French? I don't suppose you mean Art?

And yeah, some uses of sarcasm on the internet can make you sound like a complete gimp, for example, saying "no" like you would sarcastically is baed on the internet...

Unfortunately I meant French.

What time is it ? It's time for me to describe to you guys how French class works in France or French Polynesia (I'll sum it up quickly)

So from 1st grade up to 5th grade it's basically what those who take French as a second language do : basic grammar, vocabulary, orthography.
From 6th up to 9th : it's you explore further all the rules and you start viewing the different writing style (fantasy, realism) and what's the difference between a novel, a short story, a poem.
From 10th up to 11th : french turns into a real literature class...so basically you learn all the different type of writing styles and you start writing pages and pages about a 10 lines poem about why we can say that it's lyrical and defining what style it belongs to...you must also do the same thing but with paintings (ie : we had to completely explain the Liberty Leading the People ...).

At the end of the 11th grade you have the French baccalauréat : it's an exam where you have different texts and you must answer different questions. Then in the second part you have the choice to :
- write a commentary on those texts to answer a question
- write an essay with the help of those texts to answer a question
- or create a texts by following the instructions (ie : write a lampoon).

The reason that the French bac is in 11th grade is to relieve us of one exam in the 12th grade where we'll have all the other tests...

After 11th grade, French is replaced by Philosophy.

And detecting sarcasm on the net can be hard because some people are so dumb that you think that they are sarcastic xD.

Chibi Gundams shall now hijack this thread.

The whole thing took... uh, 4 hours to draw (I think I posted a sketch of this thing earlier on) and 6 hours to digitally ink/color.

Yes it is small. But not postage stamp small. More Like SD Card type small.

Pretty good drawing.

Almost time for my meeting with my group. Time to see how little work they have put into our exercise...

Well, in the 11th grade we pass the French bac, so afterwards we don't need french class anymore. And since we had 2 or 8 of french (depending of your specialty) they replace it with philosophy...

I don't need english class...I've been speaking english since I'm a child and as time went by, I became more and more good at it. So by the age of 11, I was bilingual ^^. So now, when I'm in english class, I sit down and wait for the others to answer the teacher's questions...and if takes too long (or if I'm bored (happens really often)), I answer everything xD.

Unfortunately my spanish level, is not that good...I manage to get around 15/20, but that's because it's so easy...basically it's what 8-9 year old children in Spain do....

Taurucis · Sep 23, 2008, 01:51 AM // 01:51

My parents made me learn Chinese since I was 4 -_- It's been, I dunno, 2 or 3 years (???) since I quit and I don't remember much of anything.

Anyhow, I've been teaching myself Japanese. Anime ftw.

Slayer is going to quote you and tell you how much 360 sucks, and how awesome PS3 is.

RedStar · Sep 23, 2008, 05:01 AM // 05:01

Watching so many manga, listening to so many songs sung in Japanese gave me some japanese voc, but writing it in kanji is too complicated xD.

Arky, unless the girl is really dumb or really in love with you, she's going to slap you xD. You'll be amazed at some girl's strength lol.
