    Het nieuwe gebouw op de hoek

    Er staat een nieuw gebouw op de hoek van een tamelijk druk kruispunt. Vroeger was er een Italiaanse groenten- en fruithandel en een discountzaak van slechts één verdieping op de plek, nu stijgt een vijf verdiepingen tellende moderne gebouw in de lucht. Het duurde 9 maanden om het te bouwen, wat een nachtmerrie voor voetgangers op het kruispunt veroorzaakte, bijzonders voornamelijk in de winter.

    Een jaar later is er geen chaos op het kruispunt meer, maar een nieuw gebouw met een Amerikaanse fast food restaurant, (nog) een drogist, en (nog) drie huisartsenpraktijken,...een twee lege verdiepingen. Geen verrassing, de helft van de winkels in deze wijk staan leeg. Wat dachten de bouwers, vraag ik me af?

    Als je toevallig voorbij gaat komt valt je de leegheid natuurlijk niet op, misschien enkel maar toch de beige verf op het nieuwe gebouw, die er al moe en depressief uitziet... vooral als het regent. Wat het hier vaak doet.

    (Kunt u mijn fouten verbeteren, alsublieft?)

    Hello gabriella,

     

    I actually didn't understand the last sentence in orange. Please explain.

     

    my story of life

    Each person learns English for some goal/reason and I'm not an exception. I learn a forein longuage for my future work job. It's a not ordinary traditional job for a woman. I want to be a sailor. I'm not going to write about it in detail, but I let's just say it isn't manual labor physically difficult work. I'm working on the a computer aboard on the vessel. Russian marine companies hardly employ women therefore I have to learn English to work to get hired.
    I dislike that other people consider I mustn't do it and tell me to I must t stay in and cook, to wash up and do other routine household chores. Why do they think rest of people must adore to do things which they like? You maybe think I'm a pessimist but you're might be confused. I'm just in a the bad mood today. )) I consider believe every person should listen to their heart and no one more nothing else because you're yourself only man who would be with you all teh time.
    I hope knowing people someone will correct the text ))

    Hello dear. 'easily' is not used in this context. Besides that the first sentence is correct. "Let's go back to the old place because it's easier for them to find us."

    To have is the verb 'avoir'

    To be is the verb 'être'

    Both are irregular so you have to learn them by heart.

     

    A good website with all conjugations of a verb is the following (here the verb avoir as exemple):

    http://la-conjugaison.nouvelobs.com/du/verbe/avoir.php

    Just put the verb in the search box in the upper right corner.

    You want to start with the present tense which is the first column and is called 'Indicatif présent'. Don't worry about the names of all the other tenses yet. So for avoir it is 'J'ai, tu as, il a, etc'

     

    You'll also want to learn the personal pronouns.

    Je = I

    Tu = you

    Il/elle = he/her

    Nous = We

    Vous = You in plural form (or you in polite form)

    Ils/Elles = They, third person

     

    That should get you started.

    Another tip: if you learn vocabulary in French, always learn if it's a feminine or masculine word too.

    I actually never learned English grammar or vocabulary like we do in school with books etc. I did start using Anki to get the hang of some advanced vocabulary though. Really like that application. So - About 5min each day for Anki (http://ankisrs.net/) - Reading some books in English. Might be a few hours each week. - Watching movies without subtitles. About one each two weeks.

    Mein Wochenende Guten Tag, Dies ist meine erste Deutsche Text. Ich gehen heute fahren am Nachmittag. Mein Plan ist 100km zu tun in der Region. Gestern besuchte ich Freunden und wir haben Grill gegessen. Es war sehr Schön. Heute ist unglücklicherweise auch der letzte Tag von mein Urlaub. Wir gingen nach Spanien. Gab es viel Sonnenschein, gutes Essen und schöne Frauen (aha!). Tipps um besser Deutsch zu lernen sind immer Wilkommen. Tschüss, Evert

    History.

    This in the sense that China has such an incredible heirloom of temples, rituals and culture in general.

    I really like the aura of ancient China with it's complexity, mystery and beautiful buildings.

    Est-ce que les jeunes utilise 'vous' ou 'tu' quand ils recontrent des gens qu'ils connaissent pas? Est-ce que les jeunes utilise 'vous' ou 'tu' quand ils recontrent des gens qu'ils connaissent pas? ça change à quelle age vers 'vous' pour la politesse entre adultes?
