Bonjour tout le monde

Je suis Sue..j'habite a Bendigo..j'ai 41 ans..prof d'anglais.

J'adore la France (je suis allee au Sud cette annee) mais malheureusement this is the limit of my French
I can understand everyone..just not brilliant at writing French so excusez mes fautes.

Enchantee de vous connaitre,

Sue

welcome here Sue.
Ou se trouve Bendigo? dans quel état?
@+ tard.

Salut de Ballarat!

Le monde est petit, n'est ce pas!

Bienvenue Sue.

Don't worry about your French - I'd forgotten how to write most of mine until I joined FDU about 2 months ago. I got back into the habit of it pretty fast, since you'll find a lot of people here don't or can't write much English at all, so any French you can use is a bonus. The aim of the game is just to be understood, and by the way a few of the French write sometimes (no offence, Frenchies!) they feel the same way and take a lot of shortcuts with their French.
Hint: for reading sometimes FDU can be a bit of a nightmare, so here are some tips: qq = quelqu'un. mm = (seems to me 'meme'), tlm = tout le monde, K7 = cassette, and the trickiest one of all for me that almost drove me crazy....A+ (= a plus tard!)

Have fun!

Bonne chance!

Kate

Merci pastel Princess, Merci

Bendigo est a Victoria..150km au nord de Melb.

Oui Kate, le monde est petit. J'ai fait mes etudes a Ballarat. (Aquinas College- tu connais Mair Street?)

Merci pour l'avis- I spent time with a French friend this year so should be way better than I am at French..guess I spoke more than I wrote though. I'll copy down some phrases I can use lol

Merci pour le bienvenue et pour les qqs, A+ etc..Je les aime beaucoup. Going to start using them.

Merci for the welcome,
See you around.

Sue

J'aime bien ton Franco English Yoann, ca me rappelle la chanson de Renaud, It is not because you are

Laurent

Bonjour Yoann
Your English is fine!
Enchantee de te connatire aussi

Sue

Funny you should mention that, Laurent - the term 'Franco English' reminds me of an old 80's comedy British series (with a famous elderly British actress...I've forgotten the name of her and the show, but it was brilliant). The woman in it used to be some kind of teacher and she always spoke about 5 words of English to every French word, all in the one sentence, often rather mangled.
I wish they'd bring back re-runs.

If you ever remember the name Kate post it post it post it..sounds wonderful.

Now I remember the name of that series, it came to me the other day.

"French Fields". !!


And Laurent...what a bizarre Renaud song (some of it I rather like though, quite clever...though it would be better if he'd made it ALL rhyme

Kate

Thanks Kate! Will keep an eye out for it..hope they decide to repeat it one day.

Thanks for posting that
