Bon soirée mes petits choux!! Ça va? Bonne.
So...yes. In my previous post (Friday Favourites #2) I mentioned that I found an old exercise book of mine from school and I thought "hey, why don't I share with the people of interwebs my 12/13 year old brain in French mode."
My teacher at the time was called Madame Small (later known as Frau Small as she took me for GCSE German) and she was the best teacher I ever had, purely because she actually had a sense of humour (which is a rare trait in many teachers I have known). This will become clear in some of the examples I will give.
On a side note, I actually made her laugh in my practice GSCE German Oral exam by saying "Mein Vater ist sehr komish und er kann nicht singen." (My father is very weird and he can't sing). Yup. Even as a 16 year old I was trying to be hilarious.
ANYWAYZ. Back to le Français.
[En Classe - in class]
Je dois = I must
............me laver les cheveux - wash your hair
............promener le chien/le éléphant - walk the dog/elephant
............manger mon chien - eat my dog
............aller a la piscine - go swimming
Je suis désolée mais je ne peux pas parce que je dois laver le chien - I'm sorry but I can't because I have to wash the dog.
ressemble à = looks like
Mon père ressemble à un arbre - my father looks like a tree
Ma copine ressemble à Britney Spiers - my friend looks like Britney Spiers
Ma mère ressemble à un lit - my mother looks like a bed
Using the future tense with "aller"
aller = to go
J'ai vais = I go/I will
Tu vas = You go/You will
And now, we get to the best bit. The following came from my own brain (which was clearly going through it's "soooooooooo random!!!" phase). We had to do horoscopes to learn this particular bit of grammar.
Note: I used Google Translate to remind myself of what I was trying to say in English, and it became clear that this was never marked because some don't make much sense.
