Let's speak english !

It really depends of who's speaking and about what. My weakness is most when I have to go from French to English. I don't really know how I can exercice in this way. I don't have much opportunities to speak english. And when I wrote, it's usually non-complex sentences. (With a lot of grammatical errors, I think ^^)

I have the same feeling about the fact of writing in a simple manner.. But, even in French I hardly express myself...
At least, we manage in constructing more or less understable sentences, that is one point.

You may have told me before, and I'm sorry if I forgot , but what are you learning Cydonia?

You talk about my studies, right ?
Well, I am in a training to become technician in the pharmaceutical and cosmectic industries. After I get my degree, I'll be able to work in some sectors such as production, quality insurance etc.
To tell the truth, I'm a bit disappointed about the jobs we can do. I had some misconceptions when I enrolled, they are pretty boring.

You, If I remember well, you plan to work in genetic research as a laborantin, isn't it ?

Floppy disks are like Jesus. They die to become the icon of saving.

Yeah, I realise that I am not a very practical person. And even so, I thought we would create new drugs/cosmetics, that we would be able to work in the Reaserch and Developpment sector actually. But in fact, that diploma leads mainly to the production, quality insurance etc.
The last week I had some practical works about the packaging sector, and we worked on different kind of machines such as the filling machines etc. That was a bit boring.

When do you get your diploma ? Next Year ? I think you've already said me but I don't remember -_-'.

Next year, I will have 2 internships of 4 months. Then I will be able to have a diploma
Maybe you will find some work more research-oriented. Sometimes a diploma can get you elsewhere that the place you thought you were going.

Are you still on reeducation?

Watching TV series with English subtitles is very useful to me
And by reading lyrics of English songs I like I can improve my English too!

I am taking this pretty old message to add I improved my English by reading and listening to some books (using audio-books) at the same time.
For example, I did that twice for the last Harry Potter book. The first time, I remember I noted every vocabulary I did not understand in a notebook. The second time, I was able to understand everything without looking at it. Listening to this voice speaking a very good English also helped because I have sometimes a hard time understanding people speaking.
After that, I had a TOEIC exam in which I succeeded without any difficulty, and even with a result that was really above my expectations.
I think you should consider this way to work if you have difficulties to understand people speaking and learning new vocabulary


Edit :I am currently trying the Google translation on this page. Sometimes, it is quite funny ^^

No one here speaks english or what ?

I would like to practice in real life but I already have trouble to speak french with people

I am not really convinced by your argument Jag.
It has happened to me to express myself really better in English than I do in French. Weird  

Well I don't really try, I should, there is some bars who organized specials evening for speak differents languages with people but I don't really feel good about going alone, not yet anyway

I think a bar is not a really good place to listen to each other, too much people, too noisy.
In such a place, it can be difficult to understand each other (without shouting), even in French. So, in English, I think it is easy to get completely lost ^^

Bars are not always crowded or noisy. Sometimes, you can just hang out around a drink, peacefully.  

Well, It can happen I guess. But I have never found THE perfect bar (and even restaurant) : always something (or someone ) to disturb me, even if it is not too noisy for most of people.

I want become social.

Jag, just speak french. You'll avoid making mistakes as big as you are ( I want TO become ).
