    Please help! Anyone who speaks french ?

    Howdy.

    Right. On monday I've to hand in 3 projects into college.
    I've got them done, but I just wanna know what they'd look like to someone who spoke french fluently, or at least spoke it well.

    So if people could possibly look at the attachment, and tell me of any grammar mistakes, or anything that just doesnt add up, 'd much appreciate it ... I'll even buy them a drink next time they're in Dublin

    "son" and "sa"

    but French has a lot of rules and a lot more exceptions to these rules

    Why do languages bother having genders for things? I mean, why is the moon female? Shouldn't it be neuter?

    Hey, you guys're good

    Not only do you speak French, but you get the little ^ and ` stuff on top of the letters. Except for the Spanish guy, his French didn't look too good to me, mind you they've even got the ? upside down.

    Is Australian just as easy?

    Hey, Beacon & Beachie, wodja think about SA vs Zim in the cricket?
