Okay, so this thing I have in an hour and a half is a sort of quasi-date. We'll be going alone, and there may be a fair amount of flirting, but nothing official, other than that apparently she does return my feelings in some way and thinks she would go out with me if I asked.

Sheeee-it! When did dating become politics!? When!? :freak:

french rocks big time. I love it, I've been in french immersion since grade 5 and it's like the best thing I've ever done
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

:nod: french really is the coolest. too bad my school district has one of the weakest french programs around and all of the 7 other people in my whole school who are taking french 5 don't give a crap about it and make no pretense to learn it, necessitating constant reviews of imparfait and passe compose... :neutral:

I live in one of the best french immersion regions in Ontario, it's awesome. The teachers are fantastic and the students are great. I love it.

tres bien Alex, je pense qu'on doit parler francais tout le temps, je ne peut pas trouver quelque chose mauvais si on le fait... au lieu que les qui ne savent pas qu'est-ce qu'on dit, mais ce n'est pas notre probleme.

Ici tous les gens disent que francais est une langue en cours de morir. Ils disent que ce n'est pas tres practicale et que espagnol est le choix le plus beneficial a apprendre. donc, tous les etudiants choisissent espagnol pour la langue seconde et l'ecole donne moins et moins d'argent aux programmes francaises.


(please excuse any crazy errors in there, i'm really out of practice)

Aggh, quelle blague. Tous les eleves ici disent que toute le monde parle anglais maintenant, alors il n'y a pas de raison pour apprendre un autre langue. C'est incroyable! Je ne comprend pas comment ils peuvent dire quelque chose comme ca... la variete, les langues etranges et nouvelles, ce sont les choses vraiment cheres.

oui c'est vrai. Les citoyens d'Amerique du Nord ne veulent pas savoir ou comprendre une autre langue. L'anglais est tous qu'on doit savoir selon ces personnes, et je pense que ceci est une grande probleme dans les ecoles. Je pense que des provinces comme Ontario ont les bonnes idees avec l'immersion francais, et les classes de francais chaque jour de la semaine jusqu'a la 9ieme annee, mais je dois penser qu'il y a beaucoup des autres places au Canada ou les eleves ne savent pas les plus facile idees de la langue.

ya it's great to know little things like that. It shows that you at least have some sign of intelligence. That's how you seperate the dumb from the intelligent. If they know a couple words from a 3rd language then they are smart :lol:

Je ne comprend pas comment il est possible pour les enfants de prendre des lessons en francais chaque jour pour nombres des ans, et d'etre encore incapable de former meme les phrases simples! C'est absolument ridiculeux. Et ca compte meme pour le petit nombre d'eleves qui donnent un vrai effort... je pense que peut etre il y a une grande probleme avec notre systeme d'education ici.
