Hi,
I'm a french girl living in Paris. I'm 24 and I would be very happy to meet someone who speaks english.
We could do an exchange of conversation french/english. I have been in England for one year for my studies, and I would like to go on speaking.

If you want to improve your french or just meet people in Paris, please contact me. :wave:

bye bye
Mathilde

I am a 55 year old Englishman and will be living in Paris from March 28 until April 9 whilst I attend a French language school. I am seeking French conversation in the evening after school. I will buy dinner if you can help me with my homework. I am equally happy to help improve your English.

I was bored, so I thought I'd correct your French :-)

> J'aime le music et alle sortir dans le weekend.
J'aime la musique et sortir le weekend. (you'd also say "sortir le soir" as opposed to "sortir dans le soir" :-)

).

> Aussi j'adore a voyager.
J'adore aussi voyager.

>Dans le mars ou avril je vais alle a Paris et strasbourg
En mars ou en avril, j'irai a Paris et a Strasbourg.

> avec mes copaines pour une semaine.
pour une semaine avec mes copines. (the order somehow matters here)

> Est-ce que vous etes deja alle en Irlande?
This one's perfect. Just lacks a couple of accents (you can do them by pressing the "Alt Gr" key and the "e" key at the same time).

C'est la vie, comme disent les francais...

cheers

Cheers for that,

Your english is better than my french. Come to think of it, your english is better than my english.

altgr+e= é. Ive been looking for that for ages. I now have the power ééééééééééé

As we say in Ireland

Cheers

Hey Lam, that's ok for é but how do you make è and à?

To do the other accents, it's a bit trickier, but roughly, you need to install the american keyboard driver for windows. and you can then use some magic combos, as in Street Fighter 2.
[Ctrl] + [,] and then [c] will do the c cedille.
[Ctrl] + [`] and then [a] will do the a with a grave accent.
And the same with ['] and [^] to do the 2 other accents.

The end-level boss it quite tricky though. :-)

thats cool,

I'll install that if i can tonight.

Je vous remercie de votre aide
