The French Thread!

[Lady Ashenwyte]

I think we all need a thread where we can share what we know of the French language. 

I'm doing passé composé at the moment, so here's a little video.

As a music lover myself, I would love to build my own playlists in different languages, so recommendations are welcome.

Some of my favourite songs in French so far are:
Marie Myriam - L'ouiseau et l'enfant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgMlZS4NsEs
Anne-Marie David - Tu te reconnaîtras https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i9Z9cN7Npk
Gerard Lenorman - Le petit prince https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hut4-AinPj4&index=17&list=PLv9GxHnjy2Jbnsvp-sPLqck7f6q3ptSDT
Ofra Haza - Nous n'irons plus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygg0IWGOdS0

Here I lie, sad and not bilingual. 

[Groddil]

Here I lie, sad and with only a limited understanding of Japanese. 

[Leatho Shellhound]

The only thing I remember from French class was

vous êtes sur le plancher..... you are on the floor

Which is not helpful at all, so yeah

[Ashleg]

All I can say is "Bonjour".

[Leatho Shellhound]

At least that is usefull

[Aimless Gallivanter]

Oui Oui baguette eiffel tower

[Leatho Shellhound]

Translation?

[Dotti Dillworthy]

Culottes courtes, genoux blesses
On n'avait pas dix ans
Les uns des uns, deja on sait
Qu'un jour on sera grand

[Ashleg]

Google Translate will be my friend. Maybe.

[Leatho Shellhound]

That could be dangerous... yeah, I use it to....

[Dotti Dillworthy]

Google Translate will be my friend. Maybe.

Don't forget to mention the online phrasebooks and dictionaries.

[Jetthebinturong]

I could probably translate some stuff, as I took French for a long time, but I don't know if I'd be able to just write in it anymore.

Vous êtes is plural, though.
