I don't speak it myself, but I want to learn! I have a theory, its fully testible, and if it works humanity will have discovered a new means for learning, possibly increasing learning speed. However, in order to really test it, I have to get some material translated without knowing it myself fully. If its already committed to memory when I place it on a map I have prepared, there will be no point is seeing if I learned it, cuz I will already know it. The material breaks up into 5 parts, and contains roughly 90% of the lexigraphic langauge in everyday use. Thus, if the words and grammar in this map are learned, one can understand a lot...if I am correct. I am asking anyone with time to spare if they can help me get the material ready, so I can begin testing this theory! It would certainly be cool if the theory is correct, we would have a new way to learn quicker! It would also be so good for the mind and memory...if it is correct, that is. I think it is, some people also think so, others think not, and many don't know what to think...wise. The only way to find out is to finally get to testing. A HUGE THANK YOU TO ANYONE WHO HELPS ME WITH THIS PROJECT! I will return the favor one day!! I will go ahead and post that material now! I used google translate, so I am assuming there are mistakes. The mistakes have to be fixed, if I learn French with mistakes from the beginning, it could be hard later on to break the habit of speaking them. Also, other people are welcome to the map once I have it ready! Would be cool to see others test it too, and it worked over and over again...a fun theory...fully testible...I suppose I ought to write up a formal presentation of my theory...eventually..

Keep in mind a few little steps at a time make the distance, so...to correct even a line or two adds up...so, I am posting just a little at a time so as to not make this appear overwhelming, because it isn't. Patience is a virtue of giants!

I didn't get the idea but I guess you need better translations than google's ones. Good morning. Let us go for a walk and listen to the birds sing. Bonjour. Allons faire un tour et écouter les oiseaux chanter. They like to go surfing. We like to swim in the sea. She likes to lie in the sun. Ils aiment faire du surf. Nous aimons nager dans la mer. Elle aime se coucher au soleil. ( "nous aimons à nager" is actually correct but nobody would say that in France) He likes mountain climbing. I like to explore new places! What is it like? Il aime l'alpinisme. J'aime explorer de nouveaux endroits! Comment est-ce? (correct but "too correct" maybe. We'd say "C'est comment ?" which is an affirmative sentance but spoken like a question) The engineer told the dentist that the toothache caused great pain. That is like mine. L'ingénieur a dit au dentiste que le mal de dents lui causait de grandes souffrances. ****** I don't understand what "like mine" refers to in your sentance, which makes it impossible to translate. The famous Ochestra conducter’s musical symphony sounds like a trip in time. La fameuse symphonie musicale du chef d'orchestre sonne comme un voyage dans le temps. Please stand up and do not jump up. Please go to the left and not to the right. S'il vous plaît levez-vous et ne sautez pas. S'il vous plaît allez à gauche et non à droite. My pencil is broken. In that case, you can use my pen. Its function is important. Mon crayon est cassé. Dans ce cas, vous pouvez utiliser mon stylo. Sa fonction est importante. ("une plume" means a feather) I sing. I sang. I will sing. You played. You are playing. You will play. Je chante. Je chantais. Je vais chanter (imminent) / Je chanterai (like .. one day). Vous avez joué. Vous jouez. Vous allez jouer (imminent) ("vous allez jouer tout à l'heure" = "you'll play in a while") / Vous jouerez ("vous jouerez un jour" = "one day you'll play"). We drank beer. We are drinking coffee. We will drink water. We are drunk. Nous avons bu de la bière. Nous buvons du café. Nous allons boire de l'eau. Nous sommes ivres (formal) / bourrés (informal) It stops. It stopped. It will stop. They dance. They danced. They will dance. Il s'arrête. Il s'est arrêté. Il va s'arrêter / Il s'arrêtera. Ils dansent. Ils ont dansé. Ils vont danser / Ils danseront. when you use "it", there's is no gender, but in french there is ! So if you use "il" you're refering to a dog for example ( un chien ), but you can't be refering to a frog for example ( une grenouille ). The same goes for "they". singular : il (masc) / elle (fem) plural : ils (masc) / elles (fem)
