Ahh! éa fait longtemps, trop longs! Excusez-moi tout le monde! J'étais très occupée avec mon emploi, mes devoirs, les vacances etc. J'ai eu aussi une grande problème avec mon 'account' ici, car j'ai oublié mon mot de passe (oui, je sais, quelle idiote!) et le nouveau mot de passe que j'ai demandée n'étais marchee pas au début. Heureusement, je pense qu'il marche bien maintenant Donc, je suis revenue à jamais I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year, Amandine! Did you eat a 'Galette des rois'? Yes at Christmas we have christmas lights hung from one building to the next in the high street in town, which is quite pretty. But, in general, its all the wacky lights and inflatable santas that people put outside the front of their houses that makes it feel christmassy We also have a German market, where you can get lebkuchen, wurst from Schleswig Holstein etc in the town. In our park near the bus station we hold a 'European fair', usually it is closer to Christmas time so you can buy christmas presents, but this year it was in October/ September for some unkown reason. It only lasts for a weekend, but its great. There are stalls from France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Belgium etc, selling chocolates, sausages, le fromage, meat, olives, bread, cakes, artworks like ceramics, paintings, jewellery, handbags, pashminas, pillows/ cushion covers, throws , ice cream stalls. They are also stalls like the Fair Trade one where I bought a 'Divine' chocolate advent calender fro myself. And there are local stalls selling local produce, local home made ice cream and so on. On Christmas Eve, in the centre of town , there is a public 'carol singing' event where the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Mayor of Canterbury and the cathedral choir and Salvation Army Band all gather and the public sings with them. It gets you in a christmassy mood! Although, this year, I was working a lot around christmas, so I didnt really feel all that christmassy, and christmas day was a bit of an anti-climax as usual. We (me, my parents and brother) opened presents, had a big christmas lunch, pulled crackers, then felt very full up and sluggish. I hope all your exams went well! I had my first set of A Level French exams in January - AS. They didnt go as well as I would have liked as I completely ran out of time to answer all the questions on the listening paper! So, I will definitely get a lower grade overall because of this. I am trying my best, I found I got 63% in my last piece of coursework, which is not too bad! Although, the universites have asked me to get a B in French A Level, which is frankly impossible for me as I have only been studying it a year and 5 months from scratch and I work a lot in the week, so I am hoping when it comes to results day, the universities will accept me with lower grades Btw, thanks to everyone for their French help Its very much appreciated :smile2: Oh, I have had many accounts on TSR, most of which I have forgotten the password for, so now I just look at posts I like the foreign language threads best :D Alors, I wish you a great semester et Bonne Chance! -x-

Lol, the nearest word is to 'boogie' and it kind of means to dance- like boogie on down, Saturday Night Fever type of 70s dance :D

Bonjour! Feliciations pour ton fils! (on having a kid) Ton post est un petit difficile pour moi a comprendre, mais je vais essayer :smile2: Pooh bear est un mot imaginaire? Il a non rapport avec l'excretion! En effet, en anglais, nous ecrivons 'poo' sans le 'h'. To bug is to nag really - en francais, je pense que c'est 'souler/ enerver/ tanner/ embeter' ? Il n'existe pas le mot 'bouged' en anglais Bon courage

Bon courage, OP (original poster) En Angleterre, la majorite de notre comediens celebrees ont etudiee a l'universitie, en particulier, a l'Oxbridge (Oxford et Cambridge). Naturellement, ils sont tres intelligent et ils ont n'arrete pas l'ecole a 16 ans! Francais et les etudes theatre sont les mieux etudes pour devenir un comedien, je croire :smile2: Aussi, si tu peux obtiens d'experience dans l'industrie tele, tu peux avancer sur travailler en face de 'camera' ou meme comme auteur/ realisateur des emissions comiques. Desolee pour mon francais affreux! Mais, bonne chance

Woah! Long post, Nina! I saw your commentary- I'm not on here that often as I am quite busy with work and studies at the moment ( I am doing my french homework right now- its a bit hard and boring tbh - its on the use of the subjunctive with il faut que and avant que!) Also, I often go on an english forum instead, because there's soo many more posts and its easy to read -I'm, lazy In fact, its the biggest student forum on the web, although anyone of any age can go on there. Its in English primarily, but there are many languages spoken on it and special threads or 'societies' for different nationalities. There are some french people who have said posting there has improved their english lots. The web address is www.thestudentroom.co.uk . I recommend it if you want to improve your english - theres lots of slang but at the same time many members write in 'standard' english! There's also a lot of jokes, but it will probably be hard for you to understand them at this point. Good Luck though. If you can read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, you are on your way to perfection :D Yeah, send them my way and Ill have a look when i've got time If you need grammar help, just ask me and I will see what I can do

En ce moment, j'aime beaucoup Kanye West - Love Lockdown 'you lose, you lose..' :smile2:
