About Johnny, I'm almost pretty sure he'll reach the 1st place at US championship. At world's, I think he can be on the podium but it will be very difficult to win the gold.

Welcome to our board foreverhis053007

As Eresya said, if you have any question, about french or anything, please ask us !
I'm learning your language, beacause it is so beautiful and useful for figure skating as well. Besides if you have any trouble at english oral comprehension LOL , check out this topic

Anyway we'll be very excited to know everything you'll tell us about your experience in Cleveland

I'm completely HS lol, my english is bad now, because I'm loosing it...

Thank you.
I've never thought that the language I speak was beautiful. It doesn't sound that way to me. One of the reasons I'm trying to learn french is because of its beautiful sound. I am drawn to it. Is it as hard as they say to learn english?

I can't wait to go. Just waiting to get the tickets is unbearable! They aren't selling single tickets until September 27th. One of the first things I do when I get back is tell you my experiences.

Yes foreverhis053007, we love your language, it's very beautiful? I love its sounds

...and more when sounds come from Jojo's mouth ! lol...

Thank you for what you said about the french. I think all language is hard to learn but when you love a language, it's more easy to learn it !

It also sounds wonderful to me
However most of teachers try to make it sound like french.... so that you're totally unable to understand an english speaking person... the reason why I used to dislike english and found lessons completely useless.


How are you learning french foreverhis053007 ?

I am a senior in high school and I'm in French IV

I don't really know what it means. You attend high school ? And french is one of your main subjects ? I know I may be completely wrong lol.

By the way, if you wish to introduce yourself, feel free to create a topic for that.

I also find it difficult to understand english speaking persons... I practice on this point watching videos on youtube and listening to songs. I think I improved quickly this way. How about you ?
For instance, plenty of figure skating videos are picked up from the american TV (I think it will be definitely harder for you to find some in french lol) ... is figure skating very popular in the US ?

lol I don't know what I can say. I think hellosmile said all ! My brain is completely dead with english, whereas I really love this language.

At the High School, I became very good notes, because speaking and writing english was very natural for me. I always was listening US rock and grunge and Nirvana's interviews, I was captivated by the lyrics, so when I wanted to say something, I thought to them and words and expressions came quickly. I loved that !

Now, I have a very bad teacher and the director of the school wants to we have a new. Moreover, I can list music as before no more, I have no time and I consecrate my free time to figure skating, which is my passion.

But I really love english and it will stay forever in my heart (sometimes I speak alone in english to don't lose it completely lol) !

In high school there are typically about 8 classes you have during the day. French is a class. They have I (1) through IV (4). For me, French feels like a main subject, but they consider it an extra class you can choose. I'm in 12th grade. We have freshmen, sophmores, juniors, and seniors (9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th respectively (in order)). I have found several videos in french, but because I don't know alot of french and because they speak so fast, videos don't help me that much. I also speak to my self in french. Speaking to myself and thinking about it helps me learn and sometimes I am able to correct myself.

Figure skating isn't all that popular in the U.S. Alot of people don't view it as a sport. In my school, I am one of the only, if not the only, person who is a "fan" of figure skating. One of the reasons I joined this forum is because I can talk about figure skating. I've enjoyed watching figure skating every once in awhile, but after I saw Johnny, that's when I started to follow it and know who's who.

Ok, welcome to us ! It's very cool to have you here to speak about figure skating, and about our angel : Johnny !

I'm very happy you want to speak french, we'll help us to learn our language together.

Do you skate ? (create a new topic to speak us about you!!)

Not really. There isn't a rink near where I live. I can stay on my feet, but don't ask for anything more.

OK !

Staying on feet, everyone can't do it, so it's good !

Really ?? I thought figure sk was popular in the US... Well, is there a country where it is ? Oh sure, Japan lol

Same here ! That was 4 years ago. I remember how much I liked Michelle Kwan's performance too. I actually love many US skaters: also J Abbott, S Cohen, Davis/White, gregory/Pethukov, Inoue/Baldwin...

Nirvana's interviews, I was captivated by the lyrics

That's a really good way to start english lol I'm sure if you understand Nirvana's songs then you should understand anything/anyone...

can see that JIM ! It still is ! I'm sure we're gonna improve here lol

foreverhis053007,
Welcome!
Will you be a senior this coming school year or did you graduate already?

I started watching him in the 2005-2006 season. I was watching his program "My Way" and I had to know who he was so I could start following him. Since then, I started watching more and liking more skaters.

I'll be a senior this year.

I don't really listen to Nirvana. I don't listen to alot of music. I have a few bands I like, but besides that I don't listen to many others.

I haven't found it to be popular in my area, but maybe in other states? I've only been in 5 of 50 states and some of them I was just travelling through. Russia, maybe???

Thanks for your answer, foreverhis053007. Hope you have a wonderful school year.
In Colorado, figure skating is pretty popular, probably because of all the skaters who live or train here.

I hope so too. Maybe I should move to colorado?

Probably, if you love the mountains. Personally, I would love to move to New York or Miami.

I like mountains! I don't like the cold that much, but I have a feeling that I'll end up somewhere cold anyway. LOL. Yeah, I would like to live in New York or Virginia, but I would love to move to Europe somewhere. I'd take some time roaming through France then Italy. Maybe go see Greece, China, Russia, and Japan. I was told by an exchange student from Russia that I would not like some of the people in Russia. She said that they are rude. She also said that the big cities are nice looking but the county is not.

If you visit France, come to see us !
I remember once I met 3 american girls while eating at the university. An exchange could be a good way to discover and see lots of things and to improve one's language. That's too late for me cause I ended studies 1 year ago Unfortunately I didn't realise how beautiful english is when I was a student

As for Italy, I like it, I find it interesting for many things...
I've never been in the other countries you listed...

I feel particularly attracted by northern Europe, Suitzerland and the US. Also I d like to go to Canada and Japan. Maybe to Australia

Denver has 300 days of sunshine per year so it does not get very cold too often. Of course, there is the occasional blizzard but mostly, it is dry and sunny.

I didn't realize that, Nuku_Hive95. I was thinking it was further north.

The UK and Switzerland would be nice to see. If I do go to France, it won't be for a year or two yet. I was thinking about studying abroad in either France or Italy. Most likely France, but I don't know.

Come one ! We wait you ! In France, you have soon some friends : us !

I will try to get there within a year, but I can't promise. It'll cost alot of money, which is the only thing stopping me. Eventually, I will get there.
