How to type French Accents and other troublesome Letters on an American Keyboard?

I am re-posting this post, which I slightly edited, from the following blog:

http://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-French-Meetup-Group/messages/boards/thread/8253794/



You can type the French accents and special letters with an American keyboard on both MAC's and PC's. Have a look at the table hereunder and you will know all the shortcut needed to obtain these accents and special letters.


For instance:


é option+e (Mac) Alt+0233 (PC) lowercase e, acute accent


If you want to write the letter "é" and you're on a PC, you must press the Alt key while you're typing the figures 0233. If you're on a Mac, you must press the Option key while you're typing the "e" key twice.


You may want to know that some computers are different and some formulas may not always work. If you want to know how to type these specific characters on your laptop, I would recommend you to look them up on the Internet.


*********************************************************

Bonjour,

Je sais qu'il est bien difficile de taper en français sans un clavier avec les caractères spéciaux dessous. Mais il est bien possible de le faire avec un clavier américain ordinaire. Pour ceci, je vous ai préparé une table avec le caractère et la formule pour l'obtenir sur votre clavier.

Par example:

é option+e e (Mac) Alt+0233 (PC) lowercase e, acute accent

Dans cet exemple, si vous voulez écrire le caractère "é", et vous êtes sur un PC, vous devez appuyer sur la touche Alt pendant que vous tapez les chiffres 0233. Si vous êtes sur un Mac, vous devez appuyer sur la touche Option pendant que vous tapez la touche "e" deux fois.

Il faut savoir que certains ordinateurs sont différents, surtout les ordinateurs portables, et ces formules ne marchent pas toujours. Si vous voulez trouver comment saisir ces caractères sur votre ordinateur, je vous conseille de rechercher sur l'internet votre cas spécial.

J'espère que cette information vous aidera de pouvoir vous exprimer mieux en français depuis votre ordinateur plus facilement.

Top French Grammar Terms

There's always something interesting on Laura K. Lawless's website, like the following article dealing with all these barbarian words your French teachers may use during courses:

French grammar terminology you need to know

By Laura K. Lawless, About.com Guide

http://french.about.com/od/grammar/a/topgrammarterms.htm?nl=1

When you start learning a foreign language, you'll have a head start if you're already familiar with grammar terms related to things like parts of speech in your own language. If you don't know these terms, you'll have more trouble learning French, because grammar is a key component in language study. My French Grammar Glossary can help you understand dozens of grammatical terms, but to give you a head start, I've compiled this list of the essentials with links to more info.

1  Parts of speech
Adjectives, adverbs, nouns, verbs… it's crucial to know the difference between the various parts of speech

2  Verb tense | Verb mood
There's no need to be tense or moody; in order to use verbs correctly, you need to know about verb tense and mood

3  Conjugation
Conjugation refers to all the changes you need to make to a verb to use it with different subjects and in different tenses and moods

4  Auxiliary verb
An auxiliary or helping verb helps another verb say what it's trying to say

5  Transitive verb | Intransitive verb
These terms indicate whether a verb needs or can even take a direct object

6  Direct object | Indirect object
Of course, to understand the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs, you need to know what direct and indirect objects are

7  Clause
Clauses come in different varieties for different purposes - and you don't even need a lawyer to read them over for you

8  Gender
Gender is far more important in French than in English (at least in terms of grammar)

9  Agreement
Grammatical agreement has nothing to do with saying yes or no; it's a way of connecting certain parts of speech to the people or things they modify

10  Inversion
Inversion is a change from the normal word order - you'll see it in questions as well as a few other constructions

c'est le  _ _ _ _ _ _ _  d'Amsterdam
qui s'est chargé du glaçage

le corps tatoué de visages
des anges dandys au dense plumage

je rentre à  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

je _ _ _ _ _ _ _  à  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

je serais rentrée à la nage
si je n'avais pas eu tant de  _ _ _ _ _ _ _

portée par un héritage
enfin je suis un peu plus sage
il était temps, à mon  _ _ _ ...!

le dub fait danser mes scandales
en format  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
je rentre à  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
mon îvresse n'a rien d'un mirage

TRANSLATION (Lazy Google Translation):

"Montreal"
(Ariane Moffatt) 2006 - Canada

I return to Montreal
head swollen clouds
Amsterdam is the transit
who undertook frosting
I return to Montreal
body tattooed faces
Angels dandies in dense plumage
highlighted my way

sun floods the terminal
dub is my dance scandal
original format
I returned to Montreal

I return to Montreal
packed the heart of courage
I would be back to swim
if I had not had so much baggage
I return to Montreal
carried by a legacy
Finally, I am a little wiser
It was time, at my age ...!

sun floods the terminal
dub is my dance scandal
original format
I returned to Montreal

My intoxication is not a mirage
Paris has bawled my rage
finished childish
I put my fears to the garage
and I return to Montreal
my smile is an alloy
Lightweight and malleable
totally natural

sun floods the terminal
dub is my dance scandal
original format
I returned to Montreal


dan di bahasa malaysia: (terjemahan malas ;)

"Montreal"
(Ariane Moffatt) 2006 - Kanada

Aku kembali ke Montreal
kepala bengkak awan
Amsterdam adalah transit
yang melakukan frosting
Aku kembali ke Montreal
tatu wajah tubuh
Angels pesolek di bulu lebat
jalan diserlahkan

Ming banjir terminal
menjuluki adalah skandal tarianku
format asli
Aku kembali ke Montreal

Aku kembali ke Montreal
dikemas jantung keberanian
Aku akan kembali ke renang
seandainya aku tidak punya begitu banyak bagasi
Aku kembali ke Montreal
dibawa oleh warisan
Akhirnya, saya sedikit lebih bijaksana
Sudah waktunya, pada usia saya ...!

Ming banjir terminal
menjuluki adalah skandal tarianku
format asli
Aku kembali ke Montreal

keracunan saya tidak fatamorgana
Paris memiliki pekik kemarahan saya
Tamat kekanak-kanakan
Aku meletakkan ketakutan saya ke garasi
dan aku kembali ke Montreal
senyumku adalah gabungan
Ringan dan mudah dibentuk
benar-benar alami

Ming banjir terminal
menjuluki adalah skandal tari saya
format asli
Aku kembali ke Montreal

Bons vols !

A bâbord / à tribord VS à gauche / à droite

à bâbord / à tribord


these expressions used in sailing (and possibly) in the aviation come from the Dutch language. (bakboord & stuurboord).

The "à gauche" & "à droite" expressions are much easier to use with French speakers as they may not be much familiar with "à bâbord" & "à tribord";)
