I am a Masters student in Mathematics and Computer Science (specialising in cryptography) at University of Bordeaux, France. I started studying Japanese last year when I studied at the University of California and took Japanese classes there along with CS and math. I have been studying it on my own since then. I can help you with both English and French, but because of reasons I can help only in writing (I have Skype, but I only do text).

    Hello everyone!

    I'm looking for people willing¹ to speak English with me.
    I can also help you to improve your French.

     

    Oreline, c'est un joli prénom. :)

     

    ¹ En gros on utilise "want" qund on veut vraiment quelque chose, et "willing" pour ce qu'on exprime en français par "veut bien" (càd "pas contre").

    Par contre, "à cause de" a un sens plus large. On peut par exemple dire "à cause de toi", mais évidemment pas "suite à toi". "Suite à" implique à la fois la postériorité et la causalité, alors que "à cause de" implique uniquement la causalité.

    D'après le TLFi, la locution "suite à" a toujours valeur causative. C. [Comme résultat, effet, conséquence d'un fait, d'un événement] [Sans compl. exprimé] Sur votre honneur, vous répondrez des suites? (DUMAS père, Christine, 1830, IV, 5, p. 267). Locutions [...] (Comme) suite à. Suite à votre courrier. Comme suite à ma lettre circulaire du 3 novembre, je vous prie de me faire parvenir d'urgence les projets (DE GAULLE, Mém. guerre, 1956, p. 550). Dans le domaine du dr. Comme suite à. En application de. Comme suite à l'arrêt du Conseil d'État du 18 octobre 1929 (...), les anciens sièges ont été rétablis (BACQUIAS, Cons. gén. et cons. arrondiss., 1934, p. 95). Je pense que la différence est simplement une différence de niveau de langue, "suite à" étant plus formel que "à cause de". On ne lit jamais "à cause de" dans un texte officiel, par exemple.

    Turkish Flag


    The Flag and Anthem are very important to¹the Turkish people. The Flag is a respected symbol for the Turks that should always be on the top. There are even rules and laws that protect it². For example it is not allowed to wear flag-printed t-shirts or burn the Turkish flag. It symbolises the national independence war fought³ between 1919 and⁴ 1923. In that period the Ottoman empire collapsed and the new Turkish Republic settled after a number of wars where many people have lost their lives. The red color sybolises the blood and the star with moon the independence.

     

    1: For a discussion of "important to" vs. "important for", see http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic21468.html

    2: "Protect this respect" sounds weird. Respect is not something that you can legislate. You can make laws that force people to pretend to respect something, but not to actually respect it.

    3: "Made" was correct but a little bland.

    4: "Between X and Y" or "from X to Y". Not "between X to Y".

    Also your English is a mixture of UK and US English. "Symbolises" is UK (US: "symbolizes"), but "color" is US (UK: "colour").

    Cela dit, la deuxième phrase, bien que correcte grammaticalement, ne me paraît pas naturelle. J'emploierais plutôt la première.

    Also, be careful because it's a "faux ami". Librairie = Bookstore Library = Bibliothèque
