| "a" Francais? - Je suis noveau, et je ne bien pas a Francias. Mon premier langue est Anglais (evidemment)
Ne moque pas! -------------------------------------------------------------- I was wondering if I stated that right ["a Francais"]. I meant to say "at French" as in, "I am not good [b]at[/b] French", but for all I know I could be confusing people by referring to "French" as a literal place I could be "at". I am kind of confused... Feel free to correct the rest of the pitiful attempt as well :P | |

| - Hello :)
I'll try to reply to your question. [b]I'm not good at French[/b] would be translated by [color=red] je ne suis pas bonne en français[/color]if a female is talking OR [color=red]je ne suis pas bon en français[/color] if it's a male who's talking [b]at[/b] in this case = [color=purple]en[/color] Here's the correction of your sentence ;) Je suis [b]nouvelle[/b] => you have to agree the adjective because you're a female (so you can't write 'nouveau') You can't write 'Français', 'Anglais' etc. There's no need to use a capital letter, so [color=blue]français, anglais [/color] [b]langue[/b] is a feminine word = la langue My first language = ma langue maternelle [b]Ne moque pas [/b] => ne [b]te[/b] moque pas OR ne [b]vous[/b] moquez pas Hope this can help :) Feel free to ask other questions if you have any | |

| - Thanks for your help; I have but one question:
Why would it be "ne te moque pas". Is it reflexive or what? Once again, merci! -- Hazelnut | |

| - Bonjour,
Sorry to reply so late. [b]Se moquer [/b] is a reflexive verb. So, it's necessary to use a pronoun: ne [b]te [/b] moque pas Oh you're welcome :) | |
