Ooh Ronove is not in the house...so I shall take these kind words as if they're intended for me...Thank you, I'm flattered! :biggrin:

I Ronove, try to inspire as many aspiring linguists as I can. :wink:

Hello. There's one comment on my profile, that you posted last night. Do you mean that one, or a reply to my one?

If you posted again, it's not showing up on my profile.

EDIT: now it is!

I meant your comment in my profile and my comment before was an answer. Nice to see you here. Do you really think that your plan works in an multilingual forum? are you sure there are enough members who speak French and want to help to translate a text? then I will begin with!

Almost everyone here speaks French better than me!

I come here to get help with my French. :smile:

Are you the helper from the German Learners' Society?
I think you and Grizzlybär used to answer some of my very basic questions last year? :redface:

Jetzt kann ich viel besser Deutsch sprechen! Aber mein Grammatik habe ich noch nicht verbessert! haha :cool:

As you may suppose! here is the text which I have found. I would love to understand it. I hope that your French grammar is good enough for translation.

C'est mon ami, Bibi
Quel beau bibifoc
Il est super gentil
Comme un bébé phoque
Quand j'ai besoin de lui
J'appelle Bibifoc
Si son bibeep fait bop
Il fonce droit dans la vie

{Refrain:}
Bibi bibi bibi bibifoc
Dans l'Antarctique
T'es l'roi des phoques
Bibi bibi bibi bibifoc
Ton amitié
Dure comme le roc

Il est super branché
Pour lui rien d'impossible
C'est un vrai passionné
Qui veut l'inaccessible
Dans l'univers glacé
Pays des Esquimaux
Grâce à notre amitié
Son coeur est bien au chaud

{au Refrain}

Quand on appelle Bibi
Il est toujours là
En descendant la vie
Il fonce vers toi
Dans le bleu des glaciers
Il nous fait tous rêver
A la chasse aux méchants
Il est toujours gagnant

It is an opening lyrics to one of my favorite cartoons in my childhood. :smile:

I would be very thankful, if you are able to translate the lyrics.

I'm sure that I gave some answers to your questions in terms of German grammar last year. But I don't help members very often, as I'm not so good to explain German, although or precisely because it is my native language.

I'm not really feeling worthy of worship after chickening out of my Danish oral a week or so ago. :tongue:

It feels so weird to finally have a job and stuff. I found my Danish health insurance card waiting for me in the letterbox when we got back from the airport today too. It just seems too good to be true. I'm bound to get very restless very soon...

That's all so far. I don't know any French phrases or idioms, so it might be a trifle literal!

Is bibifoc his name, or is it just short for bébé phoque? (J'adore le mot 'phoque' <3)

This song sounds amazing. Or rather, reads amazingly. I haven't youtubed it (yet).

My guess is that the foc in bibifoc is actually phoque?

Eh, I'm bent down now, I may as well continue now I can't get up. :tongue:

Random question, but does it get warm and sunny during the summer? That probably sounds really really stupid, but does it have a nice climate in Denmark or is it decidedly British? :tongue:

I think it's probably both! But I haven't finished reading the wiki.fr article on the Bibifoc series!
