Do you want to read a British newspaper on line ? To improve your English or just to know what’s happening ? I have discovered, searching the day before yesterday some news about England/Wales,

Daily Mail,

24 hours a day, on

http://www.dailymail.co.uk .

If you discover some other newspapers in English, put me a comment ! ^^

French are supposed to speak quite bad in English or in other languages. Why ?

Because ! No, it’s not a joke : the problem, to my mind, is the way foreign languages are taught in France. Past the first basic lessons (My name is …, clothes, colours, animals, …) the two first years, very fast little French begins to learn… how to comment a text ! They know where are metaphors and understatements in an extract of classic literature, but they don’t know how to ask for food or how to answer simple questions. There is a very serious problem !

They don’t listen enough, they don’t talk enough. Classrooms are too full to learn foreign languages correctly : we can’t often talk, we just can read and write. And if we have to talk, it is for say “there is a chiasm line forty-nine”… Lol !

If I could change something (if I were minister of National Education, I can dream…), I’d do this : first, little groups (four pupils, not thirty-four !), so that everybody can talk ; second, true situations (like some kind of drama : you are lost in a street, you’re ill, …) ; third, discussions (about news, or themes,…), fourth, history-geography-sciences once in French, once in foreign languages (in English, in Spanish, …). All more propositions are welcome.

Sorry for the mistakes : English is not my language.

See you later ! ^^

The Moon and the Sun have created the World : stones, waters, trees, animals…
Then, they’ve created the "Seven First" : both bears and humans. One of them called Tchloukhnovdlievvalyi, and a simply human called Ouva, fell in love, and Ouvvalyiga was born.
Ouvvalyiga made 16 pairs of dolls in wood. The Sun touched 8 of them, the Moon the other 8. The 16 clans of Ouvaga People.
That’s why Ouvaga say consider Bears as Humans (and maybe more than humans).
The word "naniouktchki" signifies both children of humans and children of bears. So, choose what I am : a "Naniouktchka", human or bear ?

Bientôt, je vous raconterai cette histoire en détail (et en français, lol !), avec des images pour illustrer le tout ! à bientôt pour de nouvelles aventures !
