Vous ne parlez pas le francais? Ca c'est triste.

Owwww...can we try to write a letter to her in Latin? I forgot all my Latin, and well I'm going to be in big trouble. I took French as my elective, but I don't know very much since I only started last year. French is fun, weird.

Je parle français un peu. Pero, yo sé español mas. *sigh* Watch the Spanish be wrong. I really forgot a lot of it. But Latin worries me more…Spanish kicks back once I start using it.

Do you understand my crapass French? I know it's not very good.

Is Latin harder? I'm starting it this semester. Updated On: 8/26/05 at 10:10 PM

Ugh, I haven't taken french in two years. I'm a little rusty! It was mandatory up to grade 9. Then I kept going until I graduated. But I'm not taking it in university. I probably should be, but I want to try new things... like Italian!

Et tu est un pamplemousse, cherie!

Je vous adorez!!

"Is Latin harder? I'm starting it this semester."

I found the first term of Latin to be really, really easy. (When you just work on cases, and the first couple of declensions.) Then it all backfired when we learned all the different verb groups and passive voice. It was way too many endings for me. It's alot of memorization. Distinguishing between the active and passive voice in like the present, perfect, future, future perfect, pluperfect just became god awful. That's when my grade dropped 5 points...o_0.

The only problem is that in my school for all the modern languages you spend the first month reviewing the stuff you learned the previous year and forgot...but they don't do that for any of the classical languages since we're on a tight schedule, sink or swim in Latin and Ancient Greek. (We don't take it until Sophmore year, and there's only a two year requirement...and crazed facination the administration has with everyone doing well on the National Latin Exam...we supposedly have the most perfect scores in the nation.)

I wasn't calling you a pamplemousse, Allie, just making sure you knew I was responding to Nia *sticks tongue out at Nia*

[insomniak]

Posted: 8/26/05 at 10:17pm

I've heard Latin is really tough.

Anyone know where Miss Emcee might be? This thread feels odd without her. Perhaps she's found a lofe.

[Atrias]

Posted: 8/26/05 at 10:19pm

A life, you mean?

[Allie]

Posted: 8/26/05 at 10:20pm

I know, Atrias, and I loooove pamplemousse!

I was wondering the same thing, Nia.

[insomniak]

Posted: 8/26/05 at 10:21pm

It's not a typo, Atrias- or rather, it's not MY typo. Someone once told this thread that we needed to all 'get a life', but spelled it 'lofe' instead. We sort of adopted the term. It's used as either a substitute for life or love.

Example- I lofe Adam so much that I don't have a lofe.

"Do you understand my crapass French? I know it's not very good."

Did you say: "You don't speak French? That's a shame."?

[Atrias]

Posted: 8/26/05 at 10:23pm

Pamplemousse is yummy, especially in the morning!
I kind of figured about the "lofe" thing. I was being intentionally ignorant.
I believe Emcee might be joining us soon.

And are you mocking my statement, or actually asking what I said?

Wait...is pamplemousse grapefruit?

[insomniak]

Posted: 8/26/05 at 10:25pm

We shall see.

What is pamplemousse?

[Allie]

Posted: 8/26/05 at 10:26pm

You got it, Marlene!

[Atrias]

Posted: 8/26/05 at 10:27pm

*giggles* That was our French class's inside joke in the seventh grade. We would call people pamplemousses and laugh hysterically when they looked confused.

Hi, all.

I fell asleep at six-thirty, and just woke up, now. I'm so sleep deprived that I literally almost passed out today, and when I wasn't feeling all dizzy and weird, I was delirious to the point of laughing at like... a peach. So, needless to say, I won't be up very late.

Nicely predicted, Atrias.

I remember writing about it in an "essay" for my French final...except I was trying to figure out if it was the essay about food or the one about me. Je suis une pamplemousse?!?!? Thought I forget if it's a feminine or masculine noun...that's why I like Spanish, gender is usually much clearer...and I know most of the expections.
