TECHFL227 422 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I was not sure where to put this topic and was unable to locate if one as already been started. I did locate the topic on which language to learn in high school but didn't know whether to add this onto that one or start new. Does anyone speak French that would be willing to allow us to reach out to you for help if needed during a high school French I class? My daughter is starting French I as an online class through Florida Virtual School and is freaking out because we do not know anyone that speaks French that she could go to with questions if needed. She was accepted into the Cambridge AICE program which requires additional work and advanced classes through high school. Our daughter did not want to give up her elective choices so they gave her the option to keep her electives if she took a Foreign Language online through virtual school. She decided that was the route she wanted to take and chose French. Any help or guidance is much appreciated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prodigy_Rocks_ 231 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) I know a bit of French. I'm only know a handful of vocabulary and others things, so. I wouldn't be much of help. The only thing I know off the top of my head atm are the verbs. Anything that ends in "ER", "IR", or "RE" is a verb and some of those words are words you know in English such as "placer"-to place EDIT: Had to edit due to a lot of typos.

The French we were taught in school is different from the French the rest of the world. Canadian French is similar to Normal French, but its different enough for a French person to have a laugh at your expense lol. But you definitely could order a poutine in Montreal without to much trouble 1 Quote Crew Policies and Vetting Procedure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly because subs are someone interpretation of the French language.

TECHFL227 422 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Thank you @Fido_le_muet I will definitely let you know if we need it. Just watching the first introduction with her teacher last night had me nervous for her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyB 2,086 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 @TECHFL227I've recently just started to learn spanish and I'm using an app called DuoLingo. You should check it out. I'm finding it really good so far as it teaches you to read, write and speak the language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now work with a lot of Vietnamese people that have very poor English, most of which speak no English. I just tried this app, and it's very easy to follow. I'll keep up with the lessons and see how it goes. Thanks for posting this @ScottyB 1 Quote THE SKORPION PITMy Created Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been doing it for 3 days now and If I see the words that I've learnt in front of me, I'll be able to tell what they are for the most part but I'm struggling to recall them blindly. Obviously that will come but they seem to have a very good amount of repetition to allow the words to sink in, along with the spelling and pronunciation of it.

Fortunately there are a lot of signs around my work with Vietnamese on them, so that will help as I'm learning those words. 1 Quote THE SKORPION PITMy Created Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skorpion 2,499 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) So I was talking with one of the Vietnamese girls at work, and long story short, what I've been learning off DuoLingo is not 100% accurate. I should point out though, that Vietnamese is still in Beta stage. @ScottyB Edited April 28, 2016 by Skorpion Quote THE SKORPION PITMy Created Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
