Bonjour Padma! (Hello Padma) Je m'appelle Krithika. (My name is Krithika) Cava! Comment allez-vous? (How are you?) Padma, it is really wonderful of you to start this thread! Bravo! Bravo!! I learnt French for a couple of years at Alliance Francais in Chennai, but now absolutely lost touch. My son is learning French in school for the past 3years and I brushed up my French with him. This thread will really help me. So, please continue. Also, how do you type the accents above and below in the keyboard?? Absolutely love this thread!! Au revoir!! Will be back soon. Cheers Krithika
Bonsoir ma belle Padma, Si, moi aussi, je ne sais pas comment j'ecris les accents. Je veux participer ici. If I write more French, it will be bad for all our mental health

(I like to speak in French!) Au revoir Padma! (Bye Padma) P.S. Please make corrections if there are mistakes, so that I will also learn better. merci beaucoup! (thank you very much)
Merci, Padma (for starting this thread). This is a bonne idee. Btw, the sentences I know in french(other than the above 2 phrases are ) - Bonjour, Je Mapelle Asha. (Remember Je Mapelle Joey Tribiani ???? That's where I learnt it from). Au revoir!!! That's the French I managed to pick up even though I've been to France multiple times I guess I'm going to learn a lot from this thread. Padma - Once again - Merci!
Padma: J'ai trouve finalement! (I found the thread finally!) Moi, je m'appelle Sindhu. ( Me, I am Sindhu). Et comment mettre les accents, est-ce que vous pouvez expliquer ca, sil vous plait?
