One of the things that helped me a lot during prep year was to read comic books in French, you don’t have to read necessarily ones catered to children and there are many options for it online. Also the drawings actually help you interfere what they’re talking much easier

[myhoneststudyblr]

This is such a good idea!!! I didn’t even think of it because I don’t personally read comic books but I definitely get why it would be useful! I guess the pictures also mean it’s almost similar to children’s books cause they would have pictures to and it helps to fill in the wider context so you can narrow down the word it could be!!!

Rain, tea, research & zoom study session

We do zoom sessions almost every day now, sometimes even for the whole day. When we're not studying, we’re doing chores or one of us is reading and the other watching a movie. It really helps during lockdown.

[jeannielanguage]

Here’s PART 2 of les chiffres: 60~100 + 

The 60’s follow the same pattern seen in 20~59. 

However, 70~99 is a bit different. In standard French there are no separate words for seventy, eighty or ninety like in English (NOTE: some other French speaking nationalities do have separate words).

SEVENTY:

Is counted as sixty + ten (eleven, twelve, thirteen…etc). 

Therefore, soixante + dix = soixante-dix. 

All words after soixante are hyphenated, except 71.   

71 = is sixty and eleven = soixante et onze (similar to vingt et un, trente et un…etc.) 

EIGHTY: 

Has another pattern altogether. Eighty is considered as ‘four twenties’ (20 x 4 = 80). Therefore, it is quatre-vingts. 

It is counted as four-twenties + one (two, three, four etc.)

So, 81 = quatre-vingt-un. Note that there's no and/et, the words are just hyphenated. 

NOTE: from 81~99 the ’s’ in quatre-vingtsdrops off:

82 = quatre-vingt-deux; 83 = quatre-vingt-trois…etc.

NINETY:

Is counted as 'four-twenties plus ten’ (+ eleven, twelve…etc.). So, 90 is quatre-vingt-dix. 

91=quatre-vingt-onze; 92=quatre-vingt-douze…etc.

HUNDREDS:

The word for ’(a) hundred’ = cent. Therefore, 100 = cent.

For all other multiples of 100 (ie. 200, 300 etc.) it becomes cents, with an s. It loses the ’~s’ when other numbers follow. Unlike English, there is no 'and’ between the 'hundred’ and the 'tens’ column. 

E.g. (345) three-hundred and forty-five = trois cent quarante-cinq. 

[jeannielanguage]

Les verbes au passé simple: des verbes réguliers 

The passé simple is a tense that replaces the passé composé in literary writing (articles, books etc.). You will probably not have to conjugate this tense yourself very often, but it is important to recognise it for when you read literature. 

NB: I’ve included “oir/oire” as a category, as this is a common pattern. Same goes for verbs that conjugate to the last letter ‘u’ for the past participle

e.g. connaître –> connu –> connus etc. (follows passé simple pattern for 'oir/oire’)

<<<<<< If I’ve made a mistake, please tell me so I can correct it. Thank you >>>>>>

[jeannielanguage]

Here’s a site that’s pretty in depth for pronunciation; you can press play and listen to the vowels etc. 

[jeannielanguage]

This is le conditionnel présent 

It is formed by using the stem of the verb used in le futur simple (the future) and adding the endings used in the l'imparfait (the imperfect past tense). 

The endings are the same for all verbs!

E.g. 

être → ser~ (le futur simple) → ser + ais, ais, ait etc. → serais

avoir → aur~ (le futur simple) → aur + ais, ais, ait etc. → aurais

So even if the verb is irregular in the future tense, it will form in the same way as other verbs.

NOTE: 

For verbs that end in e + consonne + er ou é + consonne + e

se lever → je me lèverais 

espérer → j'espérerais 

Also note: 

s'appeler → je m'appellerais 

jeter → jetterais

Have I made a mistake? Please let me know :)

Spanish Text Talk Phrases

So, for those of you who don’t know, I went on a search for quite a while for Spanish text talk / internet slang that Spanish-speaking people use. I did get a few responses, but earlier today, I finally really found what I was looking for through a course on Mango Languages. Mango is a fantastic program for anyone looking to start a new language, and it’s free through some libraries. However, not many libraries do offer it, and I only have it because mine does. Having said that, I figured I’d share what I found with all of you! Here you go. 

K? - ¿Qué? (This was adapted in more recent years with the spread of the English language. Typing ‘K?’ simply means “What?”)

K haces? -  ¿Qué haces? (A shorter, more informal way of asking, “What are you doing?”. It’s an equivalent to “Wyd?”)

Kieres? -  ¿Quieres? (Another example of the qu being replaced with a k. You can pretty much do that with any word that starts with qu in Spanish. Simply put, this translates to “You want it?” or “You want one?”)

X k? -  ¿Por qué? (The multiplication symbol, x, is read in Spanish as “por”, as in 5 x 5 is read as “cinco por cinco”. Therefore the x is understood as “por”. The k, as i explained before, is read as “qué”. Put those two together, and you have the Spanish word for “Why?” or the English text talk equivalent “y?”)

X fis - Por fis (A more casual version of “por favor”, which means “please”. This is the Spanish equivalent to “Pls”) 

Ntc - No te creas (Literally translated, this comes out to “don’t believe you”, but it’s understood as “just kidding”. Ntc is the acronym for that and therefore is the Spanish equivalent to “jk”)

Tkm / Tqm - Te quiero mucho (You might see it as tkm or tqm, but either way, they mean the same thing. Literally translated, “te quiero mucho” means “i love you so much”. That said, the English text talk equivalent is “ily” or “ilysm”)

Bb -  Bebé (This simply means “baby” or “babe” and can be used here as a term of endearment. The English equivalent would be something like “bb” or “bby”

Jajaja / jjj - hahaha (This wasn’t part of the course, but I’ve seen it online from Spanish-speaking friends on Facebook, so I figure I’d throw it in there. Congratulations. You now know how to laugh in Spanish.) 

I’ve also seen Spanish-speaking people use English text talk too, though. I was texting someone earlier today, and he used “lol” even though the entire conversation was in Spanish. Just thought I’d let you all know of that too. 

At any rate, I don’t know if or when this will come in handy for anyone, but in case it does, there you have it! And with that, I bid you all goodnight.

[puroespanol]

Too many times the Spanish language is subjected to a barbaric butchering of its beautiful sound and its harmonious structure. Growing up in the United States I would often hear Spanish being spoken by non-Spanish speakers in a mocking, almost dismissive, way. Luckily, nowadays, there seems to be more of a push for truth. This is my contribution towards that truth.

HOW NOT TO SOUND LIKE A GRINGO WHEN SPEAKING SPANISH

1. NO PROBLEMO

No. Sandwiching an English noun between an el and a letter O, does not make it Spanish; nor is it ingenious anymore. Seen it. Heard it. Next.

2. MI CASA ES SU CASA

This one is sweet. It implies that Latino households are warm and hospitable. This is very true, however, Latinos don’t have to say this because it’s implied! The closest I’ve ever heard to this phrase is: Estás en tu casa. For example; if you ask to use the restroom at someone’s home, they might say: Claro, estás en tu casa. This means, “Of course, you’re in your own home.”

3. MUY CALIENTE!

You might say this if the soup burned your tongue, but never is it used to describe someone’s sex appeal. Spanish has a million and one ways of expressing attraction towards someone. Two of the most commonly used phrases are “¡Qué guapo/a!” and “¡Qué chulo/a!” 

4. RAPIDO, RAPIDO! ANDALE, ANDALE! ARRIBA, ARRIBA!

<Sigh> I won’t mention that cartoon mouse as it’s way before the average Tumblr user’s time. However, I have noticed that The Amazing Race contestants love to yell “rapido, rapido!” at taxi drivers from Spanish-speaking countries. I understand where they’re coming from, and I don’t blame them, but this is plain rude. Say this instead: ¿Puede ir un poco más deprisa, por favor?

5. NO COJONES

If you want to tell someone they have no balls, tell them in English! Don’t veil your contempt for someone by misusing the Spanish language. A common way of saying this accurately is: No tienes agallas. It’s strong without being vulgar.

6. COMPRENDE?!

The condescending use of “comprende” when a Spanish speaker does not understand something is the height of humiliation. Try getting some help. If you actually do speak Spanish, there’s another way of saying this: ¿Me hago entender?

7. HASTA LA VISTA

I’ve never heard any Spanish speakers ever say this. Along with adiós, “hasta la vista” is seriously misused and abused. Read my previous post on other ways of saying adiós by clicking <HERE>. 

8. AMIGO

Yes, Spanish-speaking people are friendly, but that does not make them your amigo. Wait for them to call you “mi parce” or “mi compa” before you reciprocate. True amigos don’t call each other amigo.

9. NO BUENO

This popular phrase is incorrect on so many levels. At best, it sounds like a phrase that a Spanish-speaker might put together during early infancy. To learn the different ways to express that something is not good click <HERE>.

Wolves Understand Cause and Effect Better Than Dogs

A good example of the connection between cause and effect, is that an object which contains food produces noise when shaken. The study of an international research team at the Wolf Science Center of the Vetmeduni Vienna shows how animals deal with these rules of the physical world. Based on where dogs and wolves searched for food after receiving some hints about its location, they showed that our domesticated, four-legged companions cannot make the connection between cause and effect, but wolves can. These results indicate that domestication has changed the dogs’ cognitive abilities.

The research is in Scientific Reports. (full open access)
