• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I am taking French in school. I have taken a real interest in the language and would like to become fluent. I have heard that the best way to learn a language is to become surrounded by it, so that you are forced to use it.

So, since there are no french speakers nearby, I will be doing my immersion online.

I will be trying, with my VERY limited French to converse with you. I hope that I will be able to pick it up as I go along. If I make a mistake, PLEASE correct me. It is the only way I learn.

In Christ!

pour l'immersion c'est toujours mieux de la faire en vrai... tout simplement parce que là, tu pratiques, certes, mais tu n'est pas du tout immergé (d'un moment à l'autre quelqu'un va t'aborder en anglais, et tu lui répondra en anglais).
L'immersion, c'est se retrouver le seul à parler anglais au milieu d'un tas de français (qui si possible ne parlent pas anglais).

Mais c'est sûr que tu vas sûrement progresser si tu parles beaucoup avec nous. :) bon courage !

Ha, ha. What a perfect example of how far I have to go. I can understand very little of your post.

But thanks for responding in French, it only helps me, by forcing me to pick it apart. I will be looking at that message for a few more minutes now lol.
