You know, that post count hasn't moved all day...

It seems like you've failed to pwn him.

We'll see sometime this day, or tomorrow.

In the meantime, I pwned you!

For the win!

Maybe we should start a thread for folks that wish to learn the, indeed beautiful, French language a little. Il y a peuple de France ici et autres qui connaître le langue. Mais comment? How to make it appealing for folks to post? No idea.

(maybe trying to translate, sentence by sentence, a short fairy tail or a fable (by J. de la Fontaine) from French to English, for instance)(maybe Lemon, Zena, Sallamandrina, others could help here a bit, correcting stuff)

Peut être, far fetched.

I'm afraid it might be a bit one-sided. While my translation skills are getting better, I make lots of spelling / grammar mistakes and it would likely get tedious for others to be constantly correcting me.

I'm now reading "Around the World in 80 Days" as a French e-Book and that is helping me a lot. (I have some software that helps me to translate / understand the words).

Tallyman, that's actually great to hear. I myself am trying to learn other languages so I can take advantage of better opportunities worth of my current job. Keep it up!

(I am serious at this point, and have no intention to pwn.)

Good idea to read that book (a book in French) as an e-Book. Constantly looking in a dictionairy isn't motivating, I could imagine.

And yeah, the thread probably wouldn't work. Shame, but reading an e-book in combination with translation software is a good hint. Might start doing that soon.

Till then, I'll try winning here a bit.

See.

Okay with what?

- With me being the pwnerer?
