I need a translation engish -> french Are you currently engaged in a degree seeking program? Un programme de recherche de quoi? Dans le contexte (site d'un recrteur j'aurai tendance à penser "Etes vous en recherche d'un job en ce moment?" Mais degree me rappelle le niveau scolaire, suis-je encore à l'école? Ou suis-je dans une démarche de mise à niveau ou acqusition de compétences? Merci à vous de votre aideEn l'absence de réponse, j'ai cherché et je fais la question et la réponse. "Are you currently engaged in a degree seeking program?" On me demande mot à mot "Suis-je en cours d'acqusition de compétences". Donc en gros "Suis encore àl'école?" Je l'ai deviné car en sélectionnant cette option une fenetre s'est ouverte me demandant la date d'obtention de l'examen

I advice you an excellent French program for cinéphile Hi evrybody. I continue my English apprenticeship with films (see my first note) ans today I want to share two subjects with you: My yesterday evening seance and a nice French program on internet if you are a movie buff. At first, yesterday in the evening I watched Ghostbusters and English version permit to me to understand a lot of new word tricks which don't exist in the French version. I wanna share one of them with you. At the beginning of the film, Pete, Ray and Egon are in the library to see a ghost. Pete tries to speak with the ectoplasm but the ghost (an old librarian) says him Shhhhhh! So Ray says he has a plan which is to GET HER! (he screams this). The ghost frightens them and they run away fast out of the library. A few minutes later Pete teases Ray about his nice plan to GET HER! I found the scene funnier than in French. Nearly the end of the film, Gozer appears and Ghostbusters note that she's a girl and Ray suggests to speak with her. So Pete look at Ray and says him: Ray, get her? I found this link is funny ans I'm sorry it doesn't exist in French. Second point: One of the main cinema internet site in France is "Allociné.fr". On the site, you can find everything about all films (teaser, photos, etc...). There is also a video program called "Faux Raccord" in the video menu and this is the program I want to talk about. The goal of this funny program (presentators are Michel & Michel) is to analyse scene by scene a film to find "jump cut"? In French a "Faux Raccord ( =Jump cut, I'm not sure with the translation) is a link problem between two scenes in the same film. For example if an actor have red shoes in a scene and blue shoes in the scene which is immediately next. The emission deals also with cameo (Stan Lee is the boss in that), time and weather contradiction or camera reflection . So I advice this program if you like cinema and if you want to see details who didn't note at first watch and of course if you looks for a French program lo learn my language. For help I give the link. http://www.allocine.fr/video/programme-12284/ Have fun and thanks for advance for the correction of my note

to joke ou to kid? Is there a difference between these two verbs without the fact that joke can be used as a noun and kid not? ThanksI understand. I think we can translate to joke with "plaisanter, faire une blague" and translate to kid or to tease with "taquiner". Can a bilingial person confirm me that? Thanks

Teach english with my favorite films Hi everybody, this is my first note and i want to share my passion for cinema with you. To practice my english, i decided to watch my favorite films en english but actually i put the subtitles because my hear is not already trained to understand what i heard. Since saturday, i watched the Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy (i'm a fan of Batman) and Back to the future trilogy. This experience makes me discover a lot of strange differences between french and english version. A funny example en Back to the Future trilogy: the bad guy Biff Tannen often use the word "Butthead" in english (could you explain me the real translation because in french i understand "tronche de cul") to talk to Marty or George Mc Fly. In french, this word was translated in "Banane" (you devine banana in english). I think it's strange because "Banan"e is softer than Butthead. My theory is the transators chose Banane because it begins by a "B" like Butthead for not shocking with the movement of the lips. And you, have you already do this? (compare versions). Have you got any stories about film translation? I did my best in this note to write instinctly (not looking for my word in a dictionary). See you soon.
