J’ai veux écrire français un peut, mais je ne sais pas beaucoup. Alors, je m’appelle Indra. J’aime jazz, New York City, théâtre, livres, manchots et chocolat chaud. Je t’aime ma famille, mes amis et Dieu. Je n’aime pas vivant en à la campagne. J’adore en ville. Vraiment je ne fais pas. Aujourd’hui c’est mercredi. Covert Affairs es sur la télévision ce soir! J’ai excité! Mon père parti pour travaillé. Ma mère est dormi.
I could probably say a lot more things if I just refreshed on my vocabulary and proper sentence order of things, but without being too personal.
Sorry sugar, but I couldn’t resist. Great effort!
J’ai volou écrire en français un peut, mais je ne sais pas beaucoup. Alors, je m’appelle Indra. J’aime le jazz, New York City, le théâtre, des livres, des pingouions et le chocolat chaud. J’aime ma famille, mes amis et Dieu. Je n’aime pas vivre dans la campagne. J’adore vivre en ville. [Not sure what you’re trying to say here: Vraiment je ne fais pas]. Nous sommes mercredi aujourd’hui. Covert Affairs es sur la télévision ce soir! Je suis très enthousiaste/très hereuse/ravie. Mon père est parti pour le travail. Ma mère est endormie.
Not sure if this is correct, I’m only a learner myself. Here’s my explanation:
J’ai veux — J’ai volou: I’m assuming you mean past tense here, I wanted to writein French a bit but I don’t know a lot. If you want it to be present tense, it would be Je veux, not J’ai veux. :)
Le / des: I may not have put in the correct articles for what you meant exactly, but check this out http://www.languageguide.org/french/grammar/articles/
manchots vs pingouions: I think manchots is more French, but pingouions is more common.
The “t” in Je t’aime, refers to a “you” as in “I love you.” J’aime ma famille means I love my family, sans t.
When you’re talking about today’s day, it’s very common to say “Nous sommes [le jour]”
Watch out for J’ai excité. Gramatically, it would be Je suis excitée (another e for the feminine), but literally it often means I’m horny. Try other adjectives to express happiness and excitement.
Mon père est parti - Don’t forget that past tense verbs are compound, this means you need two parts! Typically they are present forms of Avoir or Etre with the participe passé.
Ma mère est dormi. - I think you’re trying to describe your mother being asleep, in this case you should should an adjective (dormi is the participe passe), and asleep is actually endormi(e).
Great work though! :)
Bee Hotels for Solitary Bees
You may be wondering what bees need a hotel for, when they make their own hives. The truth is that many species of bees are solitary – the do not live in hives but instead construct their own nest. The main reason for this is because in these species every female is fertile and this would not make for comfortable communal living in a hive.

Decided to spend my desk time today listening to Beginning French podcasts. It’s hilarious. It’s good background noise.

I studied this book my first semester at uni, it was my only English class. It forever changed me, I think of the professor often and he was one of the major reasons I learned French.
that’s some sad shit, Baudelaire.
