Perhaps your English, your French, your Esperanto, your Chinese and even your programming skills may be better than mine. I don't care.<BR/><BR/>Your deficits are of quite a different nature. Arrogance and a lack of humbleness often use to tarnish intellectual capacities when people are not willing or able to hear arguments they don't like and simply reject.- <BR/>Mais Madame ou Monsieur, je loue votre engagement pour la pureté et la norme de la langue francaise.

You know, this kind of ignorance, this lack of know-how makes you supporters of the French cause look like Neanderthals, creatures incapable of adjusting to modernity, too old-fashioned to survive. Just for your information, you need to use html code "a href=" to post links on Blogger. Click <A HREF="http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_links" REL="nofollow">Here</A> for more details on this. <BR/><BR/>Another thing. German academics used to speak and write excellent French. Your French, however, is even worse than your English. It defeats your purpose when the appeal of the French language is not enough to make you take the time and effort to learn it properly, don't you think? There you have the problem of la Francophonie in a nutshell: all that the French language has going for it these days is past prestige, which, to a huge majority of students, isn't much of a motivation to learn a foreign language. I think the little Rwandans will agree.Unfrench Frenchmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768386601400469615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14995246.post-89740327476367665232008-10-18T10:27:00.000-07:002008-10-18T10:27:00.000-07:00Better to seek advice at Rwandans who know the sit...Better to seek advice at Rwandans who know the situation in Rwanda better than Francophobe web pages. <BR/>An extraordinary comment on the circumstances of the linguistic change which never has been the result of a democratic debate: <BR/><BR/>http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu-__Hwti3w&eurl=http://www.nkb-journal.com/spip.php?breve738Privatdozent Dr. Kian-Harald Karimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03811340620563020141noreply@blogger.com
