TWINKLE Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 After living in France for 17 years I am fluent in French. However, my english is terrible and when friends visit they have a great laugh at the way I now speak my mother tongue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I like a laugh and a joke every now and again. I've evenbeen known to post the odd one liner here although most people on thisforum are sharper and wittier than I am.Many relative newcomers to life in France are indebted to the knowledgethat people like Clair and Ron Avery (sorry Anna and Suze but I haven'tfollowed your postings so closely) are able to pass on.If you want to start your own amusing/silly thread, as you have done onanother topic, then so be it but please don't hijack (and kill off)threads that others might be interested in.SSDD ?Same S*i* Different Day, to mark yoursecond day on the forum although I suspect you and your friendTWINKLE* have both been around the maypole before.Benjamin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Now... how did I know it would be a nasty comment. If it makes you feel good about yourself Ben thats fine but you should try to have a L&J a bit more often than N&A. TTFN xxxBTW the dictionaries are very useful. Dont think I will ever get above moronic level (with my french speaking that is)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 This is really useful, but I would be really interested if anyone knows of a dictionary I can download onto my Palm - either free or not too expensivethanksLiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Try Ultralingua. I have it on my Palm and it works well.http://www.ultralingua.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Many thanks for the suggestion [:$]Dick - I have got that loaded onto my Palm and seems to work fine.Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Glad you like it.I shouldn't say this - but I have been running the free download for ages and it seems never to run out - possibly it reloads every time I synchronise.I also have the 'big' version on my desktop and laptop. It has proved to be very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
