Hi LeDavid. You can leave a comment here, or email me at dave@addedbytes.com. Or you can make a better one! :)
This one is good enough. There is no need to make another one.
I think we can just make this one perfect.
I will email you asap...
Hello, here are some corrections (I'm french) :
- 17 is "dix-sept", not "six-sept"
- "père, mère" instead of "pere, mere"
- "frère" instead of "frere"
- "Merci de m’avoir aidé" instead of "Merci de m’avoir aider"
- "A quelle heure est le prochain train?" instead of "Quelle heure est le prochain train?"
- "Aidez-mois, s’il vous plaît." instead of "Aidez-moi, s’il vous plaît"
- "Où est la gare routière?" instead of "Ou est la gare routière?"
- "Puis-je avoir un horaire?" instead of "Puis j’avoir un horaire?"
- portefeuille instead of portfeuille
Thanks for your work !
Sorry...
- "Aidez-moi, s’il vous plaît." instead of "Aidez-mois, s’il vous plaît"
Hi eduens. I've corrected those issues. Thanks for letting me know about them.
Hello Dave,
How to contribute to the French Cheat Sheet? I noticed some few mistakes.
In the essential phrases you could add something for going to the restroom/washroom :
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir ?
;-)
Good idea about the washroom bit.
Sorry, but even though the idea is good, I can't reward you for it like that ... :)
"C’est combien pour un verre de vin ?" instead of "C’est combien pour une verre de vin ?"
Quite right - thanks Faruk, I've corrected that.
Hi, just for information there is 2 way to say 70 and 90
French from France (see up)
French from Belgium and Switzerland : 70 : "septante" and 90 : "nonante"
:)
I like a lot your cheat sheets !
I can help for this one :
- "billet, aller-retour" instead of "billet, allez retour"
- "ParlezÂ-vous anglais ?" instead of "ParlezÂ-vous Anglais?" (no capital)
- "sœur" instead of "soeur"
- Ponctuation : in french you have to put a space before the signs ? ! : ;
- maybe "Thank you for your help" instead of "Thankyou for your help" ;-)
- Maybe you can also add that the adjectives have to agree with the noun or the subject : "Je suis perdu" for a male become "Je suis perdue" for a female... "Désolé" become "Désolée"
Hope it can can help...
Thanks, Matthieu, I've made some changes. Sorry it took so long!
Perhaps you could also add words for holiday accommodation eg hotels, motels, apartments, BnBs etc...as lots of tourists travel to France
In the comment section, the apostrophes and accented characters come through as weird character combinations.
Hello sir,
in the "French - Months" section, the accent on august month is put on 'o'. It should be on 'u'.
Really good work (from a french point of view too).
Bruno.
