Thread: Trying very very hard to learn French

Il est un air pour qui je donnerais
Tout Rossini, tout Mozart et tout Weber
Un air tres vieux, languissant et funebre
Qui pour moi seul a des charmes secrets

Or chaque fois que je viens a l'entendre.....

English translation:

He is an expression/symbol for whom I give myself out
Every Rossini, every Mozart and every Weber
An expression so ancient, languid and dismal
Whom for myself solely since charming secrets

But every belief that I have felt to understand.....

Gerard de Nerval, Fantasie

Can somebody please have the patience to teach me French....

Mais moi vivre a Paris, he qui voudrait le faire

Translation in English:

Why do I have to live in Paris, well I say to whomever wants....

Poem by Boileau

Marcher a travers des sommeils de cyclones transportant des villes somnabules dans leurs bra endoloris

English translation:


To march across the sleep of cyclones convey of absence of sleepwalkers with their sore arms
Translation is at the back of the book but I don't look. It is cheating. I also want to see how proficient my would-be tutor is.
