I've been very ill for the last twenty days or so after catching a strong flu. I'm slowly getting better and going back to my usual activities, but it will take me another one/two weeks before I fully recover. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hey everyone,
I'm not the most tech savvy that's certain. However I thought I'd share a little something I discovered in my 'net wanderings' of late. I was enjoying reading wikipedia in French in relation to Québec, Québec City, Montréal - the history, language etc, and then I became curious about French in Nouveau Brunswick. Anyway I then thought I'll just type in "le français dans le monde" (i'm sure i've done this numerous times before) into google and see what comes up. This website came up. It's a magazine in French which discusses all things associated with the French language around the world particularly the learning and teaching of it - the state of the language, conferences, methods to pass exams, exotic places where its spoken, anything it seems to do with the language. I don't think this link works... so just type in www.fdlm.org Magazine: le français dans le monde You can read a full copy for free online via that link, or download the 3rd party magazine browsing app called "Issuu" or sign up with "Issuu" website perhaps? (I used the app) to gain free access to some of the content of the magazine- a handful of free pages (few articles) of each issue of which there seem to be hundreds of issues up to date. I find this stuff interesting (reading about the French language in French). I downloaded the Issuu app. I must say i'm almost tempted to sign up for the digital subscription of this magazine but I can't justify the expense being worth it given all my other materials. Still gaining access to the free content is still worthwhile. If you do know of/ want to try out the app "Issuu" there is a lot of other good reading on there... Via the Issuu app which is a magazine browsing style app in which you find anything of interest and add it to your reading list after searching your interests. There seems to be quite a few other magazines in French. One I found very interesting which may interest some other peopl is calle "54 États". It's a magazine about Africa - politics, culture, agriculture, technology. I'm not sure the content is riveting (haven't really read much of it yet) but the fact that every single article is written in both French and English (side by side on the page) is useful for us French learners. All content on the Issuu app seems to be completely free (that's one of its selling points ironically), so 54 Etats is a completely free French magazine via this app. Hey Suzukaze... I hope you're feeling better! PM Edit: As I still find myself getting used to the Issuu app I just discovered some French learning materials on there for free. For example DK French-English bilingual visual dictionary (over 6000 words with diagrams/photos/pix). I bought this book some yrs ago for a small sum but via this app the whole thing is free! I dont fully understand the concept of the app tho as bookmarks dont seem possible, I dont mind when i have access to a claimed 18million publications free - u can DL what u like & read offline too Edited by PeterMollenburg on 05 March 2015 at 9:56am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Looks interesting thanks Peter.
Did we lose posts? Was there something about the output challenge? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hey redflag and Mohave,
Yeah it's quite a good find the Issuu iOS app is particularly nice... I don't know what's gone on exactly lately with changes at HTLAL but I'm no longer getting email notifications of any messages in any logs, weird. I'm sure it will resolve as I start writing in ppl's log's again, but it almost seems like I'll need to 'subscribe' to everyone's logs again that I was following... fun fun Throw a turd over your shoulder 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I have/had a filter on my gmail so all email notification went to a special folder but
since the dramas it's stopped working and mostly they just go to spam. I tried setting up a new filter but the from address is my own address so it's difficult to find something to filter by .... 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I'm still feeling so-so; the flu is mostly gone but I started having anxiety attacks from time to time so some days I'm feeling normal, others…not so much. I'm trying to study regularly, though. It helps to keep my mind occupied :) 1 person has voted this message useful |
