Hi! Could i have a question about creating? How did you do that text in your cheat sheet is not cutted in PDF? Thanks and iam sorry for questionong unfer your cheat sheet about French
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.
In the comment section, the apostrophes and accented characters come through as weird character combinations.
Perhaps you could also add words for holiday accommodation eg hotels, motels, apartments, BnBs etc...as lots of tourists travel to France
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) - "sÅ“ur" 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...
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" :)
"C’est combien pour un verre de vin ?" instead of "C’est combien pour une verre de vin ?"
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 ... :)
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.
