French lessons

Exams over, i am free! (quite outdated already)
sunny days.. keeping the clouds away..
i think we're coming to a clearer and brighter day
haha random.


Alors, my french course has ended, and im less than halfway through the textbook they made me buy. so slow lor. one whole year only do like 40 pages... now im thinking of continuing at the proper place for french. but if not, self study can do too.


a lot of french words are similar to english words, so much that you just need to know the sentence structure, and the new words can be guessed. but heres a list of words which means very different from the english words it sounds like.


blue = french word
green = suggested translation
red = actual meaning

merci - mercy - thank you

sil vous plait - silver plate - please

je suis - Jesus - I am

sympa - pitiful - nice

fille - fill - daughter

mari - a girl's name - husband

travaille - travel - work

campagne - campaign - countryside

aussi - australian - also

maintenant - maintenance - currently

parti - party - gone away

chemise - chemicals - shirt

vetements - vitamins - clothings

immeuble - immobile - building

promene - prominent - go for a walk

thinking carefully, most of them can actually be argued to have some relation between the suggested and real meaning.
