Cunning Linguists Languages and their use. What languages do you speak and why? What do words really mean? Can you say things in one language that you can't say in another? Should there be a national language? How many languages should a person know and what are they?

Default Bonjour, je m'appelle Miks.

Je suis 15 ans, et j'apprends le francais. Je parle anglaise, russe, letton, et un peu de francais. Volonté vous m'aidez avec quelques sites Web ou n'importe quel matériel de étude ... ehm, well, fuck it. First two sentences were mine, the third one I used an online translator for.
Anyway... Could you guys maybe help me out with some material that might not be in the language resource thread? Any general comments about French? Anything I should focus on? Thanks. I really like French, I mean, even if some haggard drunk were speaking it I'd think it was beautiful. So yeah... Thanks in advance, I guess.

S'il vous plait, montrez-moi quelques sites ou des materiaux qui peuvent m'aider avec la langue francaise.*

That should keep you occupied for a while. After that, I'd recommend:

New Arrivals aren't allowed to post. Don't do it again, or you're banned.

And as for accents: I changed some of my computer settings to Cyrillic, so the accent codes no longer work.

www.wordreference.com

Very useful resource with the best online French-English dictionary and lots of language students from around the world in its forums (which are automatically searched for relevant threads when you look up a word).

Elide words beginning with a vowel after "de": thus "d'étude" not "de étude".

Get MS word's French language dictionary (costs money) or Open Office's free French dictionary (just as good and costs nothing). It will spellcheck what you're writing meaning you avoid lots of petites erreurs.

Bonne chance - French is worth studying if you have the dedication and interest. If not, just live in France and you'll pick it up naturally.
