I need a phrase translated and my language through high school and college was Spanish. If anyone could translate:
Did your education include learning to speak French?
I would be very appreciative. I came up with:
Votre éducation a-t-il inclus l'apprentissage pour parler Français?
from a translation site, but when I back-translated the phrase it was wacky. I'm desparate! Please help! |  | | | February 28th, 2003, 02:56 PM | #2 | | Long Hair Guru Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: Virginia Age: 28 Posts: 2,151 Length: 20/32/36 Type: 1b/1c/F/ii/iii | Ive only taken high school level French, so I don't know too much, but the translation sounds about right. I know I'm not too much help  | | | | | February 28th, 2003, 03:00 PM | #3 | | Long Hair Admirer Join Date: Feb 2003 Posts: 4 |
I took some French in high school and I believe this would be the answer:
A fait votre éducation inclut l'apprentissage pour parler Français?
Fait- means did
votre- means your
Hope this helps have to go and get ready for a parti!

I didn't trust the "auto-translator". I'll go with Rebekha's.
Thanks again! | | | | | March 22nd, 2003, 07:10 AM | #6 | | Long Hair Devotee Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: Germany Age: 37 Posts: 681 Type: 1b/F/M/ii | To make that sentence sound more like every-day language that the French would actually use  : Est-ce que vous avez apprené le francais à l'ècole? | | | | | March 22nd, 2003, 02:28 PM | #7 | | Long Hair Devotee Join Date: Feb 2003 Posts: 41 | Thank you, Kati! I haven't turned it in yet, so I'll correct that right away. | | | | | March 22nd, 2003, 03:29 PM | #8 | | Long Hair Guru Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: Deepest South Posts: 1,769 Length: 20/32.75/42.66 Type: 2c/C/ii | The most useful website of all time, http://www.systran.net/ uses the following phrase: Votre éducation a-t-elle inclus l'étude pour parler français ? --Cheryl __________________

But, hey, that's only what I think, and I'm German, not French. The French are our neighbors, though and I learned French for about six years. | | | | | March 22nd, 2003, 11:57 PM | #10 | | Long Hair Devotee Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: Germany Age: 37 Posts: 681 Type: 1b/F/M/ii | I just got an idea, marianess: Why don't you e-mail my bf, he learned French at university plus a French guy works right next to him. I'll pm you his addy. Just write down all the sentences that have been suggested to you and ask him which one to pick. | | | | | March 28th, 2003, 12:22 AM | #11 | | Long Hair Admirer Join Date: Feb 2003 Posts: 18 | Some suggestions: Avez-vous étudié français à l'école? Parlez-vous français? Avez-vous appris français à l'école? Est-ce que vous appreniez français à l'école? Est-ce que vous avez pris français à l'école? Vos études ont-ils inclu leçons de français?  That's all I can come up with for now... | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |  Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts
