Hello! Yusshin's alt' here. I won't be logging on to Yusshin henceforth except to perhaps edit the Member's List.

Just a small video update. I posted it in the Ghibli thread a while back, but it's pertinent here, too:



Beautifully done!

Anyone have a most hated verb? Hard to use, hard to conjugate; anything, really.



Also, yay for Eiffel Tower and French stuff (Froakie for Frenchies lol) in X&Y!

Teehee.

But I guess in English, it's too similar to tell. Really now.

I run
You run
She runs
We run
They run

Only third person you have to really watch out for. Past tense? Ran, ran, ran!

Then there's no feminine, masculin or neutral. No "e"s on stuff because of something being feminine either. English is much less complicated grammar-wise than French (and other languages, sure) is.

I remember in Grade Four we would have contests. Everytime you answered something correctly, you'd get a bonhomme sourire (happy face). You'd write your name on it and it'd go in the bucket. On Fridays, if your name was drawn, you got something nice: candy, eclairs, doughnuts; those kinds of things. I won once so I was happy :) but the more you knew, the better your odds... Except when you were Dylan Pitri and always getting chosen and thus winning weeks in a row as a result. Others knew as much as him, but for some reason the teacher played favourites. Grr.

Oh, well.

:)

Ever seen this guy?



Best part:

Voice: "Do you want a Coke?"
Thinking: ... Euhhh... Si je veux de la Coke ? Euhh, mais la, ca doit etre une piege d'american ca... vas-y, reponds 'non'.
Guy: "Euh, no, I... I want euh... Coca Cola..."
Thinking: Et ouais, tu m'auras pas !

xD

That's fantastic, Team Fail. I guess that's what we can call an curriculum success story? :P

I've already worked in Quebec and all, but before that I felt very good to be the only one around able to serve customers in French. I had a few people at Walmart who spoke French and I was happy to be able to serve them in their language of choice; they were quite happy, too!

It really is a wonderful feeling :)
