I lost concentration in my listening.. so my hope of A is gone most probably.. because i got 75% in speaking.. 80 would have been an A.. and even though if i do good in reading and writing there is this p2.. which yeah would happliy make me get a B most probably .. sighs.. ts k.. man dont worry.. ummm.. you know the book.. donno which one you use.. but we have one though ts gcse.. ts on on writing.. by Heinemann .. i guess.. ts good .. teaches you structure of the essays.. and yeah lastly.. try learning the tenses as much as you can.. I remember doing this paper once n it told u describe this event in which you most probably had to use all the tenses.. sighs.. anyways.. french is quite easy honestly.. you just have to put in mind that you can do it.. think of it.. honestly what do we write in french.. if you translate it to english like this friend of mine said .. it'll most probably sound like " There was a cat which was wearing a hat and it was really really (tres tres) fat.... " haha.. gosh.. anyways .. dont worry.. honestly.. just do what you can.. ts a language at the end of the day.. at this stage you cant study.. should come within yourself whatever you have .. hmmm..

okkayyy...can you juz tell me ma mistakes...
-
well.. to begin with.. you said "c'est tres mignon et mechant" .. first you are talkign about your brother.. you cant use the term "it" .. see it doesn make sense in english even .. so u should use "he is" instead.. which is il est tres mignon et mechant.. secondly.. your grammar .. il a des cheveux noirs, des yeux marron " umm.. you should use the term "les" instead of des.. and yeah you cant say "J'aime beaucoup.." if you wanna say you love your brother should say.. something like "J'adore mon frere beaucoup.."
hmm guess thats it for now.. was few more.. but tehse were the msot distinct.. have to go study physics actually.. hehe.. but inshaAllah ill post few essay stuff when i can soon. till then Take care n dont worry
-
J'ai quelque reponses qui sont approprie. j'espere que ces vous aident (i dunno know to put the accents using r keyboard) And yeah lets converse in french so it'll help us improve r grades and we can get r mistakes corrected.
BONNE CHANCE!!!!!!!!

its qui because the la peinture is refering to itself (for its name -that is its "calling itself that")
qui means who thats how u say it since in frnch like everything is Sorta ALIVE. uno the whole ila dn elle thing.

no, i agree you use qui but the sentence needs to be changed slightly. otherwise it doesn't make sense.
la peinture qui s'appelle mona lisa en anglais, ne s'appelle pas mona lisa en francais.

k but i know sumthing
namaskaram (http://www.endamavi.com/images/namaskaram.jpg)
-
i can read, write and understand malayalam very well but speaking.....terrible. Even my mother tongue isn't malayalam.
-
i can't write malayalam, speak malayalam, read malayalam,
mais je peux comprendre un peu...
namaskaram nid404....
-
we all are illiterate ...lol
-
so, how did u guys end up in mumbai? Do u go to the same school or something?
-
i was born in mumubai...lol....
and v go to different schools..
-
1 more thing...
whoever - repped me...tks a lot
PS. Note the sarcasm..
-
it's ok. the whole rep system is down at the moment. my rep has been fluctuating. whenever someone +rep's me, my rep goes down.
-
i know..its frequent..
-
1 more thing...
whoever - repped me...tks a lot
PS. Note the sarcasm..
have u ever visited kerala?
-
but u can actually read and write......that's great......my mom would appreciate that u know, u can read and write malayalam even though u don't live in India. My mother generally shouts at me when i have relatives home from kerala and i speak nonsense.....end up making a fool of myself......become a total laughing-stock :-X
i was born and bought in mumbai and my mom works with adi's mom and that's how we know each other.
and the rep thing's happening with me too.my hard earned reps have gone for a toss. they were 16 day before and today it's 12.(was 13 in the morning)
-
it's 13 again
-
I have some french vocab stuf.....if it helps
-
reading and writing is apparently not good enough, especially with my relatives. whenever i meet my relatives, they'l only talk to me in malayalam, not our mother tongue (tulu). i feel so embarrassed when i talk with them in tuta-phuta malayalam. what language do u speak at home? malayalam, hindi, marathi(since u've lived in mumbai for so long).....
-
et quarante- neuf pour trois cents. je serais une FEP Geek.
a la maison je parle anglais et hindi. je suis mauvais en hindi aussi. alors, j'ai choisi ig pou eviter cette langue.
-
i swear nid...to avoid making a total buffoon of myslef i end up speaking nothing...
i speak mostly hindi and english with my relatives..
but if, with my cousins or nid, .....we speak in total gauti hindi...lol
-
what's gauti hindi? is it bumbaya hindi?
-
i swear nid...to avoid making a total buffoon of myslef i end up speaking nothing...
i speak mostly hindi and english with my relatives..
but if, with my cousins or nid, .....we speak in totally gauti hindi...lol
our gauti hindi totally annoys others. sablongonka deemag ka dahi ho jaata hain na??
-
true...
sabloka bheja ka waaat lag jata hai...lol!!
hilarious!!! ;D ;D
-
what is that supposed to mean?
-
I have some french vocab stuf.....if it helps
thx a lot!! :)
-
i mean...we cook everone's brains...
-
it means it completely kills their brain cells left,right and centre....couldn't think of a better way to make u understand.
-
I have some french vocab stuf.....if it helps
its the DCC book....we got the hard copy from our school
but thanks for the softcopy though...i needed it...
-
i understod the literal meaning (everyone's brain turns to curd) but could not understand the figurative meaning.
-
