| Thanks! - Thanks, Mery!
Although these phrases are elementary, they really helped me because they had been written by a native French speaker! Now I have an "official" version of these phrases, so that I don't have to think something up by myself when I need to say something simple like "Can you please repeat this?". I am launching another attack on French, so you'll hear from me often from now on! ;-) Arteum | |
