Hi, my name is Ysé Giraud and I live in France. I teach French and Litterature in middle school. In my free time, I like reading and drawing. I think I can express myself well enough to be understood in English, but now I would like to grasp a more complex aspect of the english language. I don't want it to be just a tool of international understanding but a language with it's own specificity. Thus I'm looking for a native English speaker who would like to learn French in return. Have a good day ! Ciao ! Provo anche a parlare italiano communque non è facile ! Sarebbe un piacere di chiachierare in questa lingua, e di aiutare chiunque è interessato nella lingua francese ! Amo dibattere, scambiare idee sulla cultura, la philosofia, la storia... Buona giornatà ! If you need some help with french, or if you search a french partner, just contact me. :)

    Ma journée

    Aujourd'hui j'ai eu école ;  jusqu'ici, les cours ont été assez faciles à comprendre. Le matin j'ai eu calcul et chimie. Je n'ai pas eu beaucoup de devoirs dans ces deux cours , donc j'ai pu terminer la plupart d'entre eux pendant le déjeuner. Après le repas, j'ai eu un bloc de rechange où j'ai terminé le reste de mes devoirs et j'ai écrit ceci. Mon prochain cours est la biologie où nous apprendrons la théorie de l'évolution / Mon prochain cours est la biologie qui portera sur la théorie de l'évolution.

    Some commentaries about my proposition :

    - "Ont été plus facile à comprendre" : in french, we don't say "l'école est simple". We speak about the lessons. Furthermore, "simple" has several meaning : "les cours sont trop simples pour moi" = "the lessons are too simple/easy for me" it's negative . " j'aime ce cours, il n'est pas compliqué à comprendre, il est simple" = " I like this lesson, it is not too complicate/hard for me, it's easy". It's positive. In your sentence, we cannot decide whether or not it's a good thing. So I rather write " ils ont été (passé composé) faciles à comprendre" (easy to anderstand).

    - ces deux cours : in order to avoid the repetition of "matin", I used "ces" which mean "thoses", in this case calculation and chemistry lessons (as you said before).

    - repas : means "meal" in order to avoid the repetition of "déjeuner" (French hate repetition. A traduction of "I dreamed a dream" in french is impossible).

    - Mon prochain cours est la biologie où nous apprendrons la théorie de l'évolution : If you say that, you say you do not know what the evolution theory is, and the lesson will explain it to you. It's the reason why i have proposed a second sentence with "qui portera sur la théorie de l'évolution "wich will be about...." : it's a way to say the lesson will teach you SOMETHING about evolution theory, but not what the theory is.

    - Un bloc de rechange : I don't anderstand what it is... paper ? What do you mean by "j'ai eu un bloc de rechange" ? Did you buy it ? Was it in you bag all along ?


    I hope I have helped you. I didn't know your level in french so I tried to explain  my choice in english... Did you anderstand me ?
