TV show, series or movie in French

Hello everyone,

what tv show, series do you recommend for French beginner. If there is something similar to Red Dwarf, Black Books or Yes, Minister in French it would be awesome :). I prefer shorter ones.

Thank you in advance!

if or whether I was browsing through notebook's entries and I discovered one post where it was written: "If I want to marry him". It was corrected to "Whether I want to marry him." Could you please help me in which cases I can use "if" and when "whether". Thank you in advance.

Tony Blair, Jack Straw, Robin Cook and Clare Short - what is your opinion?

I would like to address this mainly to people from UK. As I have just finished my bachelor's thesis on "War in Iraq" I would like to ask you, what do you think about Tony Blair's public statements about this event. Was it clear message? Was it confusing? Has Jack Straw done everything as a Minister of Foreign affairs to preserve British position? Was this idea supported by public opinion or was it against people's will? What do you think about resignation of Clare Short? Should she resignate earlier? What do you think about Robin Cook and his departure?

Please I do not want to discuss whether it was right or wrong to attack Iraq. I'm just interesting in politics and how does it effect the public opinion. My aim is not to do harm to anybody. 

PS: feel free to correct my text.

What is your opinion on "hello dear"?

I would like to ask you what do you think about greeting phrase: "hello dear". Is it just me who finds it odd? Recently, I have received quite a lot of messages that begin with this. I think it is more appropriate to use "Hello + name" or "Dear + name" (in case they want to use dear). What do you think. Thank you :)

PS: feel free to correct my text.

EDIT: I am refering to messages like: "Hello dear I would like to become your language partner"

new place to live

*notice*

*end of notice*

In Czech republic we will have general election. The result we will know on the late evening on Saturday. I'm really scared that we are on the road backwards (to the totalitarian regime). If my nightmare become a reality, I'm thinking of moving away :) In that case which place will you recommend me and why :)

feel free to correct my post, thank you.

Is affection good or not?

We had interesting discussion with my colleagues (women) during lunch break today.

Three of us have a male teacher and one told us that she has some feelings for her teacher. The main question was whether she should change teacher or not. We were remembering our school days when these feelings made us better students but does it work also in later years? What do you think? 

Would you continue with your lessons or would you change teacher? Thank you for your opinions :)

Visite de Prague Visite de Prague Prague est une belle vieille ville avec son histoire ancienne. Vous avez été ici avant, mais je vais essayer de vous présenter la mère de toutes les villes comme je l'ai connu. J'aime son centre. La nuit, quand il n'y a presque personne, son histoire et de nombreuses histoires anciennes respirez-nous. J'adore les promenades nocturnes. Prague est l'endroit le plus beau lorsque le soleil se couche et les rues sont lentement dépeuplées. Je me promène dans les petites rues du château. J'évite les groupes bruyants. Je m'arrête à Charles Bridge. J'admire les sculptures. J'entends le bruit de l'eau qui coule sur moi. Je regarde le château lumineux et majestueux, la résidence des rois tchèques, et je suis stupéfait d'étonnement. Je grimpe au château et je regarde la ville qui semble être entre mes mains. C'est un regard qui m'a toujours coincé. C'est agréable de passer par ces endroits avec quelqu'un qui a compris pour cela. Sinon, il vaut mieux aller seul. Parfois, je me dirige vers le bar "U Malého Glenna". Le jazz se joue au sous-sol. Je suis assis au bar, commande un whisky. J'écoute de la musique et me souviens quand j'ai entendu du jazz pour la première fois. Et si ce n'est pas suffisant pour vous, je peux vous promettre que je vais cuisiner pour vousquelque chose de délicieux si vous venez à Prague.

Prague's visit Prague’s visit Prague is a beautiful old town with its ancient history. You have been here before, but I will try to introduce you to the mother of all the cities as I have known it. I love its center. At night, when there is almost no one, its history and many ancient stories breathe on us. I love night walks. Prague is the most beautiful place when the sun sets and the streets are slowly being depopulated. I walk down through the small streets to the castle. I avoid the noisy groups. I stop at Charles Bridge. I admire sculptures. I hear the sound of the water flowing beneath me. I look at the lighted and majestic castle, the residence of the Czech kings, and I am speechless in amazement. I climb up to the castle and I look at the city that I have in my hand. This is a look that has always stuck to me. It's nice to go through these places with someone who has understanding. Otherwise, it is better to go alone. Sometimes I walk to the bar "U Malého Glenna". Jazz is played in the basement. I sit at the bar, order a whiskey. I listen to music and remember when I have heard jazz for the first time. And if it is not enough for you, I can promise you that I will cook for you something delicious in case you would come to Prague.
