Oh, that sucks. I only wanted to do accelerated for the English but it seems Im good enough for it all. What have you learned in French ? My mum told me some things like 'Shut the door' but that is the only thing she can remember.
And you have to add like things at the end of each word depending on your gender. It seems French could be challenging!

I took French for 4 years and Godric knows more French after taking 1 year. My high school has a problem keeping French teachers. (Think DADA teachers but with French teachers). :lol: My sophomore year, I had 3 different teachers. :o Let's see, my 1st high school French teacher was fired for helping kids with the Regents exam, 2nd one got pregnant and had to go on bedrest (she wasn't a real teacher anyway, she just knew French. They couldn't find an actual teacher). 3rd one was a retired teacher and she was really strange, 4th one was another retired teacher and she taught while the 3rd one was on vacation for 2 months out of junior year. Then I quit French. But after that they got a real teacher. She lasted for 2 years, which is a record. Then they couldn't find another teacher and now one of the Spanish teachers is teaching French. *cough*Snape*cough*

But anyway, yeah, French is hard. But it can be kind of fun, too. Hmm, I'll say something in French for you guys.

Je m'appelle Sarah. J'habite a New York. J'adore les canards et le chocolat. Mes soeurs es Godric et Fawkes. Youknowwho est mon frere. J'ai un beaux chapeau. :lol: Godric can correct it if necessary.

I could graduate a year early. But I don't want to. I want to spend as much time with my parents as possible, and I'd have to take a special summer L.A. and Social Studies class to do so. So, I'm happy knowing that I'll have only two classes that will stop me from graduating early. But I don't care. I'm going to take A.P. Calc in my senior year.

*Stares blankly at everybody as they speak in french.* It would appear that I'm the only one who isn't learning french.

Nah, I'm more interested in speaking Japanese than French. Once I finish Japanese, my parents are going to make me learn Spanish, seeing as how spanish is often used in the states, and I'll have to move back there, eventually.

Spanish is used in certain parts of the US, but not all over. It's definitely a useful thing to know Spanish, but I don't know much. There aren't a whole lot of Spanish speaking people where I live. Spanish is spoken more in the South, Texas and such.

My meager knowledge of Spanish consists of knowing to count to 10, and 3 phrases. 'Donde estes el banio?' 'Mas tequilla por favor.' 'Une autra servasa por favor.' And I'm sure I've got the spelling wrong in all of them. But they mean 'Where's the bathroom?' 'More tequilla please.' and 'Another beer please.' :lol:

You got it right, Fawkes! :grin:

Let's see, I know how to count to ten, how to say hello, goodbye, friend, taco, chimichanga, Quesadilla, burrito, fajita, and chalupa, all of which I learned a taco bell. :lol: :lol: :lol: .

Sorry Duckie. But It should be "mes soeurs sont Godric and Fawkes". That's because "my sisters" is plural.
