Triple The

Now, we try to say something.

The telephone, we say Le téléphone
But
The television
, we say La télévision

In French, we differ between masculine thing and feminine thing.
They say, telephone is masculine so we use Le, television is feminine so we use La
If we say plural things, we use Les, without see those gender.

Le téléphones or La télévisions

See, we also add an "s" as an English plural

Hmm, there are something interesting in French.
If the following noun begins with a vowel , Le or La becomes L'

L'ordinateur (m), it means The computer.
L'ile (f)
, it means The island.

Les ordinateurs and Les iles

First French

Hohoho, lets start our new weblog

Its about French. Lets learn French.
Hm, hm, hm, suppose my English is also in good shape now, because I am not good in English :D
So, I will learn both French and English here.

I take the material from http://www.frenchtutorial.com
You can also get these these tutorial from here.

First, we should know French Pronoun (Pronoms Personnels)
In singular, there is:
- I becomes Je [hje]
- You becomes Tu [tju]
- He becomes Il [il], masculine things
- She becomes Elle [ell] feminine things


Next the plural:
- We become Nous [nu]
- You become Vous [vu]
- They become Ils [ille], masculine
- They become Elles [ella], feminine


Hmm, inside the bracket [...] there is the pronunciation from that word.
But, that is Indonesian pronunciation, especially Javanese pronoun.

OK, lets try:
Je, Tu, Il, Elle, Nous, Vous, Ils, Elles
Je, Tu, Il, Elle, Nous, Vous, Ils, Elles
Je, Tu, Il, Elle, Nous, Vous, Ils, Elles
I, You, He, She, We, You, They, They
Je, Tu, Il, Elle, Nous, Vous, Ils, Elles


See, you can speak French?
