Hi Carbuncle!
The French staple is "Steak and chips". Steak is often smaller than yours.
Kids have often Ham and noodles.
Rice is a staple here...and it looks like we need a new question, so I will put one in.....
If you could create an officially holiday...what would you name it and what day would it be?
Day of national staples!
What do you think?
What do I think? I think I haven't thought many intelligent things to think about today.
If you HAD to choose between cannibalism or starvation, which would you choose?
starvation!!!
do you like to cook?
I like to cook, but no one likes to eat it. Some kind of miracle though, Thanksgiving turned out perfect!
What was the last movie you rented and watched at home?
My brother and I rented several movies last week at the same time and they were: Requiem for a Dream, The Anarchist Cookbook, and Punch Drunk Love. And my roomies and I rented Sex and the City season 3 on Sunday, but that's not a movie.
Was my answer long enough?
Your answer is perfect to me. I tend to make short sentences but that's because my english vocabulary is not a very extended one.
But it's still improving and in some weeks it will be better.
What is your opinion about forums improving english?
It's a good idea. I need a forum to improve my Spanish :-)
um... Comment allez vous?
Je vais tres bien en général, merci, mais je suis un peu enrhumé ce matin. Merde, j'ai perdu l'accent grave - mille pardons! Les ordinateurs anglais, tu sais...
In language learning, there is no substitute for living in the country whose language you wish to learn. Agree or disagree?
It helps if you want to speak the language fluently, yes. But I think I could greatly improve my Spanish speaking if I could just talk to some local hispanics.
Btw, you lost me after "I am very well in general"... I haven't learned any French since I was 12.
Do you like to take naps?
Clary :
Assuming you are a woman, you must say : "enrhumée"
Advice : prends un grog et fais une sieste!
wcb :
Creo que puedo hablar contigo!
Have you allways spanish connected questions?
haha, no not always.
Cuantos idiomas puedas hablar?
(How many languages can you speak?)
a little.
Number is meaningless.
Try some. You'll see if I can answer.
Vale? (It's ok?)
Vale (bah-lay) means okay in Swahili too!
By the way, anyone can answer these questions!!
Umm, what's something trivial that really drives you nuts? (like, a pet peeve)
