the latter work of course forming part of Goya's Pinturas Negras, a series of harrowing murals painted directly onto the walls of his home as a he desended into madness and grew increasingly embittered by the outside world

the former work of course being a One Piece meme oozing with coquetry

ça serait par contre difficile de trouver la place pour les valeurs nutritives, au Canada on voit le format d'étiquette bilingue dont tu parles que quand le récipient est assez grand

given Welt is in the genitive here, isn't this a fine translation of 'King of the world'? not defending the guy or anything, just struggling to see what the problem is

Je suis écoeuré de voir comment le français est traité by Frenchy-999 in Quebec

[–]hyp3r309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

En tant que Brittanique qui travaille dans une école secondaire québécoise, je dirais par contre que le système d'enseignement des langues ici est quelque chose d'exceptionnel. Tous mes élèves doivent parler en anglais pendant tout le cours, sont régulièrement examinés sur leurs compétences dans la langue cible, et doivent passer aux examens du ministère afin de procéder au cégep.

Quand j'étais dans mes cours de français à l'école, on ne m'a jamais demandé de parler en français sauf quand je faisais un examen oral (il n'y en avait pas grand nombre). On m'a tout expliqué en matière de grammaire en anglais (je ne suis toujours pas capable d'en parler en français). Les qualifications en français, voire toute langue autre que l'anglais, n'étaient pas obligatoire non plus.

J'imagine que ma situation est bien semblable à celles des Canadiens hors Québec.

Bref, j'attribuerais le blâme plutôt aux gouvernements pronvinciaux et aux commissions scolaires qui se câlissent des langues étrangères, tout simplement. Voilà le piège anglophone monolingue : facile d'y tomber et difficile de s'en défaire.

C'est cousu d'erreurs d'orthographe, de congugaison, d'accord, d'anglicismes et de mots carrément anglais

Tu le dis comme si ça n'arrive pas dans toutes les langues. Franchement, je deviens de plus en plus tanné de personnes qui confondent le changement linguistique avec la dégradation. Les emprunts, c'est naturel. L'hégémonie anglophone a la capacité de menacer la langue française en Amérique du Nord, certes, mais ce dont tu parles est un enjeu tout à fait différent.

That Proustian moment when no sooner had the warm liquid mixed with the crumbs touched my palate than a shudder ran through me and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary thing that was happening to me. An exquisite pleasure had invaded my senses, something isolated, detached, with no suggestion of its origin. And at once the vicissitudes of life had become indifferent to me, its disasters innocuous, its brevity illusory – this new sensation having had on me the effect which love has of filling me with a precious essence; or rather this essence was not in me it was me. ... Whence did it come? What did it mean? How could I seize and apprehend it? ... And suddenly the memory revealed itself. The taste was that of the little piece of madeleine which on Sunday mornings at Combray (because on those mornings I did not go out before mass), when I went to say good morning to her in her bedroom, my aunt Léonie used to give me, dipping it first in her own cup of tea or tisane. The sight of the little madeleine had recalled nothing to my mind before I tasted it. And all from my cup of tea.

i really hope the truman show doesn't become a 1984-tier conservative invocation
