When you want to say: "pour", if there is a verb after, you have to use "to" and not "for".
: "ton, ta.." you use your. You is for "toi".

Hi everyone !

I agree with you !

My roommate is English and was a teacher in France.He said we're ( french people) not bad in english , but we don't have self-confidence...

My english is pretty good but only when I write or when I listen someone. I have a really bad accent, so I think that "post" ( ?!) don't help me very much unfortunately ...

but really good idea I like it

That's great !! But i speak more frenglish than english ! :/ But i'll try !

I also advise to use http://www.wordreference.com, it's the best, even my language teachers tell us to use it !! It's the only website I use for translations/language study.

By the way, lovely post, I'm english, so if you have questions I'd be glad to help. My grammar isn't great because I never actually learnt to write English (I was brought up in France and never went to an english school), but I try my best and know a fair bit

I say A+ for effort, at least you guys try, even if it isn't perfect, that's all that matters.

Guys, I am so worried about my oral exam next week ! Can someone advise me about how improve my speaking ? Because my accent is far from being good, and when I have to talk about somthing ininteressant for me, moreover in front on my teacher, I loose my words ... This is so horrible !!
And I would like to have a good mark, so i'm hopeless !

Don't worry about your accent ! My teacher always says that if the other people can understand you, it's ok. In the business world, all the people speak english but they have different accent. Nobody speak with the perfect accent but it isn't a problem ( except english and american people of course )

And .. Hi everybody

Like Rirou, I'd advice you to not worry to much about your accent. I regularly have to do presentation in front of English native speakers and I've never been marked down for my accent or for occasionally mis-pronouncing some words.

Repeat your speach several times before your presentation, it will help you to not get confused or loose your words during the presentation. The better you know your subject, the easier it is to talk about it.
Also, remember to use simple sentences. It make your presentation clearer and easier to understand for the audience, and easier to present for you.

Are you allowed to bring notes or to use a visual aid (powerpoint presentation, for example)? And is your audience supposed to ask questions at the end?

Yes, I have 10 min to write some notes on a paper before speaking in front of my teacher. I have to speak during 5 min, about notions we studied in the year. After that, my teacher will ask me some questions about the notion.

On 3 notions we studied, in my opinion, 2 are very borring and ininteresting. So I'm afraid being not able to answer his questions ! However, I have worked a lot about it !

I agree with other girls, don't worry about your accent ! Your teacher see and ear so much people with a worst accent than yours, you can be sure

And I add that you can improve it enormously in one week

Heidi your are so lovely (yes I use great words )
