• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Having read your post, MD, you're really selling Swedish to me, you know? It looks excellent.

    Ah yes - I'd noticed that in the playthrough I watched; does it actually say anything real at all or is it entirely nonsense?

    (At fear of going off-topic,) How so? Also how exciting! Cambridge offers a course of two major languages with a more minorly-focused-upon one, two of which can be ab initio. French and ai Italian with ai Greek, I'm thinking? However it's highly unlikely I'd have the capability (or, more to the...

    I've came across quite a dilemma while thinking about universities. I will definitely study French, but as an aside, I'd like to take an ab initio course in a new language. The ones I've narrowed it down to are Italian, Swedish/Icelandic, Ancient Greek, Modern Greek or just Linguistics. I'm not...

    Excellent, well done! That's a very good grade, and I imagine you'll find the papers quite easy, since you're obviously pretty good, and they're not all that difficult anyway. Bravo, mon cher!

    I'M NOT NATIVE SPEAKING but regardless I'd like to try to help you anyway. If I make any mistakes, I assume someone better than I will correct mine.

    I guess that's a good point - occasionally (in fact, more often than not!), people from my French class use tu with the teachers and don't even realise that they've done so unless the teacher says "Non, vouvoie-moi s'il t'plait" or something. Also surskitty (You ARE surskitty right, enekoiru? I...

    Tu/Vous (with an S, not a Z!) Isn't really that difficult either... If it's someone you are obliged to respect or is significantly older than you, you use vous. If it's someone your age, or a family member, you use tu. Of course there are some exceptions, but that depends on the person and their...

    As a project that will count towards my UCAS form (To non-UKians, pretty much a form that you submit to universities here to apply to them) as the equivalent of a whole extra AS-level (I think?), we've been given the opportunity to write a 5000-word essay or article relevant to our university...

    Thank you, corrections are better than, erm, no corrections! (Although all the French French teachers I've had have been female, hence francaise and not francais, but you didn't know that! Also surely the second instance should have stayed as francais, since although prononciation is feminine...

    Alors, moi, j'suis pas francais moi-meme, mais, comme je l'étudie depuis, euh, six ans, et comme j'ai eu au moins trois profs differents (et également j'ai un corres francais avec qui je parle fréquemment) qui étaient/sont francaise, il m'semble que j'ai une bonne idée de comment un vrai...

    I do have a French keyboard installed, but it is horrid to use since so many things are in different places. (I mean, for example, M and ' are swapped, which is fine I guess, until you realise that (mostly) all the accented vowels are not created by pressing apostrophe and then the vowel or...

    Oui; j'utilise 0232 pour le 'è' souvent, mais les autres, alors, j'sais pas. Et en fait j'suis pas d'accord - a mon école, on parle et écrit plus souvent qu'l'on écoute ou lit - mais peut-etre que ca, c'est seulement chez moi, a le mien... J'sais pas! Non, tu parles (ou bien, tu écris) le...

    Alors, peut-etre que ca, c'est l'accent belge? Il faut admettre qu'oui, il y aurait des accents qui exagerent certaines voyelles... Mais seulement a la meme mesure qu'en anglais, et, heuh, tous les autres langues, je suppose... Mais d'ailleurs, oui, j'estime que j'ai un peu tort quand meme...
