Answer to Verb Conjugation Question

I would say that learning the conjugations phonetically in English is not recommended. This will of course hurt your pronunciation of all French words...I recommend you check out this website...so you can hear how the verbs are supposed to be pronounced when you are at home studying.

I know it is hard to get out of that mentality...I have found for me it takes 3 times of learning something until I really understand the concept...i.e. when I learned The Subjunctive.

Bonne Chance!

La première réunion du club français

Bonjour!

We will be meeting THIS Thursday, September 13 @ 2pm in the Davis
Student Lobby (where the coke machines are at).

We plan to move the location to a room or outside later in the
semester, but since this is our first meeting we would like to be as
visible as possible.

At this meeting we will be discussing our plans and ideas for this
year. Please come with your ideas, suggestions and comments for the
French Club. We have not finalized our budget yet so please come and
share your thoughts!

Also there will be plenty of French cookies and chocolates!

Merci!

Tanya and Becky

I have a question!

Why is it more difficult to speak a foreign language than to read, write or listen (hear and understand) a foreign language? And how do you overcome this problem?

I will research this and add the answer to this post...very soon!
