Malheureusement, je vais aller au théâtre ce soir, alors je ne peux pas chatter.

Unfortunately I'm going to the theatre tonight so I can't chat.

Je suis désolé. J'ai raté le reste de mes cours de français. J'ai reçu un appel inattendu et je n'ai pas pu me reconnecter. J'attendais avec impatience le reste du chat ..

Le rendez-vous n'est qu'une offre, pas une obligation. S'il n'y a personne pour le français, je serai heureux de chatter dans une autre langue ou de fouiller un peu sur le forum.

In the last few weeks I haven't posted a reminder of the chat - but maybe it's time again.

So: I plan to be there today - in four hours - like the last Mondays

I'm interested in using mchat to improve my French but I'm in Australia. I have previously used Skype and Zoom for regular sessions in Italian with a native speaker. I'm reasonably flexible for time, being retired but Evenings here translate to mornings in Europe, so that might be a problem. I'm slowly learning German as well.

Currently learning Mandarin Chinese, Russian, French, Italian ( et Italien depuis le français) , Norwegian and Scottish Gaelic (my first langage which I stopped using at 4 years old and am re-learning). I have Indonesian on the backburner. I've had exposure to all these languages before Duolingo.

We're planning a trip to Europe in December along with my son and his wife. My spoken French is reasonable and I can get by in German. We're planning to visit France, Luxembourg and Germany. My son will be doing most of the driving. I'm not planning to learn any Lëtzebuergesch (maybe a few phrases for fun)

I see that you are in Queensland. So our time difference is eight hours now in our summer. So the evening in Europe is a very early morning for you.

As I'm German we could also chat using German - to prepare your visit. Nothing would be more easy for me.
For French I'm only a learner. In summer I have more time in my afternoon (your late evening?) than in winter. Perhaps we find a time to chat now in summer.

Thanks Monique.

I don't think I'm ready to chat in German yet. French, yes, because I used to train people using French in Africa about 20 years ago. I'm just up to level 10 in German in Duolingo, although I did a short course in German, when I was at university in the 70s, mainly for reading German scientific papers.

Maybe when I've done more German on Duolingo.

Bonjour, Jim,

[mention]Jim606185[/mention] Maintenant, en été, je travaille jusqu'à midi ou une heure, et il est alors entre 8 et 9 heures du soir dans le Queensland. C'est peut-être un peu tard pour toi ?

Le matin, je ne peux malheureusement pas chatter du tout. Le matin, je travaille toujours.

Voyons s'il y a quelqu'un ici qui a d'autres horaires libres ou qui est sur un autre continent.

Merci Monique. Depuis mon dernier message, j'ai déjà trouvé quelqu'un sur Tandem, qui est une application que j'ai déjà utilisée. J'apprécie ton aide.

I will not be in the chat on Monday 15 August. I will be on a mini-break.
But I would be happy to read that there was a French chat without me.

Je ne serai pas sur le chat le lundi 15 août. Je vais prendre de très courtes vacances.
Mais je serais heureuse de lire qu'il y a eu un chat en français sans moi.

The next two Mondays (Monday evenings for me) I will not be here to chat. For me, the next possible Monday is November 7.

Je ne serai pas là pour chatter les deux prochains lundis (pour moi, les lundis soirs). Pour ma part, le prochain lundi possible est le 7 novembre.

I have a lot of things on hold at the moment, so I won't have time on Nov 7 either.
Next week, I want to set aside Thursday, Nov 10 as an alternative date for my evening for French in the forum. If someone comes to chat then, I will be happy.
According to the current plan, everything could return to normal for me in the week starting Nov 14.

We are now out of Daylight Saving Time - only 5 hours difference to the US East Coast and 8 hours instead of the previous 9 to the US West Coast.

This week i will only sporadically look at the forum. But: many screen shots of duolingo sentences are already waiting to be worked on.

Aujourd'hui je suis sur le chat - tout de suite et puis, si quelqu'un vient - pendant environ une heure

La semaine prochaine, le 12 décembre, je n'aurai à nouveau pas le temps.

Je ne pourrai probablement pas planifier une visite régulière du forum avant fin janvier, donc pas de chat en français non plus.

Mais la participation n'a de toute façon pas été très active les dernières fois.
