The English Bar

[Morneithan]

But nonas's right.

I confess that I have some difficulties to engage a conversation in english without any subject of conversation.

Somebody have an idea to initiate an exchange or a debate ?

(I think that I haven't make made any mistake, yeaaaaaah ! )

F*ck ! For only a letter !

Why your avatar is the Joker ?

[Morneithan]

Haha ! What a question ! I have great affection for the Joker because I think it's the most complex and interesting Comic's character.

He has some points of character that I found in my own personality, such as the unpredictability and that people often have difficulties knowing if I made jokes or if I'm serious.

I like his way of being, his passion for black humor, to turn all things to derision, and his world view completely shifted .

(It took me twenty minutes to write this text, I hope there is not much mistakes )

I love english people. Yesterday, I saw on "Le petit journal", an old lady who's saying that the pop is a fucking bastard.

It was so hilarious

Has anyone tried TOEIC or TOEFL here ?

[nemesis93_75]

I will make TOEIC in one year for my master in IT

So I will try it

[D-Tune]

TOEIC is pretty funny, but can be hard, especially when you meet Aussie accent / abbrevation in the listenning part

Because we (I mean french people) always have learned english with the UK accent. The US one is quite familiar to us too, but that's only because we often hear it in movies or songs.

The TOEIC is very very easy...(almost) without any kind of preparation, I scored 860...in McGyverish conditions.. The CD player was placed in a front of the only microphone actually connected to the amphitheatre' speakers...so, during the listening part, pretty much all we had to listen was larsen and other sound distorsion effects.

[dohier]

Very very easy, for me it was not so easy.

Easy to have 750, a better score becomes hard.

But one thing is really clear, if the sound is not good, it can be really really hard.

[Shtong]

I think I scored 820 at the TOEIC test. The funny thing is that you can get a pretty wide range of opinions about the difficulty of this test, from very very easy to very very hard... It seemed relatively easy to me.

[dohier]

It depends, if you do this test just after one year in an english spoken country, it's very easy.

If it's after a year in french university, with a not so good teacher, and the time spent in pubs , it's very hard

[D-Tune]

I scored around 750 too.

Funny thing is, that I've never spoken to english people (I mean the true one).

It depends...I never spent more than a month in foreign-english-spoken-country...it's just that I didn't care of french people anymore...most of them are like crazy and stupids frogs, with no sense of humor on themselves...they think they are the best, but all the great things they have done this latest half century was...of fuck yeah...nothing...they are stupid, all they can do is move air with their hands doing nothing, elect a hungarian president teaching them the concept of "national identity", like a very famous austrian moustache owner did with the germans (point godwin reached)...their recruitment system is pretty bad too...if you aren't a pretty c*** s****** girl or aren't graduate from X-c***-s******-school you're nothing...all french compagnies should revise their recruitment procedures...for instance, for the developper guys I found theses small blog posts : http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000043.html / http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000073.html .

All in all, France used to be a great country but is not anymore...its inhabitants and politicians have no vision, no goal, no direction, nothing to achieve...France is only good at cooking, fashion and tourism...that's all...and that's not my kind of country. Not anymore. And it's not that I haven't tried. Early 2012 I plan to leave this country, with no regrets.

I'll almost forgot...during the TOEIC preparation my scores were over 930

[Morneithan]

TOEIC is a free test ?

[Charles.w]

nope

[Morneithan]

It was too good to be real !

[Charles.w]

maybe, but to speak like a modern englishmen, you need to add "fuck" in most of your sentenses

- Yeah this place is fucking good looking

- You're damn fucking right

- What the fuck is this ?

- It's my fucking new computer that ...

- Yop, but it's a fucking PC...you're a fucking geek then...

- ...

[Morneithan]

It's fucking instructive !

Good ?

[Charles.w]

No, fucking good

[Wildduck]

Watch your language you fucking freaks!

[Charles.w]

Stupid frogs

[dohier]

Just fuck !
