Thx for the suggestion! We'll add it in an extra lesson for next year 2009! Not too far from now! Does anyone text? Who was the last person you text to? Ever got an unpleasant message? ads, plane cancellation maybe? Hi again Careyxxx

It looks interesting and easy to learn. Maybe if you people are still looking for even more things to add to this site, maybe we could have an SMS lesson based your actual conversations. We would learn French that is conversational and popular with young people. Take for example Christophe's lesson about inviting friends over for crepes, the lesson could be a dialogue in SMS asking a friend if he wants to hang out and have crepes at Christophe's place. The friend could ask what time and if he has to bring anything. Imagine how much French we could learn and imagine how fast. In the PDF you could have 3 columns with French SMS in the first column, standard French in the 2nd column, and English in the 3rd column. Thanks for the explanation about French SMS.

En France on envoie des SMS (ou textos) mais pas autant que nos amis japonais :grin: Pour ce qui est des accents, avec un téléphone acheté en France, il est très facile d'écrire en Francais mais il faut savoir qu'un nouveau langage s'est crée, le language SMS, utilisant un système d'abréviation ou d'écriture phonétique pour raccourcir les mots et pour .. aller plus vite ! Cependant, à force de prendre l'habitude de l'écriture SMS, on en perd son français ! donc les jeunes ont tendance a ne plus savoir orthographier les mots et font d'énormes fautes de grammaire. Exemples de mots en langage SMS: jamé = jamais (never) koi 2 9 ? = Quoi de neuf ? (What's new? What's up?) slt = salut (Hi !? Oui ! j’arrive !!!

The average age is around 30 or even lower! However I don't text :cry: but I IM, and do not use French accents (my key board doesn't have them and it would be too long to use the short cut keys....it would take me a century to say hello....) Céline help! Hi Careyxxx

Do young French people send text messages with accent marks? How difficult is it?

Le plus moins chère destination de Taiwan était Hong Kong. Quand je suis rentré au mon pays cettes deux fois, j'ai fait des escales en avion au Japon. Les magasins de souvenirs dans les aeroports au Japon sont très bons. I made my own artwork of the Hawaiian Airlines logo and had it engraved onto a metal keychain. Since the keychain is so small, I probably can't get a good picture of it and make my avatar out of it. I guess I could make an avatar out of a picture of my artwork of the Hawaiian Airlines logo, but I would have to figure out how to change avatars for this site.

I like to shop in the small family food store place. I'm a fervent of local economy support. Of course I like to spear my wallet and my taste buds too. So to satisfy both of them I also go shopping in markets where I can get more "European" produces & products... ...comme la moutarde, le pain, le fromage, le vin et le chocolat! Les 4 délicatesses que j'apprécie le plus! Hi Careyxx

I dont know the Hawaiian Airline logo but your story reminds me the time I was working for Airbus. After lunch at the cafeteria, I was passing by the shop and I wanted to buy some airplane scale models. I never did but some of them were really nice with the colours of the airline company...I loved the Jamaica one ! Careyxx, did you travel a lot ?
