So, did we give up on learning French already?

NO

>> No.2628026

je ne crois pas, cela manque un peu d'organisation, le thread se trouvant infesté de posts annexes traîtant de politique n'arrangent pas les choses...
We should choose a book every two weeks or every month to read, analyze & discuss.
Two threads coexisting independently would assure a better circulation of information: grammar/language & literature.
And please, stop ranting about french politics, those kind of posts are cancer; if i were to learn a language by direclty discussing Hollande over Sarkozy I would shoot myself..twice.

There wasn't any ranting, we were all praising France for getting real.

You guys should make a proper thread for this, I saw some racicst stuff in there, and that kind of discussion generally recquire a subtle understanding of french culture, history of the fifth and then some. I praise the cultural approach when it comes to learning languages but lit, films, music>>>>politics learning-wise.

>> No.2628063

OK guizes, since it's seems to be the duty to the billingual to show the way I *promise* to make an interesting thread within the week. I need to study & shit now but prepare yourselves with serious lit-stuff, I've got games & everthing.

But I need to know the overall level. How many og you know basic grammar, how many don't know jack shit about it, how many are ready for light reads and small texts exerpts? Those interested get in here and ask for a level of difficulty. Do you prefer for the discussion to be entierly in french, translated, english? Give me some indications & I promise you a Good thread.

Having a thread done entirely in French would be best for all, I think. The best way to learn a language is full immersion, I mean that's how you learnt your mother tongue right?

>>2628026
Like this anon said we should have a seperate thread for grammar/vocab/conjugation (understanding the rules and basics of the language) and one for literature and reading comprehension.

Also, just to make it easier for everyone let's decide to keep it to your standard Parisian French, or at least not confuse people with Joual

I think this has the potential to be something really constructive on this board and I'm extremely excited for it

Or maybe we just talk about literature?

>> No.2628168

seconded.

>> No.2628212

>>2628158
I say:

One thread spoken entirely in French with a weekly prompt that varies in difficulty (mon/tues is easy, eg. "What did you do with your weekend", wed/thur is moderate, eg. "Brief discussions about this movie/videogame/recent news story", and when we get the ball rolling, fri-sun is hard mode, "discuss [news story]/[review this book] etc." The hard mode threads will have the aim of getting to the point where we are discussing any given topic as we would in English, but, in French. Easy/Med difficulty threads will likely be simple conversations (med) to sitting down and thinking up a paragraph or two to answer the prompt and helping eachother out (in English) with all the poor grammar/etc. (easy). Once a month we could also assign a book or two in French.

Thread two would be the 'questions' thread, where everything is asked and answered in English. You could use this thread to prep you to post your responses in the other thread.

There is going to be a huge hurdle to get over before this gets anywhere, as most people are going to have shitty French. Despite the potential, this may die very quickly, so someone needs to take charge.

This won't get anywhere if you're expecting everybody to already speak French.

I can see why you guys are ostracised from regular society

Same here. I have very basic highschool knowledge of the french language. I am willing to learn however and participate any way I can.

Perhaps someone can recommend some really basic entry-level literature? Would be a great help, thanks.
