Make a French charrie!

[bnlphan]

That's sad and a little humorous at the same time.

I didn't have any trouble with the French you posted. I will make you a deal. If you will post or pm me a couple of days log and if I dont have much trouble understanding them then I will make a French charrie in the next couple of weeks

I would make one again as well if I know that there were active people. But the last time I played one, I spawned in a place where the people who were there hardly talked at all. It was boring as hell.

notsure, did you ever get any French players?

I guess I could always play a mute who doesn't emote and is also blind so she has to spend a lot of time handling objects and resources trying to figure out what they're for.

Seriously though, I've always wanted to play in one of the other language areas. One day I'll have to try and brush up on my Spanish. Or does anyone know a good free software teaching crash courses in French?

P.S. how important are all those weird little accent marks my computer doesn't have for being understood?

I have an adventurer out wandering the map. I'm hoping to eventually run into the French test out all the french I had to take in school.

As far as I can tell, from where my charries are, there are no newspawns.
Since one town has recently been battered by pirates, the citizens would probably not be friendly to visitors.

Give it a try, Marian!
Good luck, ManyVoices - others have found us, unfortunately...

Marian - DuoLingo for smartphones. I started learning French that way (but stopped because school became too busy)

[Marian]

Looks like a good app...really though considering where I live I should probably devote whatever remains of the 'learn new languages' bit of my brain to learning Spanish or even German.

Learning Spanish has always seemed so useless though, what they teach in classes or software isn't remotely how people actually speak.

[Marian]

Okay, so it turns out Duolingo is kind of amazing, and also really addictive.

It's my understanding that (other than Polish) most of the non-English areas are mostly wilderness, which honestly would probably be my main reason for wanting to be there. I know you're not supposed to make characters in another language unless you know at least the basics, but where exactly is the line drawn there?

It seems like if I could at least get a handle on basic sentence structure (and the half a million or so fun variations on words like 'a' 'an' 'the' or 'is' that other languages always have to make so complicated.. ), online dictionaries would come to the rescue on any unfamiliar verbs and nouns and stuff.

And if all else failed I guess I could just have them hardly ever talk, then sail to an English island and hang out there for two or three years until they picked up the local lingo

Bonus points if my character somehow manages to help spawn a bunch of confused French people in the middle of Klojt or wherever...though I guess they'd need to bring a friend for that.

It's my understanding that (other than Polish) most of the non-English areas are mostly wilderness, which honestly would probably be my main reason for wanting to be there.

It's been several years since I don't really play further than in the English areas, but there were pretty big and well developed cities, some of them really rich, in Terranostra and Isla de las Fieras (no clue about how it's called else than that but that's a Dutch/French/Spanish area if I'm not wrong).
All the french chars I've had, though, spawned in pretty wild forests, so you might get lucky.

[Marian]

Okay, I'ma get on this then.

Learning a foreign language just so I can explore a wilderness in a text-based browser game will probably take the cake as almost the saddest and nerdiest thing I've ever done.

(I say 'almost' because said character will be named Jacques Cartier, which will be sort of like the history dork frosting.)
