Today, I began taking a French language class. After completing and submitting some homework, I got a response. A response that was completely in French. I can't understand shit. FML

Google translate is your best friend in times like this.

Although Google Translate obviously has its flaws, and is in no way an appropriate tool to translate official texts or homework or whatnot, it can be a great help in quickly getting the general meaning of a text. It has to be used intelligently though, and that's where a lot of people fail.

C'est une manière d'apprendre un peu brutale je le conçois. (since this fml is about French :) ).

Tu as fait becoup de faute, mais pas mal. ( you made a lot of mistake , but not bad.)

Well, #18 just forgot a comma, you however, made many more errors. The irony :)

yeah. I had to read the French version of Sartres "No Exit". I didn't even understand the English version.

I took French, 5 years of it and I BSed it all using google translate

<s> Excellent use of 5 years. </s>

You're taking that class for a reason. Stop slacking off and learn the language like you're supposed to. (And yes I do speak french)

Why don't you just type it here and we'll tell you what it says. I'd like to find some use for the 9 years of French classes I took lol.

I'd rather say the student is a bit of a "glandeur". In all seriousness though, OP, if you need any help with your French, feel free to PM.

I just started learning French. Surely, I'm mistaken, and you aren't calling the teacher a duck, right?

You're mistaken. Duck = "Canard" Asshole = "Connard". But, really, I don't think that calling the teacher an "asshole" is justified. If you do not understand what he wrote, just ask him :)
