I’m pretty sure the difference between junior and regular musicals is that junior ones are shorter and have less songs. Yes, I did end up auditioning. Auditioned for Pinocchio, ended up with a Fairy Godmother.
Anyways, today I learned that the French language labels things as either masculine or feminine. Salad (salade) is feminine, and hamburger (hamburger) is masculine. I’ve come to the conclusion the French language is crazy
Yeah English is the freak language, all of the languages I speak use masculine or feminine- I don’t really see the need for it though, I think it’s a bit silly.
Here’s a tip for you (you’ll need it in the near-future seeing as you’ll be learning words soon enough) but here’s a good list to learn to be able to identify near-accurately (80%) of all French words’ genders.
Masculine
- -age
- -ment
- -il, -ail, -eil, -ueil
- -é (but not -té)
- -eau and -ou
- -ème, -ège
- -i, -at, -et and -ot
- -er
- -oir
- -isme
- -ing
- -ard
Feminine
- tion, -sion and -son
- -ure
- -ude, -ade
- -ée
- -té
- -ière
- Consonant followed by -ie
- -euse
- -ance, -ence
- Most other endings consisting of Vowel + Consonant + e: -ine, -ise, -alle, -elle, -esse, -ette etc
Oh and if you want to continue on French during school, learn your genders from the beginning and your vocabulary. I’m teaching a lad who has been doing French for 5 years now, he didn’t know what l’homme (man) was 
.
French is a nice language I think, if you have a large enough vocabulary in English- you should get through your first two-three years of French fine because it shares a lot of words with English because they’re both Latin-derived languages e.g:
La Promenede- looks like the English ‘promenade’ which makes ‘to walk’ or ‘stroll’- see, it’s great fun.
Oh dear you got me talking about languages again and now I’m on a rant…putain (uh don’t use that word in your homework).
And you’re right about the Junior bit as well. Any vulgar/adult parts (for the most part) are taken out of the plays. Small subplots and songs are taken out and sometimes minor characters are added so more people can take part.

Hehe I, having studied french most of my life, am well acquainted with that word. As I’ve probably mentioned before, my dad’s a french teacher, in addition to other things, and he and I refer to a certain world leader as Vladimir Putain.
There’s also a French foreign exchange student in my drama class and he and I say stuff similar to that especially when things are a real saloperie.
Look its a thingy! A fiendish thingy!

Offline I hated learning French as the teachers were words i will not type here. My first ever French class consisted of my French teacher talking down to me it hadn’t been taught in my primary school. I refused to answer the first question of my French oral exam, said i wasn’t doing it and walked out.
Don’t treat folk like s**t and then expect them to give a s**t about you and whatever your doing.

And we could read Greek because we ran it through Google Translate. Okay, it wasn’t a perfect translation but it got us 75% of the way there.

Last time I went through a tunnel from the airport it was from Brisbane airport to Roma St interchange and I got charged $50, so I won’t make that mistake again! The train from the airport is much cheaper. The alternative in Sydney to the M5 is the train to the airport which is ridiculously expensive so what I win in one city I lose in another. There is a mania for toll everything in Australia as a poor excuse to good urban planning.

Offline Today I learned a new word in Irish taoschnó (tay-is-kah-no)- donut/doughnut.
I never knew that the powers above who make new words for Irish, bothered to do ‘donut’.
I’m doing a cross-examination of the difference in the first Harry Potter translations- in Irish, French and German from the original English for one of my school projects (it’s quite interesting, it’s a 5,000 report not due until late February and I’m almost halfway done ).
One of the characters in the book buys a donut in the first chapter. The German translator said they bought a chocolate covered ring, the French said they bought a puff-pastry and the Irish said he bought a bun/cupcake.
Moving onto a quarter way through the book and donuts appear again, now the German translator is saying you can get donuts, the Irish says donuts are on the table and the French is still sticking with the puff-pastry.
Consistency lads for Christ’s sake, for once the French have got it right!
