WHAT WRE THE BENEFITS OF LEARNING FRENCH FOR A 6-GRADER

Learning a foreign language with a fairly different grammar sharpens the intelligence, just like mathematics, provided the learning focuses on umderstanding the grammer and not on remembering a lot vocabolary. French is ideal for that purpose. Furthermore, vacances in French-speaking areas will be more satisfactory. Thirdly it will be easier to begin studying French or other Romance languages professionally at a later time and the grammatical skills and pronunciation of the language as a professional will also be better if one begins learning it early.

HOW CAN INE LEARN FRENCH IN A GOOD AND FAST WAY

Learn as much grammar as possible at an early stage. Learn the derivational endings and prefixes in the language and their meaning early. Learn the 10 most common irregular verbs early. Look and listen to a French video each day. Then begin reading French with the help of a vocabolary. Even if you follow a stepwise course, sneak ahead from the cource by these activities.

Listening to French songs with the lyrics displayed is also useful. You can easily find such resources at Youtube.
------------------------------------------------

IS FRENCH OR SPANISH THE BETTER ONE TO LEARN FOR A FUTURE CAREER

Generally I would say Spanish, but French if you intend to make a career in France, Africa, Quebec and certain other areas with thight connection to France, or intend a career where you must communicate commercially with any of these areas.

------------------------------------------------

WHAT SUBJECT IS BEST TO MAJOR IN, FRENCH, JAPANESE OR RUSSIAN

If you plan to have something to do with France, Quebec or African countries in your future work, French.

If you plan to work somehow in or towards Estern Europe, Russian.

Similarly if you plan to work in or towards Japan, Japanese. But Chinese is more useful for the Far East in general.

------------------------------------------------

THE ROLE OF THE PARTITIVE ARTICLES DU, DE LA AND DES IN THE FRENCH LANGUAGE

Du, de la and des indicate either an amount or numbr of something that is not exactly defined, or a part of some greater amount or number. They can often be translated with “some” or “some of the”. French and Italian developed this construction, but it never developed in the other Romance languages, as far as I know.

--------------------------------------------------

GAT DOES "MON AMOUR" MEAN IN ENGLISH?

It menas “my love”. Litterally it means “my act of loving”, but in daily speach it means “my loved one” spoken to or about a male or a female person.

--------------------------------------------------

WHAT GRAMMATICAL WORDS ARE OFTEN OMITTED IN COMMON SPEACH SUCH THAT THE ABSENSE DEFOLT TO THE SAME MEANING?

"ne" in the nagation "ne - pas" is usually omitted in spoken French. The spoken standard is to use only “pas”. But when you write, you should alway use “ne”. There is also a certain tendency to omit 3. person object pronouns, especially “le”, and especially when it is combined with a dative pronoun. Instead of saying “Je le lui ai donné”, one often will say “Je lui ai donné.” - I gave it to him.
