I know but  

I don't really know if it's a good idea but you could watch some movies and try to read out loud the subs along with the actors... you'll feel stupid but who cares as long as you do it alone

 
 
Ma compréhension est très bonne aucun soucis pour ça mais je suis une buse totale en écriture et a l'oral  

I thought you had a pronounciation problem... well you should try to participate to an english-speaking forum if you don't feel confident enough yet

drank, non?  [drunk serait acceptable, mais seulement dans l'anglais d'il y a plusieurs siècles]
A+,

Nothing to add to the others, man, just go to a pub, have a good beer and talk with native speakers!It's the only way to improve really your spoken English and avoid making too many mistakes (which would probably be the case if you speak with non native speakers who only learnt English at school).  
Don't be afraid to be ridiculous, foreigners love the French accent anyway so enjoy!    
 
The most important is to feel comfortable enough to speak normally about anything you want to...
 
Tomorrow' Saint Patrick's day, will be easy to find some Irish to talk with I guess    
 
 
For the written English, well it may seems stupid but I started chatting with foreigners (girls like me because I didn't want any missunderstanding   ) on MSN thanks to websites where you can meet people from all over the world. (like friendsabroad.com at the time)
It really helped me    
Well, ok, after that I went to College and I had an English degree but still... I started with that, and TV subtitles  

 
 
Like ?

 
 
I'm so sad i'm sick    
 
And in French i don't feel good to speak   so in english  

Ah, too bad    
 
Well I will speak for you if you like    I'm gonna enjoy Paddy's day trust me    
 
Well, it's true that that if you are already shy in French...it won't be easy in English. Although a girl(French) who was with me in Ireland last year, was never speaking in French, but everytime we went to the pub she had a Guinness and after that you couldn't stop her with the irish lads...so try the beer,really  

 
well whatever you want... the biggest ones are english speaking anyway  
Here's some examples if you want to try some : http://www.big-boards.com/

such as Fuck France, a really good way to both improve your english and learn how to argue with the greatest morrons on the whole world

 
 
So for the next day I'll have some Guiness   like Raj ( The Big Bang Theory)

 
 
Thank you very much

isn't there a book called like this??    
 
I remember I read a book like this with all the most horrible sentences in both languages...it was so f***ing funny that everybody around me started reading it, even though they didn't seem to all speak English very well.
 
When it's funny and you enjoy writing/speaking the language you don't think anymore and that is when you really improve.  

 
 
I want to write like this in English  

Well...go Licence d'Anglais at the nearest University

 
 
I'm so old  

Fake excuse....
 
You can have long distance learning nowadays

 
in
 
you obviously never paid a visit to blabla@prog'
 
 
( jk )

 
Looks like you're not going to get great answers there anytime soon

Salut,

J'aimerai relancer une personne par e-mail (pour un entretien d'embauche), et je cherche une formule en anglais du genre,

Je me permets de vous écrire (ou de vous relancer) concernant mon entretien...

Merci d'avance

 
"I'm contacting you (again) regarding my interview"

Hello,

Comment vous traduiriez "La chance a tournée", ou "La chance tourne" ?

J'ai bien pensé à une traduction littérale "The luck turn around", ou "The luck goes around & comes around", mais je me demande s'il n'y a pas une expression particulière aux anglais ou américains !

Merci

la chance a tourné  : his ( ou her etc ) luck has changed

 
Pretty much like everybody here - you won't get much practice if you only rely on this topic, it can appear dead for days at a time.

 
You probably meant "it's worth a shot"

 
Thanks for the compliment! No it's not my mother tongue, but i use it quite often, and hopefully i don't make too many mistakes...

heh, I did'nt expect such a funny thing on this topic

Moving the walls? That's quite extreme

You might regret that afterwards.
Can't you just call it a day and go back home?

(am i supposed to correct the mistakes like a teacher, too? )
 
Working on the internet with a quirky network sure seems like a bad idea...time for some technological survey! (i'm the one who's not sure what the good translation is here..."veille techno" anyone???)

I'll give it a try then
