not bad! you have read quite a bit!
I will take that as a complement.
Merci beaucoup ,Madame
de rien, monsieur.=) Comment est-ce qu'il va votre cours de francais?
je suis un etudiante de francais.
Comment ca va?
je ne comprendre pas 'de rein'.
Pardon my errors. Its damm tough to learn a new language. Started 4 weeks back.Twice a week.
Ca va bien ashraf, et vous?
For four weeks your french isnt bad at all. its great. Agreed its tough but speaking to others in french and watching movies thats the best way to learn. Thats how I "learnt" hindi. I cant read or write it but I can speak it thanks to hindi movies. Its far more important to know how to speak a language than read or write in it. Also reading newspapers is a good idea too. www.lemonde.fr
De rien is like a more informal you are welcome. It means dont worry about it and its nothing. Usually when someone thanks you. Or you can just use the more formal version of "je vous en prie".
Ca va comme ci, comme ca.
Comment vous appelez-vous?
Wow!! Someone else who speaks french.
Now I can practice french with you even when my course finishes.
Thanks for all the tips. Willstart putting them in practice. Am listening to Alizee these days,
je m'appelle "pi" =). Il faut que vous ecrivez en francais aussi.=)
Cant really get the second sentence.
What I manage to get is that it translates as"He will have to question you write in french also"
Poor parser at my end
