What language should I learn, French or Spanish?
January 31, 2009 by admin · 4 Comments
I am already bilingual and I want to be trilingual. I live in southern California but I am going to college on the East Coast and plan to study science. Would it be better to learn Spanish (because it is becoming more and more necessary in the US) or French (because I might use it in my career later on — they speak French in Europe and at CERN)?
both are latin languages, so a bit similar,

January 31, 2009 by admin · 11 Comments
I am a beginner in French and am relocating over there
I need to learn the language VERY quickly and I will be attending language school
What is best part time job ( i will do anything ) I could do that would allow me to learn the language quickly and more importantly I could get fairly easily no speaking the language
Please no McDonalds answers please THANKS
It depends on what part of France you will be relocating to!
If you are going to be in Paris or one of the larger cities, there are many opportunities for you. I agree that the best jobs to learn French are the ones exposing you to the public like Tourist guides or restaurants. There are many very good language schools and many English speaking people in France so you won't be lost. Contrary to what you may have heard, the French won't be hostile to you if they see that you are trying to learn the Language. Like here in the US, and most Countries,people get offended when foreigners EXPECT that you should speak their language but make no efforts to learn your language in your Country.

i have books on french but i find difficulty learning because of spelling and pronunciation. how do i learn throught the net?
It would be tough, it is easier when you can hear how words are pronounced. You can buy great CD sets at bookstores and alot of office supply places.

Should I learn French words with or without articles?
January 29, 2009 by admin · 6 Comments
I’ve just started to learn French and I’m wondering whether I should or shouldnt learn the words with articles (for example le detective or just detective). Thanks for your help!
By the way, do you know any interesting websites that could help me to start?
I would definitely say "with".
It's easier to start like that, you'll make fewer mistakes. Plus it affects adjectives, so basically if you make one mistake with the gender you can actually end up making several more!
The only time I would say you could neglect it and MAYBE get away with it is if you are speaking, as even natives sometimes make mistakes here. Obviously this isn't an excuse to not learn them, thats not what I'm saying.
Once you get to a fairly high standard you will need to learn them less and it will become more obvious due to how the word sounds, and what it looks like written down. For example, you will start be able to fill in gaps such as ____ beau garçon, ____ petits enfants, ______mère de Sophie etc. to give you some easy examples.
When you get good you can learn some 'rules', i.e. MOST words ending in e, ion, are feminine.
This is only when you have a good grasp of French though, its better to start out with the basics and there are ALWAYS exceptions to the rules where the French language is concerned!!
Good luck.
Jeez people – I wish you'd read my answer before leaving a negative rating…I challenge you to point out a good reason for the thumbs down! What of the above isn't true?

Learn Italian And Its Origin
January 28, 2009 by admin · 9 Comments
The Italian language has developed from its ancestor, Latin, during the 13th and 14th century. Though Italian shares about 85% of similarities to the Spanish and French languages, it is still easier to pronounce. Each word is pronounced exactly as how it is spelled.
However, the Italian language has many sub categories and these are called the Italian dialects. Each town in Italy has different Italian language but the good thing about it is that the Modern Italian language has spread to countries like Somalia. A misunderstanding often happens between an Italian speaking person (not a pure Italian) and an Italian native. This is because the Italian native may have been born in a different district in Italy and the language he could be using is not the standard Italian language but one of the Italian dialects from towns that lie on the outskirt of Italy.
There is still a chance to learn the standard Italian language easy and fast. By using very simple memorization technique, a person can master Italian words even if it just takes a 10 to 15 minute session each day. Below is an example.
The pink ballerina elephant leads the dance and closes the show and receives a whale of applause from the elephant audience.
This method is called Link-Word. This is a memorization technique use to enhance a person’s memory. The idea is to link all the Italian word and its English meaning in one absurd story. Only that the Italian word is replaced by another English word that sounds much like the Italian term.
Italian = Balena
English word used = ballerina
English translation = whale
What’s good about this technique is that it can be used by anyone, of any age. It is a brain exercise which is safe for anybody to try. And it’s all natural too.

French Canadian Malajube have been flying through the indie scene at the speed of a rabbit…on speed! They learned to speak English by translating their favorite American songs and they only sing in French, in hopes that their fans will do the same to learn their “exotic” language.
