a few grammer ones Shin but you have to remember that spoken and written french are very different. I really think that with French like that you'd have no bother getting by. Take care Shin and keep your head up, hope it all works out for you pet xx

I could understand it, but my french is not good anyway, so I'm no judge, and you possibly won't even understand me: Je suis Sinead tellement désolé. Etes-vous sur vous voudriez-vous travailler dans une barre ou un restaurant? Y at-il toute autre chose que vous pourriez essayer? Votre Francais est bien, mais mon Francais n'est pas bonne! :oops: Best of luck with the job-hunting!

Unfortunately, it's all largely gone completely out of my head now - it didn't help that I'd learnt mainly german in school. :cry: I used to go around Paris with a dictionary permanently attached to me, and I used to ask everyone to repeat things slowly so I could grasp it. I found most french people were very kind to me, when they could see I really wanted to try and learn, and was very obviously struggling with it. I think you're right to get a job at a french-speaking place. If you're going to be there some time, you'll have to bite the bullet. You'll be fine - don't stress about it. You certainly have enough to get by on for now! :D

Shin, I have a degree in French too and that is one good effort, well done!!!!! You'll have no problem xx

ahhh mila you sound so lovely you know that? ill treat myself to a beer and raise it to ya today ;) youre the best xxx ps my grammar and punctuation is shit as the computer is reversed over here for some strange reason. id be all day typing if i was to stop every second to look for the commas, apostrophies etc. i was made out to be an eejit by a troll yesterday.

You'll have no problem xx[/quote:2q6sr6tz] thanks KC i need to start having a bit more confidence. the funny thing is, i usually have a lot of confidence, not cockiness but never worry about jobs etc. but for once in my life i get the opportunity to realise my dream of learning french and i go to pieces. did you live in france miss kc? hard to adapt to the lifestyle im finding, the whole food culture is one to be envied but at the same token difficult to appreciate. i think unfortunately ireland has the american lifestyle of quick, fast eating whereas over here, every mouthful is savoured. i found i used to get bored when id eat out with my girlfriend and her friends when i came over every month. i was of the opinion of "lets eat, pub it and go home" whereas they make a 4 hour thing of a half an hour meal if that makes sense.
