Has Anyone Thought About Putting a French Translation of the Bible on Memverse?

I thought that might be an interesting idea as I will be learning French as a second language for high school. Any thoughts?

It wouldn't benefit me at all, since I know next to no French, but it's a good idea. I'm surprised there isn't anything in French yet, since we have Spanish and Indonesian.

Because everyone seems to like Spanish better. :( jk

I LOVE French……..

Yes, that's probably because Spanish is a way more popular language around the world…

Actually, though I tend to like Spanish WAY better than French (just my preference), I think that French is more widely spoken, probably second only to English. It is what is used along with English in the UN, for example. But I have no proof for this, and you may be right. :)

What about Spanish do you like better than French?

Well, since I know practically no French… all of Spanish is better than French to me. :D

Actually SBG, Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world, followed by Spanish and English. I'm not sure where French is on the list.

Yeah, now that you say that, I might agree. After all, 1 out of 7 people come directly from China, let alone all the others who learn it for various reasons. :) But it still seems that English is learned more worldwide… Not to seem like I just want to disagree with you, but do you have some kind of proof for that? :)

@SBG…yeah, I guess if you don't know it you wouldn't like it very much. It is an extremely pretty language though. The Spanish accent is kinda easy so that's nice if you're trying to learn it. I've learned a little of both but I'm stressing French right now. :)

I don't have a direct proof, it was just a statistic I read somewhere. I believe that what I read said that the number of Chinese-speaking people was over a billion, followed by Spanish and English with just about a thousand persons difference from each other. They were both around 4 or 5 hundred thousand speakers, I think. Both languages are very close.

I read something like that too Matthew.

Actually, I have been memorizing verses in French on here for a while now! The version is called Louis Segond. You will have to enter most of your own verses, but I know that a few people have been memorizing in this translation, so some of the basic ones should be there already. If not, Biblegateway will have them!

By the way, if you can't find an accent mark, Memverse lets you just skip that letter! (I prefer using a French or Spanish keyboard layout, though; you can find them in the computer's language settings.)

@SBG - Yes, Mandarin (Chinese), English, and Spanish are the most widely-spoken languages in the world. French is probably the second most popular foreign language to study in the USA, though! And it has the second-highest number of countries that speak it, just a lower number of actual speakers.
