Who speaks French?

[jimmyd]

I got this email today and, since i don't speak french, i have no idea what it's talking about other than its in reference to a phrench photo-related site, which is also in french so checking that out didn't help me much altho there's some links to some great photography, at least the couple of sites i clicked on had some cool stuff on them.

so can someone translate? i don't need a word-4-word translation.... just the jist of it or if its spam or whatever. that sort of thing. thanks.

here's the email (and i know what bonjour means--its the rest of it i don't know get other than this guy's name is Jean-Christophe which, like many phrench names, sounds a little phruity to me):

Bonjour,

je suis Jean-Christophe, j'ai lancé cet été un nouveau site donnant une cotation, prix moyen de vente en occasion, sur près de 900 modèles d'appareils photo numériques. C'est un outil utile si vous vendez votre apn, ou projetez d'en acheter un.

D'autre part, j'ai vu que vous animiez ou participiez Ã* un site sur la photo. Aussi, je vous invite Ã* venir inscrire votre site sur mon nouvel annuaire gratuit. Un annuaire de plus, me direz-vous ? Oui, mais celui-ci est dédié uniquement au monde de la photographie.

Attention, ce n'est pas un annuaire généraliste avec une rubrique "photo", mais bel et bien un annuaire thématique sur tout ce qui concerne la photo.

+ thématique photo
+ inscription gratuite

I launched a site this summer that gives the average price of 900 models of cameras. This is a useful tool if you are looking to sell or are about to buy a camera.

I saw that you participate on a photo related website. I also am inviting you to register on my free directory. This one is dedicated only to photography.

This is not a general directory with a photo section. It is strictly a photography directory. You will have:

+ thematic photo
+ free description
+ link

Thats about it. I knew that year in France would come in handy sometime.

There are a few "You filthy Americans" "War-mongering, Imperial Fascists" in there and it finishes with "We surrender."

JUST KIDDING,

I used to use it to send dirty email to my wife at work.
Which actually works out to be quite hillarious and rarely at all arousing when you compose in english, translate to portugese, and then back to english....

French toast and French kissing!

They did excell in other things besides surrendering you know...

[hipchildreth]

You kinda beat me to the punch on this one. I was gonna say, "In America, we don't speak french. We speak freedom."... I'm just kidding too.

Did you see the Onion article about them renaming the Arc de Triomphe? Now it's called the 'Arc de Capitulatione'. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Great, now you've started a Francophile vs. Francophobe thread! This should be interesting.

His name is Jean-Christophe. He launched a website in the summer that lists over 900 models of digital cameras with decent prices. He thinks it's a site that would be useful for you to sell your apn (I have no idea what this means - probably a French colloquialism) or if you have a need to buy one.

Additionally, he saw that you particpate in various photographic websites and forums. So he's inviting you to register your site/yourself at his site. He says it's dedicated to nothing but photography.

He goes on to say, his site has various sections/headings to list your site/yourself. When you register, make sure you pick a suitable heading to list your site/yourself under. You can list it under multiple headings.

+ Photo themes
+ Free descriptions
+ Hard links

You can link to his website on yours. He lists where you can download his banners. Then he says you can also register to participate in a forum.

Hope that helps. I'd pass...

Regards, Art.
