Hi! My name is Whitney -- I am living in Utah in the United States. I am a complete beginner in the French language. I am using the Carnegie Melon Open Learning Course to study, as well as watching the "French in Action" videos from Annenberg Media. In addition I am going to try listening to the Book of Mormon in French. I need someone to practice the exercises from the course with, and to help me with pronunciation.I am at a community college right now-- I will graduate in May and then I want to transfer to the University of Utah. One of the requirements for applying to the University is that you have to know the equivalent of at least two college semesters of a foreign language. You can, however, test out without actually having to take the classes, which I hope to do because it is a much less expensive option! I picked French because my husband's family is from Louisiana and they tend to speak French a lot. (Well his Grandparents do anyway.) Also I am Mormon and our religion places a pretty strong emphasis on learning about our ancestors. Someday I want to visit Canada and then France with my husband and see the places where his ancestors are from.

    Je suis malade. Toute cette semaine j'ai été malade. Aujourd’hui je suis un peu malade. Hier j’ai été très malade. J’ai dormi et bu gatorade, jus de pomme, et thé de poivrée. Mon nez et ma poitrine sont mal. J'ai une toux. Je n'ai pas assisté à l'école. Je n’ai pas complète mes devoirs. J’ai trois examens demain, sur comptabilité, la science économique, et anglaise. Je suis très intimidé ! Qu'est-ce qui se passera si je éternuer sur mon papier?

    Poém de Gilles Vingeault J'aime cette poém de Gilles Vingeault. Il est sur du Québec, mais j'ai pensé à Utah quand je l'ai lu. My Pays de Gilles Vigneault Mon pays ce n'est pas un pays, c'est l'hiver Mon jardin ce n'est pas un jardin, c'est la plaine Mon chemin ce n'est pas un chemin, c'est la neige Mon pays ce n'est pas un pays, c'est l'hiver Le photo est du Mont Timpanogos en Heber, Utah. Heber est mon village natal.

    Usually, I get up at 7 o`clock. I like to get up earlier, because than I have enough time for my obligations and too for relaxes. I`m never skip breakfast. and I usually have breakfast at home or, if I`m in hurry,on university, I'll have breakfast in some bakery at the university. My <a id="_GPLITA_0" style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Click to Continue > by saveshare" href="#">classes</a> are not in don't start for some time. Sometimes they are finished earlyier, but sometimes not. When I have a break, then I have lunch. When I go come back home I have a little time to relax, and then I study. In the evening I have a little exercise a little. I dance in one a folklore group. And I usually go to bed at 11:30p.m. o`clock.

    Feé,

     

    You should check out www.lyricstraining.com!  They have interactive games (fill in the blank etc.) to help you memorize music from YouTube.   I use it to learn songs in french, but they have english titles as well.  Best of luck!

    Ceci n'est pas une pipe Je passais en revue l'Internet pour des idées sur quelles l'image à utiliser pour mon cartes mnémotechniques pour l'expression «Ce ne pas » et une image d'un pipe continué à apparaître! Enfin, je l'ai cherché Google en anglais. La pipe est une peinture de René Magritte intitulé «La trahison des images ». Le légende est « Ceci n'est pas un pipe ». En fin de compte, j’utilisé l'image en mes cartes mnémotechniques!

    Chinese National day is coming

    It has been is a long time not to since I have accessed italki. How time flies! The Chinese National holiday is coming up.  It is one of the longest holidays that we get in China. It is a one week long holiday (two weekends plus statutory three days).

    Frankly speaking, it the holiday is  a time to hang out or visit some friends in the holiday. But one problem should be considered, which is that there will be huge crowds everywhere. It It ought to be a very good time to go out to see the beautiful scenery, and have some relax and enjoy the holiday. The truth is, however, that you don't have the mode  usually aren't in a mood to enjoy it, probably because there are crowds everywhere.

    Anyway, I wish hope that I will enjoy this holiday. After all,I only have two shots to enjoy such a long holiday in a each year. There are no other holidays are available until the Spring Festival.

    Although technically correct (except that you misspelled the word sweet), most of those sentences aren't very natural sounding. I would say them like this: This meal has no salt. This sweet is too sugary. Also - This candy is too sugary. Let's add more salt to it. Let's add more sugar to it.
