Anyone speak French on here?

[eastlondonseagull]

I won an auction two weeks ago on eBay, but the goods have still not arrived. If anyone on here could help me draft a quick message to the seller, I'd be really grateful. My French is a bit dodgy these days.


I basically just want to say: "Hi, I won the record two weeks ago, but it has still not turned up. Please could you let me know when it'll arrive".



All I've written at the moment is: "Bonjour Skiba-school, le disque vinyle que j'ai gagne il ya a 13 jours n'est pas arrive."


And I got a bit stuck after that!

Thanks in advance.

Ask the insider for Seb or Fruitys help. Bit of player/fan bonding.

Babel fish?

It's a bit rubbish, but I'll use that as a last resort.

A-level French was 24 years ago - with a few visits in between - surprising what you can drag up when you try !! Wouldn't want to try it in a live conversation though

I lived in France during 2003-2004 and I've forgotten a lot of it... doesnt help that I speak Italian more as well, as I tend to confuse things.

I see that we came up wit nearly the same thing as you so Im on the right track hopefully

I knew you'd reply in this thread. So your like everyone one else, think you're smart but are like the rest in needing the phase book when going abroad.

f*** off nazi geek... I think I am right in saying that Laura doesnt study French at university, therefore it takes a while to re-familiarise yourself with the language, particularly when attempting translation. I myself have experienced this having only left last year.

Maybe if you werent so busy jacking off over Nick Griffin you'd think before you said anything.

f*** knows my grammar is SHIT! I got dissed for my grammar in every language I learnt. Im too lazy and tend to concentrate on speaking and comprehension skills.

What, so you can write it down for future reference, no way. Use your language translator on the net and look for the meaning, can’t expect us to help you, anyway, thought you was at uni, you could of fooled me.
