I am a Cajun from Louisiana,USA.I have learn French from my parents.
They were not educated ,and didn't read or write French,or English.
We spoke only French at home.When most Cajuns my age started school,we could not speak any English.We only knew the French language we learned at home.We lived in the country ,and had no TV,or radio.
We had very little contact with the outside world.At the age of 6 in those days all Americans are sent too public schools.That was the law.I have never forgotten my French language.I am trying to learn to read it now.I would like some help.If you are willing to help me I would appreciate it so much.
Merci!

Bonjour,
Je suis de la Nouvelle OrlZans.
Je dZmanZgais de la Nouvelle OlZans en 1972 et je reprenais la belle langue en 1994 quand je travaillais en New York City. Journellemant je prenais le train de chez moi dans un pebreast village en Connecticut ^ mon bureau ^ Manhattan. Dans la tranquillitZ du wagon je lisais les grandes ouvrages franaises du XIX sicle. Je commencais avec les contes par Guy de Maupbuttant; elles sont faciles et courtes. Je te conseille rechercher une livre de texte d'une bouquiniste et une bonne dictionnaire franaise, je me sers du Pebreast Robert. Y-a-t'il l'Alliance Franaise prs de chez toi?
Il a fallu pour moi ^ apprendre de nouveau les regls d'orthographe anglaises afin apprendre ceux du Franais. (subjonctif, pbuttZ simple, imparfait, futur anterieur, etc.) Un boulot bien szr mais pas impossible pour les ttes grises comme nous sommes.

Hello,
I'm kind of self-studying the French language like most everyone here, and I have no one to check my work-progress. I'd like to know if there's anyone out there who has some free time to help me? alternatively, i'd like to ask the moderators if its ok for me to post some short translationsexercises that I'm doing for group checking? You see it's embarrbuttingly lower level stuff and I'm concerned it might be inappropriate for advanced speakers in this group.

Although I'm not a moderator, the posts I have seen over the months since I have joined the group indicate that people with all levels of competence in French or English, from the absolute beginner to the native speaker, are welcome to ask for help or support in learning the language they have not been brought up in. Many people have requested similar help and many others have responded with help and suggested corrections. It is one way to improve your skills in writing the language and translating. Post your efforts both in French and English, so that whoever responds can be clear about what you are attempting to write in the other language. There is no need to be embarrbutted about anything, everyone has had to start somewhere.
