Vraiment, et j'étudiais ce langue pour juste deux ans. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 28/07/2010 07:34:00 PM
I'm fairly wretched with languages; I've just managed to force my way through a few.

For the record, I found L'Étranger fairly boring and only vaguely interesting philosophically. I'm sure most of that has to do with the amount of effort it takes to read the thing.

Heh. Not so many, considering. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 07:16:38 AM 329 Views

Oh come on. L'Etranger is short, and interesting. Legolas - 28/07/2010 10:27:33 AM 651 Views
It's not as short when you read it in a foreign language . *NM* Tim - 28/07/2010 12:18:47 PM 318 Views
True, but it's not too hard French either, as I recall. *NM* Legolas - 28/07/2010 01:10:21 PM 390 Views
Ça, c'est vrai. Mais c'est bien plus difficile que la langue maternelle du lecteur. *NM* Tim - 28/07/2010 03:10:50 PM 419 Views

I still think it's ridiculous to claim you're bad at languages. Legolas - 28/07/2010 07:50:06 PM 738 Views
Bull-headed perserverance isn't the same as skill. Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 09:27:06 PM 619 Views
Eh. Easily learning vocabulary isn't the same as skill, either. Legolas - 28/07/2010 09:46:02 PM 1028 Views

I guess you're an exception to what we were saying about people not knowing their own grammar. Legolas - 02/08/2010 12:29:15 PM 644 Views
