French Lessons

[Efellia]

Google Translate is an horror... When I write a letter for an English person, I see a lot of mistakes with Google, and it's not very useful for me.

Oh yes ! The accents on the panels ! You're right ! They don't have the same panels as the French ones.

I'm using google translate mainly for words only, not sentences, it is a mess !

And we don't have the same keyboard either here in Canada compare to you in France Even though my keyboard is in french, some keystroke aren't exactly at the same place.

Oh yes, the "qwerty" keyboard and the "azerty" keyboard ! I've forgotten ! It's more complicated...

I hope it's okay to be posting on this, it hasn't been active in months. (Though that's how this whole English forum feels. XD)
Would anyone like to read this and see if it makes sense in French? I want to put it on my profile page so nobody feels bad about trying to trade with me only to realize I can't speak French.

"Salut, je ne sais pas beaucoup de français, je ne parle que l'anglais, donc je vais devoir utiliser un traducteur pour pouvoir communiquer. S'il vous plaît demander des précisions si vous en avez besoin, et si vous voulez me parler, peut-être que vous pourriez utiliser un traducteur trop? Merci!"
I used this translator: http://www.free-translator.com/

Edit: I see that doesn't work when I translated it back to English, maybe this might work:

"Salut, je ne sais pas beaucoup de français, je ne parle que l'anglais, donc je vais avoir à utiliser un interprète pour communiquer. Si vous avez besoin de moi pour essayer de dire quelque chose de différent si le traducteur comprendre s'il vous plaît demander! Et si vous voulez me parler, peut-être que vous pourriez utiliser un traducteur trop? Merci!"

if you want a good translation the best is to ask to french speakers XD

ok so for you're description (if i read well you want pt that there) the best is

"Salut, je ne connais pas bien le français, je ne parle que l'anglais, donc je vais avoir à utiliser un site de traduction pour parler avec les francophones. S'il vous plaît demandez des précisions si vous en avez besoin, et si vous voulez me parler, peut-être que vous pourriez utiliser un traducteur aussi ? Merci!"

that's the translation for

"I, i don't know french well, i only speak english, so i'll have to use a translator to speak with french speakers. Please ask precisions if you need, and if you want to speak with me maybe you could use a translator too ? Thanks !"

[Dreamsinger]

That's true, I hadn't thought about that!
Thanks for the help!

[Gothikadoll]

you're welcome ^^

don't hesitate to ask when you need a translation

[Dreamsinger]

Does anyone have any more words that would be good to learn?

[Gothikadoll]

it depends if you want to learn all the french dictionnary XD

[Atiana]

But if you want a particular vocabulary you can ask ^-^

it depends if you want to learn all the french dictionnary XD

Heehee, I'd like to! (Although this wouldn't be possible for me because I'm learning Spanish for a Foreign Language credit and American Sign Language in my free time. I don't think I could handle being a beginner learning 3 languages!) I do want to learn French (fluently enough to have conversations in it) eventually, though. ^^
I don't have anything in particular, maybe just a few essentials beyond "merci," "bonjour," and the like. Maybe "my name is" or "I don't understand".
