Oh god French oral, panic!

[Jonluw]

I thought "french oral" was some kind of innuendo. Disappointed.

OT: I dunno, ask a friend or something.

Practice surrendering?

You do realize that there are other things out on the internet OTHER than something google bought and claimed as its own,r ight?

Dozens of translators which if you check what the translation is.. (IE.. translate from eng to french, then translate that translation back to its original language you get a feel for how "off" the translator is)

Woah when I read the thread title I had something COMPLETELY different in mind...

But seriously just be confident and you'll do fineeee. Then again that's what I did and I got a C overall in French. My ONLY C. god I hate languages....

After that, learn off a few phrases for if they decide to be an arsehole and ask you about Japan or Lybia (C'est un situation très gràve. Blahdy blahdy blah).

Added to this, remember who runs France (Sarkozy), and know that the French have been really active in Libya and Côte d'Ivoire.

(I find that whenever I have an oral exam I get current issues thrown at me. Call me paranoid.)

Other than that, I'd go over whatever your weakness is (how's your pronunciation? how good's your grammar?).

I've been in that situation before.

If it's a spoken exam and you want some help, post it on a quick youtube vid of you speaking French and post the URL here. I'll see what I can do.

Je vien originalement de Montreal, alors c'est entieremen possible que je puisse t'aider.

accents on a UK keyboard are hard :S

Okay guys/girls I just realised I have left my French oral book at school.
The day before I have my oral exam which is 25% of my final exam.
What the hell do I do as google translate sucks ass.

One phrase: "Je ne comprend pas"

Whenever I didn't understand what the examiner was asking me, I just said that (y'know, rather than staring vacantly at him or something). Got me a B in GCSE French, that did!

 

[MurderousToaster]

I quite literally laughed out loud at the title of this thread. I presume that's why the Scottish system refers to it as a "speaking" exam, to avoid such risqué mixups.

Also, "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?" is always the correct answer in any French exam.

 

[Shirokurou]

Sacre Bleu!

 

[Bloodstain]

French oral? Aww, it's about exams...what a disappointment.

I guess you could ask a friend?

Take this opportunity to stop learning french and learn a useful language!
