Re: Do you understand french?

Not to mention French is logical...

Dark Side of the force with Dark ones in Star Wars. Dark Maul, Dark Vador...*quite* more credible than "darth" from english language! I like when one calls a cat a cat! ;)

Dark Vador vs Darth Vader. Excuse me, but first (french name of Vader) sounds much better and logical to me, him being from the dark side of the force and all. :)

Darth is a sith word though, isnt it? Meaning the name should be universal?

Re: Do you understand french?

its also a highly sexist language

refering to a group consisting of 1 million females and a single male, requires the use of the male term

my written grammer isn't to great, conjugation of verbs is dull

i can read it easily enough

Re: Do you understand french?

Despite your proficiencies with the English language Poppy, you still struggle with 'many' and 'much'.

Not knocking you of course. You speak better English as a second language than 90% of English speaking people anyway.

Too many stupid chav kids these days.

Re: Do you understand french?

je parle francais mais je préfere l'Allemagne.

i do french at GCSE level(same for german) but im better at german, and i make lots of mistakes in french with the accents, and im not great at making the sentences up. id say im average so i voted for the top option. but german is quite a bit A LOT more logical

Isn't it based on Dutch rather than on German?

Anyway, I got to admit that french isn't easy to learn. You must be motivated to succeed there. :)
