@Ronflaix @candle MWAHAHA, this is a trick, you're talking about two different things.
"Un tel cochon" = " a pig like that", "a pig of that kind".
But we also have the one-word "untel"/"unetelle", which works kind of like "somebody", but in much more specific uses than English - meaning, it has to be someone in particular, but not someone you're naming, kind of like "some dude" but more formal.
You don't really need to memorize that, I'm just explaining the confusion. ^^
Here, you were most definitely talking about "un tel (cochon)", not the one-word thing! :p

j'ai appris à dire "mon pantalon" en italien
mon cerveau a IMMEDIATEMENT embrayé sur
"... est décousu, et si ça continue on verra ma lune,
mon pantalon,
est décousu,
et si ça continue on verra l'trou d'mon cul"

You're not *supposed* to be able to follow it, especially not without subtitles, but even then... it's definitely Hard Mode French. ^^°
Hoi all mastodonians learning #language or #languages or interested in #linguistics! Many of you may use #Duolingo, and no wonder, it is an amazing tool to learn new languages. But alas, it has been deteriorating lately, I've been told, and it may be that Duolingo's business model and proprietariness may hinder its usefulness in the future.
So an open source alternative would be nice.
And today I found #OpenWords (http://openwords.com/). I'm in no way affiliated with it and I don't know about its pros and cons, but looks promising. What's your take on it? Could it be something that could outgrow Duolingo and become THE language learning platform?
@candle Wooooh, you won't be able to follow THAT, he's speaking VERY fast, and his texts are full of French references... ^^°
In french we don't say "I'm happy" but "LE NOUVEL EPISODE DE CHROMA EST SORTI" and i think it's beautiful
