Are there any native French speakers about please? :)

I’m writing a message to someone in French, and was just wondering if someone might be happy to check whether my French is correct :)

Thanks!

Not french, so cant help there but just wanted to say google translate does get it wrong sometimes and I dont think there is a problem asking to double check something thats really important!

halfwitpicker · 09/04/2018 18:14

Google Translate produces a text that sometimes doesn't sound very natural and occasionally says something the writer didn't intend.
I live in Germany now and colleagues sometimes request I check their Google results.

For anything that has more than very simple sentence structure and meanings, especially something important, always safer to ask a native speaker to check

But don't offend her Grin

Is a French message the same as a French letter?

WorraLiberty · 09/04/2018 19:05

Honestly, there are no words French or otherwise, to describe how rude that is OP Shock
