Vous vous presentar s’il vu plaît?

..well dunno if that made sense at all! haha! It was my answer to the part where we write a sentence in french:

    Ask your friend to introduce the person with her

Took the French test last saturday.. and i was like this the whole time or more than half the time -> and the rest of the time, like this -> with about a couple or two dull moments staring into empty space, pretending to think, like this ->

Although, i have some Positive points too. Here are some easy examples:

Repondez aux questions (15 items)
└> Comment vous appeles-vous?
└> Quelle est votre profession?

= Je m’appelle Velvet Velvetzki
(erm, real name withheld. lol)
= Je suis concepteur indépendant de site web (HA! Yeah right..)

  Negation (10 items)
└> Vous êtes avocat
└> Elle aime le chocolat
= Vous n’tes pas avocat
= Elle n’aime pas le chocolat

The hard parts are (1) fill in the blanks of people engaged in conversations, (2) write the french question that fits, And (3) construct a pharagraph about a person based on the basic details given.

HA! After the test, the gal beside me told me if she made a re-take with the same questions, she doubts if she’ll be able to answer them still. lol.. well i agree that it is indeed not what we all expected. And our prof didnt really concentrate on talking about sentence construction (which she should have, since the test were mostly of that). If i get a “take2″ well, im pretty sure i am not alone. lol.

But hey, fairly worthwhile to learn a bit. At least if i go to some french sites now, i can get what they meant, but not really translate in full tho. Well, what do you expect with mere 40 hours training?

And yeah, as far as i know, its not the test that counts but the process of learning. Fail or not.. it was all fun.

And sheesh.. have no choice now but wait for the results.. Wish me luck!


note: photo above i took just after the test. well, did some picassa editing there. hehe.. but the original pic is at my flickr. (please see sidebar)

About the song.. gonna upload it in a while. maybe after midnight here (when the free hours start. uploads take too long) And dont worry, song is not all french. Stereolab is such a great band… mmm.. right, Moogie? Please visit their Official Website.
