Hello there, community! It's the first time I got into a language learning community and I'm kinda excited. I'm a Spanish guy who speaks Spanish (duh), English, Interlingua, Italian and Portuguese. I decided to learn French because I have just recently started to study to become a diplomat and French is mandatory. I didn't want to learn another Romance language, but... well, it's required, so I'm still stuck in this branch. I would also like to pass the language test in German, so I could have more options to choose a destination as a diplomat, so German is the next one on the list. I also hope I can meet cool people in here, whose presence will be nourishing not only in linguistic terms. See ya around!

Bonjour à tous, I need some help with my translation of this text. The top is the original and the French at the bottom is what I've changed it to... Can you read this and see if there are any grammar issues/words that are translated wrong? Merci beaucoup! Ashley ANGLAIS: At a loss for words: Jean-Luc Godard’s new movie plays wicked games with subtitles The world’s critics, gathered in Cannes to see Jean-Luc Godard’s latest film last week. Godard’s art of subtitles sent the hordes screaming after three minutes. How dare he? How dare he translate only one word in five? When a character on screen said “L’argent est un bien public”, the English caption on the screen read “money public good”. With never more than three words on screen, widely spaced and sometimes even joined together, no pronouns and no verbs, Godard did what no other film director will ever dream of achieving: say merde to reality. He has just signed his own suicide note with his latest film, aptly named Film Socialisme. By refusing to play the game of subtitles, Godard is making his film unexportable outside the ever-shrinking Francophone world. But even there, his film requires Francophones to have a smattering of German, Italian and Russian as whole scenes in those languages are not translated at all. When Franco-German politician Daniel Cohn Bendit asked Godard two weeks ago about translation, he replied that he didn’t believe in it. It is perhaps no surprise that Godard subverted his subtitles for a film that takes place on one of those anonymous Mediterranean cruises where thousands of people of a dozen different nationalities are forever crossing without meeting. Godard rejects a world seemingly brought together by globalization that has in fact created a new cultural Babel wherein the new lingua franca, English, doesn’t pacify or unify. “Don’t translate, learn languages,” said Godard to Cohn-Bendit. The New Wave enfant terrible may well have a point. Adapted from: Agnès Poirier, Guardian Weekly, 28 May 2010 FRANCAIS: Les mots se manquent : Le nouveau film de Jean-Luc Godard joue des espiègles jeux avec des sous-titres. Les critiques du monde, réunis à Cannes pour voir le dernier film de Jean-Luc Godard la semaine dernière. L’art de Godard de sous-titres envoyé l’essaimage crie après trois minutes. Comment oser-il ? Comment oser-il traduire un seul mot dans cinq ? Quand un personnage dans l’écran dit « L’argent est un bien public », le sous-titre anglais lire « money public good ». Avec ne plus de trois mots jamais dans l’écran, espace largement et parfois lié même, pas de pronoms et pas de verbes, Godard a fait quel aucun autre réalisateur irait rêver accomplir : dire merde à la réalité. Il a signé justement son propre not de suicide avec son dernier film, avec une grande pertinence appelée « Film Socialisme ». En refuserait a joué le jeu de sous-titres, Godard fait son film inexportable à l’extérieur de constante diminution monde francophone. Mais même là, son film exige des francophones d’avoir une poignée de l’allemande, l’italien et le russe car des scènes entières dans les langues ne sont pas traduire du tout. Quand le politicien franco-allemand Daniel Cohn Bendit a demandé de Godard il y a deux semaines sur la traduction, il a répondu qu’il ne croyait pas en elle. Ce n’est peut-être pas de surprise que Godard subverti ses sous-titres pour un film qui se déroule dans une croisière anonyme méditerranéenne où des milliers de gens qui une douzaine nationalités différentes sont toujours croisement sans rencontre. Godard a rejeté un monde apparemment mis en contact par la mondialisation qui a en fait cru une nouvelle culturelle Babel dans quoi la nouvelle lingua franca, anglais, à ne pas faire calmer ou unifier. « À ne pas faire traduire, apprendre des langues » dit Godard à Cohn-Bendit. La Vague Nouvelle enfant terrible c’est peut-être à un point. Adapter de : Agnès Poirier, Guardian Weekly, 28 mai 2010. -
Hello, I currently work in the customer service industry in the UK and come across people from all over the world speaking many different languages. My goal is to learn as many useful sentences in a few of these languages as I can to improve the level of service I give. I feel it is much more personal to be able to make the effort to communicate in their language if they aren't confident with English. That being said, any help, advice, or sentences in your language you feel would be useful in this situation you could give me, I would be most grateful for. Kind Regards. -

Can someone here help me translate a document from english to one of the following languages: arabic, french, russian, chinese and german in order to add subtitles to a video? It's of very high importance, it exposes the CURE of schizophrenia and other important things related to it that no one has ever talked about. Humanity needs this message u r g e n t l y. If two or more people agree on helping me with one language, I can divide the document in two parts and so on. Thank you in advance. -
I am a lower intermediate French learner trying to introduce reading into my program to accelerate my french learning. The problem that I am facing however is that fact that most French books seem to be written in Le Passe Simple which is a tense that is redundant to spoken French. While I appreciate the need to understand this tense eventually to be able to appreciate French in its fullest I am still struggling to fully grasp the spoken tenses and not ready to add an additional (“unnecessary“) tense to my load as well as, more importantly, deprive myself the opportunity to learn the tenses that I really need to learn. So I come here seeking advice on where I can find a selection of books written in “spoken French”. I imagine that I am not alone in this scenario and most beginner or intermediate learners want to focus on the spoken tenses when choosing their reading material. Any advice is appreciated. Merci!

What does "faite" mean? What does "faîte" mean? What is the difference between the two if any? Is there any cultural significance? Does either word have any slang or connotations associated? What does each word make someone feel? Is it just a basic everyday word or is one rarely used or for a special occasion? -

Bonjour à tous! I am finally pursuing my long-held goal of learning French - I can't afford to take classes though so am looking for materials I can use to teach myself. Are there any books/multimedia learning packs that other people have used that they can recommend? I will most likely use this in combination with an app like Duolingo, but I have a background in language learning (a bachelors degree in German and Russian) and know from this that I value resources that also teach grammar rules. An audio element so that I can check my pronunciation is also important. Any tips anyone can offer would be much appreciated! (PS - I live in the UK, so I guess I'm on the lookout for books that will be available to me here!)

Hi Does anyone know of any discord servers for language learning where people actually use the voice chat rooms to speak? I have joined a few but the voicechat features are almost never used. I'm a woman who is learning French, Esperanto and just starting Mandarin. English is my native language. Thanks in advance J

Hello. In the historic French fur trade, the manager of a trading post was often a bourgeois (gentleman and shareholder in the company) Question: Would it be grammatically correct for employees (voyageurs, for example) to address the manager as 'Monsieur Bourgeois'?

Salut! I'm probably more lazy than most, but I've always struggled with remembering vocabulary. I took French in high school and college, and have had an "on and off again" relationship with practicing ever since. There's always so many things I want to do, and French ends up taking a backseat. I'm a developer, so me and a few friends made a free chrome extension to fix this. It immerses you in French or Spanish vocabulary on any website you visit. It's a pretty cool way to pick up new words, and it's really subtle, so you can keep it on for months at a time - and stay up to date with your vocab forever! We'd love it if you gave it a shot and let us know how we could make it even better for language learners Check it out here! www.usefluent.co

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding french relative clauses that I just can't figure out by myself. Here two examples: Ces trois couleurs ce sont celles que l'on retrouve dans le tableau de Delacroix. Elle a été créée après les décolonisations des années 1950 et 1960, comme vous pourrez le voir dans cet extrait vidéo qui raconte l'histoire de la francophonie. Can anyone explain to me 1) whether the article in the highlighted section is obligatory 2)if so, why and when it is obligatory 3) if not, why it is used and what difference it makes compared to leaving it out

Bonjour, I was listening to this cover of Nea's Some Say and half of it is in French. I understand French a little bit, but with songs it's more difficult. I'm especially having trouble with the line following Et j'attendrai, j'attendrai, it's at 1:27. If someone would help me with it I'd be very happy! And if someone transcribed the entire French part that would just be amazing. Merci! https://youtu.be/9WDbtHJqDG8?t=87

Does anyone here know of any resources for learning either Haitian or Louisiana Creole? The two languages are actually quite different, but I'm not sure if there will be sources readily available for learning Haitian Creole, and I am interested in Louisiana Creole, so either would be fine. If possible, I'd much prefer online resources. I have a Linux-based system and can't download many computer programs. Books are also okay, if you can vouch for them; I'm worried about spending too much money (when I don't actually have much money) on a language learning book that turns out to not be very good. Also, I've been wondering: Might it be a good idea, if I'm not able to find resources for Kreyòl immediately, to concentrate on learning French instead? Both Haitian Creole and Louisiana Creole are French-based creole languages, and they actually have some notable similarities and a lot of words that are just slightly different to the French ones. What do you guys think - would that be a legitimate strategy for learning a creole language?

I often have questions about French usage that can't be solved by a dictionary, so I have been relying on Linguee quite a lot. For each word or phrase you can get a long list of real-world usages pulled from the Web. It covers many languages, though I can only vouch for the French content as I haven't used it for any other languages so far. -
