L'Ami d'Anya

[ceebeegee]

Anya avait un ami qui habite en France--it vient de Paris et il s'appelle Arno.  Il visite les Etats-Unis ce semaine et hier, il arrivé a notre apartment et j'ai lui rencontrer.  C'était une chance idéale pour moi de practicer my français conversationale, et j'ai faire mieux que j'ai anticipate.  Et maintenant je voudrais étudier ma français plus beaucoup, alors je puis devenir fluent.  Eh--plus facile, je ne suis pas assez bien être fluent.  Pas maintenant, quand même.  Je suis desolée profondément pour les erreurs!

You know if I just read it, I'm fine, but if I try to TRANSLATE it my brain explodes. Language comprehension is read.

Same with me. It's why I always speak better French when I'm drunk. My head isn't in the way.

ETA: And when I was in high school, when I forced myself NOT to translate, but rather to think in the language, that's when I started really getting somewhere--that's the essential step you take to achieve fluency.

Go for it. Always nice to brush up.

I need to practice my French, too. I only studied for one year in college, and usually get by speaking Spanish with a French accent. (Oddly enough, that usually seems to work.)

We should find a conversational group somewhere.

I can read your entry and understand it perfectly. I am just crap at speaking.
