Edit Fuck I'm feeling like 🐀 boy pete, I have been humbled and realize I really need to get back to basics. I'll probably leave this up to remind myself I need to practice and for others to learn from my shame.
So I took French in high school because I thought it would help me with the ladies. Spoiler I never got the courage to try. Anyway I want to practice my French for non horny reasons and was wondering if y'all could throw some leftist pdfs my way so I could practice and try reading theory at the same time. I know that green owl app exists but I never really learn from those things. Also would love it y'all could recommend some good leftist podcasts in French. I can somewhat speak it and read it with my French to English dictionary on hand. I know I'm probably asking for a lot but would appreciate it. With the state of everything I want to throw myself into learning something to avoid being a doomer.
Ouin, bein chuis anlgo quebecois, fec mon francais est merde et pas prope du tout.
Resisting to fall back on Google translate, I'll try my best. J'ai appredre pour duex ans mais je ne parler pas pour huit ans. Trying my best but I don't remember much and am battling autocorrect that thinks it knows better.
Tu faut conjuguer tes verbes. Pour "apprendre" dans cette context, on utilise le passe compose, fec sa va etre " J'ai appris pour deux ans" et ton deuxiem verb va etre dans imparfait, fec "je ne parlais pas pour huit ans"
You need to conjure your verbs. For "apprendre" in this context, we use passe compose, so it will be " J'ai apprenais pour deux ans" and your second verb will be in imparfait, so "je ne parlais pas pour huit ans"
But again, I'm an anglo and don't take my structure to heart. But your translations are decent. Conjugation is a mother fucker.
Being a bit more picky, "apprendre" is to learn. I'd probably use "study/etudier".
Some of this coming back to me so thank you. Yeah I really should get back to basics before attempting theory.
I've bookmarked it, thank you I'll try practicing it tomorrow after I'm done nursing my pride.
Honestly, try picking up a book you already love, translated. That's the way I learned, Vonnegut specifically. Theory can use more advanced grammar and nuance is important.
Yeah I guess your right, guess my ambition got ahead of me. I was struggling just now both because of my memory and autocorrect to try to respond to someone.
Actually on a kindle, phone battery blew up and don't have access to computer right now. But this is a good idea going forward.
I remember after high school I bought a book about a model with anorexia in French the dictionary was more for words that I never saw before. I remember how to verb and other things but really out of practice. Maybe I should get back to basics before trying anything to heavy.
This made feel better thank you, I'll get back to practice soon I think I still have a text book lying around.
