Wa Alaykum salam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

For me i think i would truly benefit from a French section, really need to improve on my french and it would be great to get people who are fluent sort of helping out so i'm up for it.

However, we have to make sure that it is only beneficial stuff and not idle chit chat nonsense.

So for me it is Oui oui Sans Abris (that rhymes! i'm not directing that comment at anyone by the way)

I think French section is going to be so cool! French is widely spoken and it has been the language of the UN for a long time.

Arabic section is not that significant either since not many members speak Arabic and only a handful of threads actually relate Arabic to Quran.

Here's a rough translation of what I said:

Greetings!

But of course - a French section is a very good idea!

Peace
Of course, since my French is very rusty it's more than likely that I made some mistakes...

Peace

PS Don't worry about not being able to understand - there are already sections on the forum for other languages. If you don't understand them you could either drop in to try and learn or just steer clear like I do (cause I'm lazy).

Je crois, c'est une bonne idee, mon frere! J'ai apris cette langue quand j'ai ete 18 ans. J'ai oblie beaucoup des mots et les vocabulaires!! Et maintenant, je parle avec mes amis qui viennent de Senegal ou Maroc. Quel que fois, je ne comprend pas ce qu'ills dites! parce qu'ils parlent rapidement.

D'accord, peut etre vous pouve n'apprendre? Je pense, les moderateurs trouvent cette section agreable!

I think it's a good idea my brother! I learnt this language when I was 18. I forgot many words and the vocabulary!! And now, I speak with my friends from Senegal or Morocco. Sometimes, I don't understand what they're saying! because they speak too fast.

Alright, can you teach us? I hope, the moderators will find this section aggreeable.

Looks to me like we've started our own French section here.
Luckily I studied French at A Level and I could understand what you were saying Brothers Aljawad and Takumi.
I already knew that Bro Takumi likes French (as well as himself :) ). Every time I look at the words under his name I have to laugh :giggling: .
I agree that a French Section would be a good idea but what is the point?
OK OK you're telling me it helps you to learn your otherwise rusty french but cant you do that in the Education Section.
For the people who talk French, 99% probably speak English aswell so you get what I'm saying? Oh well everybody's entitled to their own opinion.
If you ask me its more work for the overworked mods, non?
No hard feelings. :thankyou:

It is not as easy as you might think. It is easier being said than being done, and that is th reality of this forum. However, there are some circumstances as to having a french section. If we have a french section, it wouldnt be fair to all the other people that are somalians, or chinese, or italian. I can assure you everyone here is atleast from some different ethnic group then someone else there for such cases like these really have to be considered and really have to apply some deep thinking to.

French is not my native tounge. Just like the Urdu section, they have it so that people can learn Urdu.

Why can't we have the French section to polish up our French and English?

There are many phrases in French that are commonly used in English.

savoire faire, tete-a-tete, vis-a-vis, au fait, fin, abbattoir, avant garde, passe, coup d'etat, the list could go on.

I don't have time to review it. Since I'm in the forum anyway, I can just visit the French section from people who are actually speaking French (Canadians, French etc) daily.

Est-ce que vous comprenez, mes amis? :p

Sis you said that it wouldn't be fair. I agree. But you see French is widely spoken around the world compared to Italian and Chinese, so we can use that language InshaAllah to make Daawah to those who understand french better than other languages. Articles in French can be posted without the translation (which sometimes take a lot of time to translate). Moreover, some of us can use that section to learn french, and this can help them in school. Besides, knowing french can enable them to read any french islamic book. There's plenty other advantages of a french section but i cant mention it all.
Hope that you are going to help Sis.
Remember, everyone who starts something which is good will be rewarded until it goes on (correct me if im wrong).

You are right, if we spread dawah we will all be rewarded, although this doesn't necessarily we have to do it through the internet. It can be at your home, at the moqsue in the park. One doesnt have to spread dawah necessarily through the internet.



  • Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever among you sees something wrong should change it with his hands. If he is unable, then with his tongue. If he is unable, then in his heart, and that is the weakest of faith.”




This bit shows that one doesn't necessarily have to do dawah necessarily through their fingers. It can be done my mouth (verbally). The internet is not the only place where we see wrong or faults by other people. We see it anywhere and everywhere. So I'm sorry to say, the da'wah excuse is not exactly an enforced suggestion that will make us deeply think about. It is good, but not enforceable.



As for the articles and advantages of french, there are other of advantages that chinese can give just like french. I am defiently not being biased so don't think that, but what makes French so different from other languages? What is so spectacular about french that is not so spectacular about the other languages? (Apart from giving dawah that is..lol) Anyone else is most certainly welcome to help this frenchman try to influence me that a French section is well-worth it.

I think it's stupid to keep adding new sections.. English and arabic are the only two sections we need.. Then, we might as well just add a section for every language, since there's lot of different languages spoken by the members here..
I really think it's useless.. Maybe for some it can be beneficial, but if you wanna learn french or wanna pratice because you're a little rusty, then learn it in a class, with evening lectures maybe.. It'll just use to much space here I think..
