I signed up here a while ago but I've only recently started to really interact on the site. I get the impression it's a pretty quiet community with not much people but I might be wrong. I haven't had any issue with people flirting just the odd message with someone saying "Hi". If someone asks for your age, it could also be out of curiosity, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're interested in having a relationship with you. For me personally, I see this site as an educational platform where language learners can help each to reach their respective goals and no one should feel pressured to give out any kind of personal details if they don't want to.

En matière de reggae chanté en français, ça se fait peu mais un titre qui me vient à l'esprit c'est « Mets de l'huile » de Regg'Lyss. Ces chansons sont pas forcément des chansons d'été mais bon si elles te font plaisir, tant mieux!;)0 votedJune 22, 20170
- Et si on créait une playlist estivale?Enfin l'été! Pour certains, c'est le temps des vacances pendant que d'autres bullent... Mais encore y'en a qui bossent quand même! Pour moi, une chanson d'été évoque avant tout le soleil, les plages et les îles paradisiaques. Où que vous soyez dans le monde, je vous incite à vous évader un peu en écoutant cette petite liste de chansons que je vous ai concoctées.L'amour à la plage - NiagaraVoilà l'été - Les Négresses VertesJ'veux du soleil - Au P'Tit BonheurVacances, j'oublie tout - ÉléganceJ'aime regarder les filles - Patrick CoutinAu soleil - JeniferSunshine - Superbus*Voyage voyage - DesirelessSous le sunlight des tropiques - Gilbert MontagnéLe soleil donne - Laurent Voulzy**Et vous? Quelles chansons ajouteriez-vous à cette playlist?*français/anglais**français/anglais/espagnolJune 22, 201740
- Everyday just make sure you expose yourself to the language especially if you are not in a country where the language is being spoken. Watch and listen to videos in your target language everyday. It doesn't matter if you don't understand anything much right now. What you are doing is getting your ear accustomed to the rhythm and intonation of the native speaker. It seems at first that the person is speaking quickly but as you become more confident in the language, the rate of speech gets slower and slower (I'm saying this from personal experience). Good Luck!0 votedJune 21, 20170
- What I'm about to say I believe can be applied to any foreign language. I'm not the first to say it and I probably won't be the last but yes I do believe that it is possible to learn a language outside of the classroom. The best way of course is by immersion and when I say "immersion", I don't necessarily mean that you have live in a country where the language is spoken (although this would of course be the quickest way to learn). Thanks to technology and sites like "Youtube", it's possible to learn virtually anything online but you must train yourself everyday! From my own personal experience, I have to say that watching videos in my target language (French) and repeating what the native speaker says has helped me greatly in improving my diction and listening skills in the language and in being able to express myself with more confidence. A new born learns by observing his or her surroundings and by mimicking adults so in a sense learning a language for me is a bit like becoming a child again. I observe, I listen carefully and I try to repeat what I hear in the exact intonation, rhythm etc. that it is said by the native speaker. For beginners in any language I would say: Start with the alphabet first and then from there I would go on to phonetics (In any language you must be able to make the distinction between sounds eg. between a consonant sound and a vowel sound) and then you can get to the grammar.0 votedJune 21, 20170
Time Flies (2)
In my previous post, I wrote about my early childhood and how remeniscing (reminiscing) about my past made me feel both nostalgic and excited. The next stage in my trip down memory lane is dedicated to my best childhood friend. His name is Eric. We fell out of touch some 25 years ago when his parents decided to move to a different region where his deaf sister could attend a special school. As luck would have it, he got in touch with me recently through Facebook. I have a vivid recollection of all the wild adventures we planned together, like sailing around the world or travelling to the North Pole with a dog-drawn sled. Unfortunately he now lives in Canada which makes it difficult to meet face-to-face. Still, I hope that one day we will reunite and catch up! Sometimes I wonder whether he has changed with time or whether we still share the same dreams we had as boys. Maybe I shoud (should) just book a flight to Canada after all!Your level in English is outstanding!
Note: The "l" in should is silent!
