It said: Vous - You Etes - Are un- a grenouille - Frog Quebecois - Well Quebecois is the French spoken in Canada.
Adjectives(unless describing beauty, age, goodness, or size for the most part) follow the noun they are describing

No, not -that-. I can still translate that one (I'm not so far gone!). I meant the one about the tires.

It not that it is hard to translate. It just has a lot of words that Americans have the worse time pronouncing.

Nooo, silly. A Quebecois is a person from Quebec. Or a Quebecer, although everyone prefers Quebecois since it's more french. =o

i had to present a 60 second oral report for my composition class on why someone should read ____ book.
I chose bloody jack and spent twenty minutes trying to figure out the most accurate way to pronounce the pirate LeFievre's name without murdering the french language. I asked my sister and she said it's easier just to say "lefeeve". (i got the highest marks in the class...)

Oral reports seem like a waste of time to me... I would much rather try to have a conversation with the teacher in the language at the side... not in front of students.

I had a habit of not really preparing my oral reports. So long as I knew what I was talking about, I'd just wing it. This system has yet to fail me.

Oral reports are around for the same reason as manditory speech classes, they want people to get comfortable talking in front of groups of people.

Heheh... as I said before aindel's preparation goes with everything... I never used to prepare at all for speaches, I used to forget and have to get up and make it up on the spot... I always got an A for some reason... I did that all throughout my highschool years...

i had completely forgotten we had to do the assignment. I was up at 5 am that morning trying to figure out how to best word it. Then, fifteen minutes before class, i wrote a little sixety-second speech about it and memorized it.... Although my friends said they honestly tought i was going to faint when my name was called.

I hate talking in front of anybody, mostly nods and angry glares.
