BelgianBoy Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Says Brink15: I can understand teaching them Thai, but why waste time on such a quaint little language like French? Brinkie, Well I took French as an example only, just to show that the more languages one knows, the better education.... Something that passed you obviously as you dont speak French :neener: Salutations cordiales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brink15 Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Je etudie Francais quand j'etais dans l'ecole. Heureusement j'ai gere pour oublier presque il tous S'il vous plait pardonner ma mauvaise grammaire. Cet a ete des annees. Damn, I couldn't get any of the accent marks to work. Every time I tried to continue and post my reply the accent marks get converted into gibberish. Does anyone know a way around that? Anyway, It's not like I'm going to make a habit of posting in French. :neener: Salutations a vous mon ami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from that thank you for the lesson. Now I'll return to speaking English and Thai with the odd bit of Spanish and retire French to the rarely used part of my brain where it resides.

Brink15 Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Funnily enough although my grandmother's family was Dutch I never learned any of that language. It probably has to do with their assimilation into Canada. Ah well, maybe I'll learn a few words if I ever get to Samui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Jing Joe 1 year and 5 months - understands both Thai and English instructions quite well. Speaks certain Tahi and Lao word, and others are English - seems to understand the difference JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaad Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 I'd love to empty my sleeve as well, but not sure that would do any good. Brink15, you'll be in good hands in Samui, I suspect Limbo is qualified teacher. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
