Greenhat 0 Posted October 10, 2011 you would not belive it if i told you i used to live in Normandy, and i don`t mean during the second world war Flick the crystal with your fingernail.If it makes a 'plink' sound it's not sapphire, if its a dull tap sound then it is. quelques fois i `m embarresed pour être dans l'anglais dans ici and for that: "sometimes I'm embarrased to be inside the English in here" quelquefois je suis embarrased pour être un Anglais dans ici :boohoo: "Sometimes I'm embarassed to be English inside here" Correct translation would be: "Ici j'ai parfois honte d'être anglais". We don't capitalize nationalities, and "embarassed" is not a French word. Or to fit more with what you were trying to say "Quand je lis ce que les gens ici écrivent, j'ai parfois honte d'être anglais." merci beaucoup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
