In the Netherlands the VWO (pre-university-school) we have to learn French.
It is not very difficult to read, but talking in this language is very difficult.
But speaking it out and make sentences of that words is very difficult.
In the Netherlands they say you French guys, don't even want to speak English to the tourists, speaking English would make conversation much easier. But you look out to be able to speak English!!!
lol, thx.
Even for the french borns, french is very difficult (some people have spent their time, two or three years ago, to know how many french words a french teenager knows, and it seems to be about 500 words!). And if we have some difficulties to speak english with the tourist, well, mayB coz we're too lazy to try to think about using the bit of english we know. I say "we" coz i was in that kind of situation some weeks ago, b4 i was on this forum and talking 2 some great english speakers, lol... they'll probably recognize themselves if they read this, lol. I just would like 2 add that one of my friends asked me if i regret, sometimes, the hard times i had these last years, and i answered that sometimes it happens that i do, but i probably wouldn't b there and wouldn't know some great people, even though they're living very far away, or close to me, and these persons are, for me, one good reason to get through bad times (now, everything's right, going 2 Great Britain during the summer 2007. Probably go once again 2 Scotland, but after that... Any idea?). And, consedering all the things i've went throught, i do not mean by that there's a lot, no there was just some, but boys and girls can b very mean, and it can go very far, and sometimes it look just like hell, buts the acts, their causes and consequences have some impacts on life, sometimes bad, but for me it's good, i know who is my friend now, and this one is the best that i can find on the whole earth. Hopefully, she does not understand a lot of english, otherwise she would think i'm going to be depressed again (Non, Lisa, si tu lis a et que tu comprends, t'affole pas, c'est juste que j'ai recommencé a reprendre du service sur un certain bouquin... D'accord, affole toi, ou c'est moi qui vais devenir folle... KESKE JE RACONTE ENCORE MOI?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! je SUIS folle!).
