It'd be pretty lovely if someone could tell me if these were right. :c

    It's probably completely wrong, but yeah. This isn't all supposed to flow together, because they're all going onto a poster board into their own little sections. I just need to know if the sentences are right before I write them down on the board. :c

    They seem right to me, but I'm going on less than 2 years of French here. I'm more the Spanish gal here.

    Seems right to me. Except that word up there. I thought favourite was 'préferé' or something like that.

    It's French. The only right thing about it is the fact that was derived from Latin.

    I corrected all of the spelling errors and notified the lines that don' t feel natural. By the way, you can download the French dictionary into your Windows auto-spell check function.

    Je m'appelle ~name~. J'ai dix-sept ans. Mon anniversaire est le dix-neuf février. J'ai trois sœurs, une mère et un père (you should rather say "J' habite avec mes trois sœurs, ma mère et mon père", stating that you have a father and a mother is quite funny, the way you did it : of course you have, who doesn' t ?). Mes couleurs favorites sont le rose, le vert et le bleu. J'adore les chats et les singes. Je joue au football et à la crosse. Mes acteurs favoris sont Rupert Grint, Nicholas Hoult, Megan Fox, Jack O'Connell et Robert Sheehan. J'aime écouter Florence + the Machine, Mumford & Sons, Minus the Bear, Against Me!, Cary Brothers, Tegan and Sara et Matt & Kim. (Saying "Mes groupes de musique préférés sont Florence + the Machine etc ..." would feel more natural. I' m nitpicking though, your sentence is alright) J'ai lu des livres de John Green et Ellen Hopkins. (since you talk about books again later on maybe it would be better to say "Mes auteurs préférés sont John Green et Ellen Hopkins") Mes films favoris sont Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, Jeux D'enfants, The Dreamers et Amélie. Je rêve de visiter New York, Paris, Londres et Tokyo (that' s the way we call those cities). Mes livres favoris sont Never Let Me Go, Looking for Alaska, Perks of Being a Wallflower, Go Ask Alice, Crank, et la BD Scott Pilgrim (BD means "Bande Dessinée", "comique" means "funny" in French. You can also leave it as "le comics", with the "s" at the end even if it' s not plural. We do know that it' s an American BD. It' s pronounced the same way as in English). Les vêtements que je préfère sont les chaussures. (It would feel more natural to say something like "Je suis obsédée par les chaussures, j' en ai toute une collection")

    Seems mostly correct. You're so lucky, I wanted to keep taking French but my high school only offers Spanish D:

    SPANISH IS NOT GOING TO HELP ME WHEN I WANT TO TRAVEL TO EUROPE AND ASIA

    i'm never going to spain btw, so it won't help

    ^ Maybe English won' t help you through Asia, but it should help you through Europe (depends which country you had in mind).
    The only countries where French would help more than English, to my knowledge, are French speaking countries and Italy.

    Yeah, I wasn't saying French would help more than Spanish, just that Spanish isn't going to help much period so we should learn some languages of, eh, idk, maybe actual world superpowers? That would help America get ahead, imo. It's so stupid, I have friends in other counties who are taking Japanese, and I can only take Spanish. Eh, at least it's another language to learn.

    (from what I hear) finding English speaking people isn't as difficult, and Spanish would help you in Italy. Spanish and Italian are really similar, to the point where I can understand an Italian speaker if they talk slowly in basic sentences with just 4 years of Spanish under my belt.

    And why limit yourself to Europe and Asia? There's plenty of beautiful places in South America, and all of them (with the exception of Brazil) predominantly speak Spanish. I could be wrong there, but yeah. Pretty close.

    That' s what I thought too, since I understand Italian a little without having studied it at all, but then I went to Italy on a school trip.
    The first day we tried to speak either in English or Spanish, but no one understood a single word. We then tried French, and quickly noticed that lots and lots of Italians speak French : it' s the first language they learn in Italian schools.

    I was going to take German until the teacher that tought it retired. It's kinda of annoying though, people so many people speak German in my town but none of them are able to teach. >:

    You are right, and portuguese is pretty similar to italian/spanish too. On another topic, my mom keeps thinking learning portuguese would be useful... Meh, I dunno
