Me too.  I wasn't very good at guessing lol.  Took French for 1 year at high school.

How did you do on the quiz Min?

Yeah, I took French in high school too, and that was many years ago. You know what they say: use it or lose it. And I definately lost it. :-\

Thanks, David.  :-*

The extent of my French practice since high school has consisted of several hours in Paris between trains, and a couple of hours at Charles de Gaulle Airport between flights. I triumphed in both cases, as long as you take into account that my speech consisted entirely of simple, present-tense questions ("Où est le train à Prague?" and "Est-ce que ce le train à Prague?"), and the woman at the Info desk in the train station rolled her eyes and answered in English.

Failed with flying colours but got 17 out of 40 purely guessing.   ;D

High school French teacher to Min:  What language are you speaking?  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Well see? I only got four more right than you, and I got mostly A's in French. Just goes to show it doesn't pay to study.

Oi, I don't even dare try!

Five years of public school French, and just about all I can remember is Merde! and Zut, alors!
