RE: Tree Tuesday ~ "Si seulement je pouvais parler Francais..." ~
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
First of all, I would like to tell you that I studied French for three years when I was in high school and studied Spain for 1 year when I was in university...... But, that's very long time ago and I forgot them all now! Just only a few words of French that I can recognize; i.e. merci beaucoup (thank you very much), je t'aime ( I love you), comment allez vous (how are you?), eau (water), etc. ;D..... I think, French is one of the most beautiful languages in the World.
Your photos of the reflection of the trees, clouds and sky on the river look like paintings indeed. Excellent artwork with wonderful dream!
The colors of sunlight on the clouds, especially in the last photo, are really gorgeous. Great shot!
I totally agree with you, "we ALL have impressions, concerning the wonders we see around us every day". I love to take photos of everything, especialy nature, around me, too. ;)
That's cool. Though I can related. As I told BL above, I took Spanish long ago. And can't remember much of it. Like you say, hello, goodbye, where's the bathroom. All the small, important stuff. I wish I knew French. It IS such a gorgeous language. But alas, only English. And I'm not always all that great with that ( :
Glad you enjoyed my photos. I see so many fun things on my bike rides. There's ALWAYS something to 'shoot', as you say. It's everywhere. The fascination. Have a nice day, my friend.
Ah! I'm glad to hear that you took Spanish, too. And you are certainly better than me, I cannot even remember these words.... Ha ha! ;D
You are lucky that you use "English" as mother language. This can help you get in touch with many people around the world! Really great......
For me, I'm not good at any languages! That's so sad! ;(
"The fascination".... Right word! I agree.
Have a wonderful night, GFF! ;)
I so wish we were more into other languages in the US. I think since so much of the business and politics of the world are in English, we kind of coast on it. I'd love to really KNOW another language. Whatever it might be. But when young, in general, at least where I grew up, the importance wasn't stressed. It's actaully a bit sad. So many people in other countries know two or more languages. I think @ocrdu knows English better than me. And I've met many folks that know 2 to 5 languages. Amazing.
I think I've asked you this before, but you do so well with English. Do you have to translate all of your English to Thai and back? Or do you do it in English and then 'fix' or 'tweak' it with a translator. Whatever you do, you do it well.
Ah! I also think, people who know several languages are very genius and I always admire them. Yeah! Really amazing, as you said.
With regard to English language, when I was a student, I learned that there are two English types; English style and American style. The English style is more difficult than American style. I think, that's why you think @ocrdu knows English better than you. Am I right?
Um! I think, I know why you asked me several times on my English! It's because my English is odd and not like any other people, right? Ha ha! ;D
Regarding to your questions;
"Do you have to translate all of your English to Thai and back?" Sometimes!
"Do you do it in English and then "fix" it with a translator?" Ah! Yes, you have good guess. Yes, I do like this on my articles or some long comments, like this one! I think in English and write in English first and then translate it into Thai to make sure whether it's okay or not. I know that my English is not good but I'm very glad every time you or other Steemian friends understand me and we can talk together happily... That's really great for me.
I sincerely thanks for your kind words, "Whatever you do, you do it well". This can encourage me very much. YOU ARE MY GOOD FRIEND FOREVER.... ;))))
You may have a point. Though I couldn't explain it as well as ocrdu. Then again, if you have to study it, you know the rules. If you just lived it forever and a day, you don't know WHY the X, Y, and Z of it are correct, it just IS. And using it for writing stories and posts, helps to solidify the correctness. A little bit.
You do remarkably well on here, and I have noticed your English has gotten much better over time. (Not that it was ever bad, but has gotten to flow much much more in time.) It is NOT odd. I cannot even fathom what my Thai would look like. Goodness gracious, as my GM used to say. But congratulations on a LOT of work getting to where you are in English. I can't imagine ever doing such things. I think maybe I am inherently lazy. * Large Sigh.* Yes, Good Friends Forever, and onwards, into the Steem. I SO hope this site stays onboard. I love it here. (Though I would get more DONE, if I didn't have it, but wouldn't want it any other way.) I HAVE thought about making a separate email address on Gmail and giving it to all my SteemPeeps, so we can stay in contact, if the site ever goes down. Think I shall get on that, one day soon. Cheers to a wonderful night my friend.
Yeah! I absolutely agree with you, "using it for writing stories and posts, helps to solidify the correctness". I learned new things from you every day. Thanks so much.
Again, I'm very happy to hear that you have noticed my English has gotten much better over time. Ah! I can say that you are among the ones who help me on this.... Many thanks!!
I SO hope this site stays onboard, too. And I love it and our friends here, too..... Um! Good idea to make a separate email address on Gmail and give it to all our SteemPeeps, so we can stay in contact, I agree. In the meantime, I still believe in Steemit and I think, this site will go to the moon soon....
Have a sweet dream, GFF! ;)
