Interview from Montreal

Uh Shavon

Dans les beaux mots de Tina Arena...c'est possible!

Porvavor?

;D

You must teach us some French some time. Guys don't you think that will be fun?

[S.C.]

It says in the beautiful/nice words of Tina Arena, it's possible. I comprehend French pretty good. I'm not sure I could be an all out French Teacher, but, I have been teaching Mark a few things. I have my keyboard set in English and French. I can switch back and forth with two keystrokes. If you like conjugating verbs, nouns, ect then learning different languages should come fairly easily. I always loved my English classes in school, so, this is just another form of it to me.

[S.C.]

It's also like reading backwards almost. The noun comes before the adjective. Sometimes the adjective does come before the noun depending on the text and how it's supposed to be used in conjunction with the noun. For example: le chapeau vert, the green hat, but, notice how the noun hat, came before the adjective vert, which is green. In English the adjective comes before the noun. It sounds complicated but it's really easy once you get the swing of things.

Hey everyone thanks for the warm welcome, I feel at home already. I'm not a great writer like my brother, but I love music. I love Lara's shows, especially live performansses and Interviews. When my brother download a video, I watch it on weekends, its almost all I watch on weekends. Its stange, when I ask someone if you know Lara Fabian, no one knows. It seems that there's only 2 fans here in South Africa.

Keep well talk to you later

Ps: Hallo boetie, dankie vir verwelkoming.
(it means, hi little brother thanks for the warm welkom.)

Hey sis.

Shavon, I noticed while looking at some of Lara's interviews (where you sometimes have an idea what they are talking about) that the nouns and adjective are switched (much like some of our countries indigenous languages).

Please correct me if I'm wrong, take Je T'aime (lovely song, no stop! come back to the point, sorry for that, Lara distracted me again ;D) which means I Love You. Je means I? And aime means love. But I guess explaining the T' is a bit complicated. Because Vous is French for You, right?

[S.C.]

Je t'aime as we all know means 'I love you'. The t in that is 'tu' means 'you' yes, but, 'tu' is only used for close relationships, friends, family, ect. The 'vous' which means 'you' also is used in more formal terms. It is the plural 'you'. You use it when you are referring to one or more thing/person, to show respect, a person you don't know, ect. So, in the song "Je t'aime" she is saying 'I Love You' to a person she is very close to. Also, the reason the 'u' is not there is because of the vowel 'a' in aime.
