Le francais est la langue de l'amour.
L'anglais est la langue des affaires.
Le latin est la langue de l'Eglise.


French is the language of love.
English is the language of business.
Latin is the language of the Church.


Not sure what language Polish falls under?

"Je suis desoler."


Je regrette = I regret
Je suis desoler = I am sorry
Also, desoler essentially = navrer = sorry, although 'desoler' is more commonly used.

:nerd:

(PS: 'nerd' = 'tronge')

Banyo like baño? Where's the bathroom (at least in high school French) is "Où est la toilette?" Banana is banane.


I had four years of French, and one year of Russian (a Slavic language closely related to Polish). They sound absolutely nothing alike. In French, you don't pronounce half the letters. In Russian, you choke yourself trying to say all of the letters.

Just finished a particularly-exhausting semester filled with about 75 pages worth of research papers, 20 pages worth of in-class papers, tons of other tests and papers. I had 3 deaths in the family and I lost my job.

Woo!

But I am done with all of that and eagerly anticipating a summer of classes, pool-side margaritas, and reading.

..still, REALLY tired.

Ou est la toilette? = Where is the toilet
Ou est la salle de bain = where is the bathroom

Although 'ou est la toilette' is often used as an expressing meaning 'ou est la salle de bain', the later, I believe, is the correct expression/translation.

La langue prend racine directement de nos penser. Si nous disons 'ou est la toilette' nous cerchons une fonction biologizue commune a la majoriter d'entre nous. Si nous cherchons la salle des bains, nous cherchons a la fois la possibiliter d'une fonction biologique, mais aussi nous recherchons la fonction de se laver.
