I laughed

It was ****ing hilarious. We were in Cambridge at the time, looking at the prospectus for 2013 that we'd just taken, and he was like "oh cool Chemical Engineering". We talked about something else for a few minutes, and then I brought it up again. He was like: "Wait Cambridge do Chemical Engineering? Cool!"

Ciao a tutti :biggrin:

long time no see!

I'm annoyed * puisque ma professeure de Français * said we were going to do a French speaking assessment, which is * il giovedi prossimo per gli genti qui hanno avuto un esame di Italiano ieri. Poi, oggi * she said we would have a written assessment * il mercoledi *, so we have a choice of which to submit! But the formats for writing and speaking are totally different, and I'm not learning both at the same time. I'm just going to write down exactly what I'm doing for my speaking and then submit the speaking. Therefore the writing is pointless and a waste of lesson time. * Mais, c'est la vie :wink:

Anyway, does anyone do an A-Level language here? (probably, since it's a language-y thread and all that) Could you tell me what it's like? Because I'm the only one in my year who wants to do Italian A-Level so I might have to start it next year when I'm only in Year 11 :tongue:

Hey come on now, don't be unreasonable. I can't do basic mental arithmetic :mmm:

I need a calculator to add up lots of small numbers (1+3+1+2+1+1... - that's pretty easy but a longer list and I crumble) :lol:

Does anyone know what the 'Hugo' books/CDs are like for languages? Especially 'French in three months'?

I presume you don't mean Victor Hugo because I imagine you might kill yourself trying to read that while learning French :mmm:

Sim, e eu acho e você quer dizer 'que também estuda português' (it flows better this way :wink:

)

I'm not sure about people from Portugal, but in Brazil we don't tend to use the word 'the', like in French you have 'le' and 'la'

I've always been fascinated by Portuguese, as I learn Spanish. Is it difficult to learn Portuguese if I learn Spanish?
