For those of you who speak French, fluently or not, there are a few tips in this article that could be fun to learn. http://www.thelocal.fr/20151027/11-s...rench-language .
I'd love to read an article like that for English learners!
Bon aprèm !

I've never said 'Champ' in my life, I can't decipher SMS language - or hardly, and I say 'septante-trois' which is quite normal instead of 'soixante-treize'.

Du coup, tu le sens comment coco ? suis ouf ?

But yes, fun ;-)

cocofromdijon

Non tu n'es pas ouf Whatello, je ne suis pas fan du langage SMS non plus et je ne bois du "Champ" que très rarement (but I can hear it from time to time). Septante-trois is typically Swiss or Belgian, I always say soixante-treize.

How is "champ" pronounced; in an anglicized form, with the pronunciation of the "m" and "p"?

StCirq

Dingue!

I'm still learning SMS language. Was totally stymied yesterday to get a text asking "T'y vas kand?" Ohhhhhh....quand! And it took me a few thinks at first to figure out stp and rdv.

Michael

<i>T'y vas kand?</i>

That's straight out of Queneau. You might want to read <u>Zazie dans le métro</u>.

StCirq

I'll check it out, Michael. Thanks.

Je suis devant mon ordi depuis trois plombes.

>How is "champ" pronounced< Say "champignon"(mushroom) and keep the first half saying the p at the end.

cocofromdijon

>Je suis devant mon ordi depuis trois plombes.< moi idem , je devrais m'arracher de là ou je vais prendre racine.

StCirq

<<je vais prendre racine.>> Now there's an idiom I had no idea was the same as in English!

Zazie is hilarious. Thanks, Michael. We'll rent it sometime soon.

merci beaucoup pour le link a cet article intéressant.

I got it all except <<je vais prendre racine.>> Now there's an idiom I had no idea was the same as in English!

Which idiom is it the same as????

cocofromdijon

To take root?

StCirq

I've got to get away from here (the computer) or I'm going to take root.

Michael

not the movie, the book, because of its spelling.

StCirq

Ah....duh, that makes sense. I'll get it. Merci.

T'as pris racine, vieille branche ? Ou t'attends la chute des feuilles ?

Hey coco,

Good to hear from you.

cocofromdijon

Bonsoir Ira, hope you're well and still travel around the world with your Lady Wife. In 2007 we met in Dijon and when I watch the video I can see that many changes occured. Hope you'll come back some day to see them.
