Practising My French

Je t'aime...M'aimes-tu aussi?

It's been a few years since I took French lessons...

French

A colleague teased me today when I said 'Je ne comprends pas' with a Hokkien accent. (Btw, Hokkien is a local dialect which is similar to Taiwanese.) :(

French 法文

Conversational French has a 'musical flow' - as I call it - and so I find it tough to speak in French, as I am so used to speaking in a flat tone. Furthermore, it seems to me that certain words have a nasal sound and that makes it even more challenging to speak in French. Nonetheless, I am confident that I should be able to overcome these obstacles in time to come. 我喜欢挑战自己的极限,所以我会继续加油的!

法语有我所谓的音乐调子,因此我觉得讲法语相当困难,尤其是因为我已经习惯了讲话时是平调的。此外,我觉得某些字是得用鼻音的,所以讲法语就更加困难了。不过尽管如此,我有信心我一定可以克服这些障碍的。I enjoy challenging myself and so I will definitely persevere!

The Beauty of Singlish

When I have to consciously speak proper English at work, it kind of makes me miss those days when I could speak Singlish freely at work. Singlish is my preferred conversational language because it has a friendly feel to it. Moreover, it also helps in bonding. Hmmm...

The Beauty of Singlish

Singlish is the Singaporean version of the English Language. Personally, I think it has a certain beauty to it. Its beauty lies in its friendly tone. By adding words such as 'lor' and 'leh' at the end of some sentences make conversations sound more friendly. Even if other Singaporeans do not agree, at least that's how I feel about Singlish. Thus, I am all for the use of Singlish as a conversational language.
