say rude words in their language aren't they? When I was on a French exchange when I was a school they taught me this phrase (excuse my writing I am not good at writing in French) 'Ne m'casse pas les pied'. For those who don't speak French this means, don't break my feet, it would be like saying 'you are getting on my nerves'!! I learnt this one very quickly and it was handy!! Please correct me if I have written it wrong!!

Thanks for your response

haha humbug your sooo right, i could write a book of my experiences here

i'm able to use my first smileys today cos i've got 200cool

Well done on reaching 200!! Was my french spelling ok and have you ever come across this phrase?

your spelling was fine humbug. I had not come across this phase but i showed my teenage daughter this and she laughed and said yes i can relate to this

Hi ya kaka135

Thanks for your response

Hi wolfie34

I went on a few French exchanges whilst I was at school and I learnt so much just by living with French people because they wouldn't speak in any other language and in fact the mother didn't speak English. Also once when I was in Paris I was trying my best to order food in a cafe and the waiter could obviously tell I was English so he spoke to me in English which really annoyed me because I was trying my hardest and he made me feel foolish.

Thank you for your response

Hi ya lulumartin

So you should have your husband teach you how to speak German then, what could be easier?
