Parlay vous a hama hama is the pickup line I used as a teenager

Finally, a Frenchman that speaks my language!!

Ça c'est bon Mesh! Je suis et swavay and deboner de tant de facons
 

Heheheheh, bayoubill said deboner...

Ciao tutti ( bon j'avoue ça commence mal mais :" salut tout le monde" c'est un peu lourd alors je préfère éviter ..)
C'est cool de vous voir vous amuser avec une langue que je connais pas trop mal...
Bon d'après moi le plus facile pour apprendre c'est d'avoir des parents francophones ,mais comme personne n'est parfait ,si c'est pas le cas ,le mieux c'est d'avoir une copine ou un copain francais quand on est ado...
Et si c'est toujours pas le cas ,là ça se gâte .....
Mais tout n'est pas perdu,comme c'est un forum de musiciens,les chansons sont un super moyen d'apprendre une langue, trouvez des chansons françaises qui vous plaisent ( les miennes sont super 😇😇), désolé ,c'était trop facile..) et apprenez les.
Personnellement ,c'est beaucoup comme ça que j'ai appris l'anglais .
Bon je traduirais pas ce post*
* I won't translate all that bull#*"..
Cheers.

Ok,ok as far as everybody asks for it,I will make an attempt to translate my super post...
( yes I have time to loose...)
Ciao tutti ( I admit things are going wrong way at start but" hello everybody" is somewhat "tacky" ( google) so I will avoid it)
Cool to see you muse around with a language I know a little bit.
For me easiest way to learn french is to have french speaking parents,but as far as nobody is perfect,then the best thing is to have ( or have had, depending on the age) a french girl or boyfriend in the teenage years..
If it is still not the case then things are getting worse ....but everything is not lost yet.
As far as it is a musicians forum,songs are a great way to discover a language. Find french songs you like( mine are top notch,sorry,sorry,it was too easy) and learn them.
Personally I learned english( american) mainly this way.
I won't translate that post.
Amicalement.

Here's a hint. Get a long list of false cognates and learn them. After that, your guesses about French words will be more reliable. Here are some examples:
 
"Chair" in French means "flesh" in English.
"Flèche" means "arrow."
"Actuel" means "current."
 
As far as pronunciation, most methods and teachers teach an artificial version of the pronunciation, which is really different from how French people really talk. If they're saying "Je ne sais pas" in four syllables, you'll have a hard time when you hear it in two syllables. (Same is true for English teaching BTW.)

That's why sites like FluentU are so helpful in learning a language. It features YouTube videos in the language you're learning, with interactive subtitles added. So you can watch things like commercials and news reports and read a translation. Biggest problem is learning in the classroom and feeling totally lost as soon as you hear a native speak. I was lucky to have spent some time in France as a kid though and picked up the general flow and pronunciation of the language, as well as many words that I never even saw the spelling of until years later.

Ci tu habitez en France je pense que votre Francais va etre meilleur de le plupart de les personne ici... comme moi.
 
Je suis "Francais" mais habitez dans l'Ontario pour toute mon vis... alors je parle "Franglais".
 
Et c'est le francais Canadien aussi. C'est un petit peut, comment vous dit "rednecky".
 
Salud.
 
;-)

Le (la?) chose qui est le plus dificile en Francais est toute les mot qui est feminin ou masculin.
 
On ne fait pas ca en Anglais.

Exactement! Quand je ne voulais pas répondre à une femme irrate je parle de hama hama vued je dirais Ne parle pas anglais
Je SUIS bayoubill

I think I'm going to start reading billy's posts with a thiiiiiiick French/Cajun accent.
 
Would this be accurate Billy? I mean it would make sense whut wiff the "bayou" thing but I luuuurve that Cajun drawl.
 
In a totally manly and platonic way of course.
