Les Français ici à DU, présentez-vous s.v.p!
I know we have at least two: Rochambeau, who keeps us up-to-date with French news in LBN, and BonjourUSA, a newer addition to the DU Lounge.

Qui d'autre parmi nous est Français?

35. Et Vous Etes Peut-Etre De L'Hongarie?
Je m'excuse pour les defects de grammaire parce que je ne suis qu'une ancienne etudiente de la langue francaise. C'est trop pis que les europeannes ne peuvent pas voter dans l'election! Mais je suis certaine si vous etions repuglicans, le *ush cartel peut le fixer. Il faut etre en garde en novembre ou les repuglicans nous encore enrober. (I mean to say we must be watchful or the republicans will steal the election again; is enrober correct?).

5. ooo la la.....
he does reinforce those myths about french men being fantastic lovers. He's unabashedly romantic in ways that just aren't contrived or silly...

**sigh**

11. Perhaps, for you laidies, I learnt to open the doors, not to take a seat
Edited on Fri May-14-04 08:28 PM by BonjourUSA
before you, and many things else... And not to make love than a rabbit. is it a myth ? I could never prove it.... Hélas !

But I'm very angry to watch the American actors to do French kisses like suction cup for toilet (ventouse à chiotte)

4. I learnt French through my wife
Who is part French and part French Canadian. Its a lot of work but worth it since I live in a bilingual city. She's a purist when it comes to the French language so I always get chastised when I mix the two languages which I enjoy doing lol

28. I live in Perpignan, South of France
I chatted with an American on AOL. I taught to her about my astonishment to read so many bullshits on many American news sites.

She gave me the DU address and I have to say, if I am not always right with DUers especially about the success of the religious threads, I feel better with American people more informed and "brained", closer to my viewpoint.

30. We're glad you're here
And though we can't always make our presence known, the "brained' Americans are out there.

I have a dear friend in Paris who feels genuinely bad for us since what our government does and our press prints does not represent us at all.

Keep us informed on events in France, will you?

31. heehee -- "brained"
I am sorry to laugh at your English, BonjourUSA,( mon français est TERRIBLE! )-- but "brained" connotates getting whacked on the head with a blunt object, sometimes fatally! :P I understand your meaning, however! :-)

Happy to have you here!

17. Aimez comme des fraises?
Fraises avec la crème fouettée gentille et pelucheuse? Je les aime. J'également aime de grands, chauds, brouillés chandails avec des blessures de saignement et érige des pénis.

19. My francais is crap.
Edited on Fri May-14-04 08:23 PM by asthmaticeog
I was shooting for:

"Do you like strawberries? Strawberries with nice, fluffy whipped cram? I like them. I also like big, warm fuzzy sweaters with bleeding sores and boners."

My translation dictionary must have "fuzzy" to mean "fuzzy thinking" or suchlike, thus the "mix up" mixup.

On edit: if you could render that bit of extreme silliness more properly, I'd be much obliged.

Aimez-vous les fraises ? Des fraises avec de la bonne et onctueuse crême chantilly ? Je les aime. J'aime aussi..... (I'm sorry but after that's absolutely untranslatable)

23. posted on another thread
Have worked with German many years; took 5 years of French years ago.

A few years ago I said the following to some student of French; it wasn't until they all started cracking up that I realized what I had done...

....Je parle francais ein bisschen.
